Recovery Tank for Industrial Drain & Recovery Systems

Product Specifications

Technical details and manufacturing context for Recovery Tank

Definition

The Recovery Tank is a critical component of the Drain & Recovery System, serving as the primary collection and temporary storage vessel for fluids, chemicals, or other materials recovered from industrial processes, spill containment, or cleaning operations. It facilitates safe handling, measurement, and subsequent transfer of recovered substances for disposal, recycling, or treatment. The tank is available in materials such as stainless steel (SS304, SS316), carbon steel, polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP), allowing selection based on chemical compatibility and service conditions. Key parameters include nominal capacity ranging from 100 to 5000 liters, design temperature from -20 to 120°C, wall thickness from 4 to 12 mm (per GB/T 709), and material grades 304 or 316L (per ASTM A240). Inlet/outlet diameters range from 25 to 150 mm (per GB/T 9112), with connection types either flanged or threaded. The internal surface finish is ≤0.8 μm Ra (per ISO 4287) to minimize contamination, and the leakage rate is ≤0.1 mL/min. Corrosion allowance is 1 to 3 mm (per GB/T 150), and the tank weight ranges from 50 to 2000 kg. Hydrostatic test pressure is 1.5 times the design pressure (per GB/T 150) to verify integrity. These values are reference ranges; actual specifications must be confirmed with the manufacturer for the specific model and application. The tank operates by receiving recovered materials via connected piping from drains, sumps, or collection points, providing a sealed or vented containment volume with level indicators, access ports, and outlet connections. It relies on gravity feed or pump-assisted transfer for filling and controlled discharge for further processing. Proper selection requires evaluating system flow rate, recovery cycle time, fluid properties, and operating conditions. Regular inspection of seals, level indicators, and corrosion is essential to maintain performance and safety.

Working Principle

The tank receives recovered materials via connected piping from drains, sumps, or collection points. It provides a sealed or vented containment volume, often equipped with level indicators, access ports, and outlet connections. Its operation is based on gravity feed or pump-assisted transfer into the tank, followed by controlled discharge or pumping out for further processing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What materials are available for the Recovery Tank?

The Recovery Tank can be fabricated from stainless steel (SS304, SS316), carbon steel, polyethylene (PE), or polypropylene (PP). The choice depends on the chemical compatibility of the recovered fluids and the operating environment. For chloride or acidic environments, 316L is recommended. Always confirm the material grade with the manufacturer for your specific application.

What is the typical capacity range for a Recovery Tank?

The nominal capacity ranges from 100 to 5000 liters. The required capacity depends on the system flow rate and recovery cycle time. For example, a system with a high flow rate may need a larger tank to avoid overflow. Verify the exact capacity needed for your process with the manufacturer.

What standards apply to the Recovery Tank?

The design pressure and corrosion allowance follow GB/T 150, wall thickness per GB/T 709, material grade per ASTM A240, inlet/outlet dimensions per GB/T 9112, leakage rate, and surface finish per ISO 4287. These standards serve as procurement references; they do not guarantee certification. Confirm compliance with the manufacturer.

How is the Recovery Tank tested for integrity?

The tank is subjected to a hydrostatic test pressure of 1.5 times the design pressure, as per GB/T 150. This test verifies that the tank can withstand pressure without leakage. The leakage rate should not exceed 0.1 mL/min. Always request test documentation from the manufacturer.
