Tanks & tank farms
In every brewery or beverage production operation are tanks are indispensable. They serve as the workhorses of the industry, playing pivotal roles in various processes, from fermenting and storing beer, to housing critical liquids like hot water or degassed water. Tanks are essential for the efficient operation of the brewery, enabling the storage and distribution of vital ingredients, as well as managing potential safety risks. For example, sugar storage tanks must meet strict criteria for Clean-in-Place (CIP) procedures, ensuring the highest standards of hygiene are maintained. On the other end of the spectrum, there are tanks designed to handle substances with high potential hazards, such as ethanol tanks, which require both explosion-proof and leak-proof features due to their water-endangering properties.
The tank itself, while a core component, is just the beginning of a complex puzzle. Application-specific considerations must be taken into account for each tank. Questions arise about the required pressure levels, the temperature to which the tank must be designed, its vacuum resistance, and whether it should be double-walled or even type-tested. Effective tank cleaning processes are also critical to maintaining the quality and safety of the stored materials.
These questions may seem daunting, but we have answers. We possess the expertise to address these challenges, providing tailored solutions to meet the unique demands of every tank. We understand that every tank has its own set of requirements, and as such, we approach each project with an individualized assessment of the circumstances, ensuring that the tank design is not only fit for purpose but also optimally efficient and safe.
However, the complexity doesn‘t end with the tank itself. What happens around the tank is equally important. How does the medium enter the tank? How is it efficiently distributed within the system? How is it safely extracted from the tank for its intended purpose? Depending on the specific application, we offer a range of concepts that are rooted in the principles of simplicity and flexibility. These concepts ensure that the entire tank farm operates seamlessly, delivering the desired results while maintaining safety and efficiency as paramount concerns.
