Swivel Joints Type Floating Suction Unit for Jet Fuel Tanks

Floating Suction Unit (FSU) are used within storage tanks for petroleum and aviation products. Suspended by the surface of the liquid, the inlet to the pump is held in the clean dense product regardless of the constantly changing liquid level.

Floating Suctiono Unit is suitable for all kinds of horizontal and vertical storage tanks. One end is connected to the short oil outlet pipe at the bottom of the oil tank, and the other end is suspended under the liquid surface with the buoy, and floats up and down with the rise and fall of the liquid level, which allows it to always draw surface fuel. Due to the sedimentation of moisture and impurities, using floating suction unit to extract the upper fuel oil can ensure the extraction of cleaner fuel and prolong the service life of the downstream purification equipment.

Floating Sucition Unit Features:

• The product is always transferred in a defined distance under the liquid level
•  Contamination dirt, sediments, solid particles and heavy fluids remain on the tank bottom ensuring constant quality, independent from liquid level
• Ease of steering and long lifetime due to the swivel joint ball bearing
• Easy to mount due to internal swivel joint flange
• Robustness against pressure conditions (pressure variations) in tank and tube
• Minimal vortex formation through optimized inlet with anti-vortex suction
• Pressure-proof floats
