Process Tanks
Remote Sump Tanks
Remote Sump Tanks are added to industrial process cooling tower circuits to hold the recirculation water used for cooling.
When the environment requires freeze protection, the sump tank is located indoors to prevent damage to the cooling tower. The sump tank is also used as a reservoir to hold cooling system water during shutdown and maintenance.
Remote sump tanks simplify water treatment by providing a single location for monitoring water quality.
Northland Tank and Fab’s Remote Sump Tanks are available as rectangular, cylindrical, and two-piece, bolted construction. The standard carbon steel, epoxy-coated tanks may be substituted for stainless steel materials.
Ammonia Diffusion Tanks
Ammonia Diffusion Tanks are designed to receive the emergency release of ammonia from a refrigeration system. When the system’s pressure relief valve opens, the ammonia is released into the water within the tank to dilute it and reduce its concentration. From there, it may be safely released into the atmosphere.
The tank’s capacity, inlet, vent, and overflow nozzle sizes are provided to Northland Tank and Fab by the facility design engineer. Each tank includes an access cover, sensor port, drain, overflow, and level indicator/detector nozzles. Heater ports are also provided when required by environmental conditions.
Northland Tank and Fab’s Ammonia Diffusion Tanks are vertical cylindrical tanks available in epoxy-lined carbon steel or stainless steel. An option to insulate the shell and top is also available.
