    Has anyone protected an atmospheric storage tank against insect ingress using screens or PV valves?

    Thanks bimr. I will check to see if a 24 mesh screen is feasible by expanding the vent line so that the flow area is not reduced by the vent (with a 100% margin)

    Has anyone protected an atmospheric storage tank against insect ingress using screens or PV valves?

    Thanks for referring me to these values, that's a great starting point. In the case of the tanks that vent only through the overflow, the overflow pipe is generally much larger than each of the inlet pipes (6" compared to 2" in many cases). I believe they have been sized to allow...

    Has anyone protected an atmospheric storage tank against insect ingress using screens or PV valves?

    Thanks for the responses. My problem is going to be determining what the maximum and minimum permissible pressures are going to be for each tank, as these are not specified in the tank documentation (often it is specified as 'liquid full' or 'atmospheric plus liquid head'). If I could...

    Has anyone protected an atmospheric storage tank against insect ingress using screens or PV valves?

    Hi all. Was wondering if anyone here had any experience in this type of problem. The company I am working for wishes to protect all of their atmospheric storage tanks against insect ingress. Some of these tanks only vent through the side entry overflow pipe, some of them have a separate side...
