Pump Tanks & Product Flumes
Throughout many facilities assorted products are transported through process piping to get from one area to another. Flumes and pump tanks are necessary to introduce product into the process stream. SSi will custom build tanks and flumes per customer specifications. Inlet and outlet sizing as well as volume and shape are all customizable. Stainless steel construction with a 2B finish is normally used in a normal application but finish and material can easily be specified prior to design. Pump tank frames are typically designed with tubing rotated on a 45° angle to prevent any flat surfaces for water to pool on.
