Rules for sizing anti-siphon holes? - Part 2 1

[JJJ2000]

thread378-293910

All,

It has been some time since I posted this question (see the above thread), but in the meantime I stumbled across a different solution to this problem. Somewhere I found the suggestion to use a long piece of angle iron or even just a long rod to connect the nozzle to the bottom of the tank instead of using a dip tube with an anti-siphon hole. The angle iron electrically bonds the hydrocarbon stream with the bulk fluid in the vessel and there is no concern about an anti-siphon hole plugging.

Does anyone have any experience with this kind of thing? Is there something else that can go wrong here that I'm not thinking of?

Thanks,
JJJ

I've seen a length of chain from the nozzle to the bottom of the tank/vessel used.

Good luck,
