Filter tank

Filter tank 

The filter tank is used for filtering solids from saline reservoir water by means of built-in filter nozzles at the bottom. The multi-layer filter has a volume of 7,950 liters and was made of stainless steel 1.4404. For dimensioning the tank, a calculation for alternating strength (load change & internal pressure calculation) was carried out. Computer-aided calculation methods are used to optimize the wall thicknesses.
