Hello, this question is related to my previous post above. For the buffer tank that has a dip pipe on the liquid fill line and a vent to a vacuum tower, what is the consequence of not sealing the dip pipe? I would imagine gas being drawn back to the tower via both the vent and liquid fill line. But if my liquid fill line is sized to be self venting, is this an issue? I would also think that it would be optimal to control the level at some minimum required submergence of the dip pipe to avoid excessive back pressure on the product leaving the tower to the buffer tank. Comments on that thought?
Thanks,
