Demin. Water Storage Tank - Top or Bottom Inlet?
Demin. Water Storage Tank - Top or Bottom Inlet?
(OP)
I am building a new demineralized water tank to supplement an existing tank. The existing tank has the inlet at the top. Going into the top of the tank increases cost by adding a long stainless steel riser to the top of the tank. Are there good process reasons for doing this?The tanks will be fed by ion exchange demineralizer trains. Is it beneficial to have constant back pressure on the demin. trains? Are there other reasons for placing the inlet at the top of the tank? The two tanks will have separate inlet headers which are not hydraulically linked.
