Drain system for storage tanks

Especially in climates with high rainfall water can accumulate on the external floating roof of atmospheric storage tanks. Adequate draining of this rainwater is a very important aspect of safe and reliable operation of storage tanks with external floating roofs.

Drain water on external floating roofs may contain sediments and debris, which causes the drains to malfunction. Also, the placement of the drains inside the stored product makes the drain design challenging.
COTESO provides several tank drain solutions which take these important aspects into consideration.

Pivot Drain

Our pivot drain consists of a reinforced composite hose fitted in a metallic pivoting joint. This is an ideal long-lasting flexible pipe connection for this application. Drain pivot flexible connections can be supplied in 3”, 4” 6”, 8”, 10” and 12”.

Drain hoses

Our tank drain hoses are a proven solution for the challenging draining of rain water on external floating roofs. The major advantage of these hoses is its simplicity in design. It has a limited amount of connections and therefore high reliability.
