Stainless Steel Tank Vent Dryers for Hostile Environments

Brownell has introduced a new range of tank vent dryers in high grade stainless steel to compliment their existing and aluminium steel and plastic versions.

The dryers and adsorbents prevent valuable fluid materials from being contaminated by harmful moisture condensation. Condensation typically occurs when high humidity air is drawn into the storage tank or vessel.

Tank Vent Dryer can be installed on storage tanks or vessels of up to 500,000 litres.

Installation of the units is quick and simple with a direct connection being made to an existing breather or vent pipe.

Brownell's tank vent dryers are suitable for use in aggressive and hostile environments such as the North Sea, and are designed for use with storage tanks containing corrosive fluids such as acid and alkalies. Typical locations would include chemical sites, plant works and processing installations.

The dryers are offered in five different sizes. Optional electronic detectors enable users to constantly monitor the efficiency and capacity of the dryer. Saturated adsorbents can be identified by an alarm, taking away the need for routine manual monitoring.
