[b]HOW DO I DESIGN A TANK INLET DIFFUSER[/b]
(OP)
I've recently been approached about the design of an inlet diffuser for a 230ft dia. tank. I've never delt with this before and immediatly told the person that, but I want to know more. Conceptually I understand what a diffuser is supposed to do. What are the design considerations for such an application? Please enlighten me!
As far as this conversation is concerned, the diffuser is only introducing the product into the tank.
Thanks,

Another issue is the floating roof, if there is one. Probably work best to talk to whoever designed it for recommendations or requirements.

We are in the estimating stage of this tank. The client said they will be providing specifics such as inlet flow rates and inlet location at a later date. I am assuming it will be provided if we get the job. The only additional information I have is this: Tank Dia. 230', Height 32', Double Deck Floater External, Product is Dripolene/Naptha SG=1.0
