What is the difference between material entering from the bottom and from the top of a storage tank?
From a safety perspective, static electricity generated when material is fed in from the bottom of the storage tank is low, whereas friction between the material and air when it is fed in from the top generates static electricity.
Prevent static electricity, so that the liquid does not collide with the surface and generate static charge
You can insert a tube from the top to reach the bottom of the container
Generally, is it a tube that goes in from the top and down to the bottom?
Currently, safety designs involve entering from the bottom of the tank, resulting in less static electricity and a higher safety factor
Material erosion and process factors may also be reasons for feeding from the bottom
What we do is all to enter from the top; we rarely use entry from the bottom
This is related to the properties of the material. For materials that tend to generate static electricity and for which strict requirements exist regarding the level of static charge, it is best to insert the tube from the bottom or top; however, measures must be taken to prevent backflow, such as installing check valves
