Frequently Asked Questions
What tank sizes are suitable for jet mixing systems in oil storage applications?
Our jet mixing systems are especially cost-effective for tanks over 1,000 gallons and can handle storage vessels of virtually any size. We've installed systems in tanks ranging from small equalization vessels to massive refinery storage tanks exceeding 50,000 gallons. The system is scalable—multiple jet mixers can be configured for larger installations to ensure complete circulation and mixing.
Can jet mixing systems handle high-viscosity petroleum products?
Yes, our systems effectively mix fluids with viscosities up to 100 cP, making them ideal for heavy oils, residual fuel oils, and other viscous petroleum products. The high-velocity jets create powerful circulation patterns that prevent stratification and maintain product uniformity even in challenging applications where conventional mixers struggle.
How do jet mixers prevent oil stratification in storage tanks?
Our bidirectional and directional jet mixers create continuous circulation patterns throughout the entire tank volume. The high-velocity jets entrain surrounding fluid, generating turbulent flow that prevents temperature and density stratification. This ensures uniform product quality and prevents the settling of heavier components at tank bottoms.
What maintenance is required for oil storage jet mixing systems?
Our systems require virtually no maintenance because all mechanical components—pumps, motors, and controls—are installed outside the tank for easy access. There are no submerged moving parts, seals, or bearings to fail. Routine maintenance is limited to standard centrifugal pump service, typically performed during scheduled shutdowns.
How long does installation take for a complete oil storage mixing system?
Installation timelines vary based on tank size and system complexity. Our prefabricated modular sections significantly reduce field installation time compared to custom-built systems. Typical installations range from several days for smaller tanks to 2-3 weeks for large refinery storage systems. We work closely with your operations team to minimize downtime.
Can jet mixing systems be retrofitted into existing oil storage tanks?
Absolutely. Our systems are designed for easy retrofitting into existing tanks with minimal structural modifications. The jet nozzles mount through standard tank penetrations, and all pumping equipment installs externally. We've successfully retrofitted hundreds of existing storage tanks across various industries, often improving performance over previous mechanical agitator systems.
What energy savings can be expected compared to mechanical agitators?
Our jet mixing technology typically delivers significant energy reductions compared to conventional mechanical mixing methods. The efficient hydraulic design minimizes power consumption while maximizing mixing effectiveness. Many clients see payback periods of 2-3 years through reduced operating costs alone, not including maintenance savings.
Do you provide system design and engineering services?
Yes, complete custom engineering is included with every project. Our experienced team uses computer-aided design to optimize system configuration for your specific tank geometry, fluid properties, and process requirements. We provide detailed specifications, installation drawings, and ongoing technical support throughout the project lifecycle and beyond.
