Función y Descripción
PROTEGO® Floating Suction Units, FSU, are used in storage tanks with very high purity requirements of the substances, e.g., aviation or fossil fuels. They are designed to ensure that product in a storage tank is drawn off just below the surface of the liquid where it is cleanest. This prevents the settled water and residuals at the bottom of the tank from being sucked in.
