OPW Floating Suction Assemblies are designed for use in horizontal or vertical, above or below ground storage tanks where little or no contamination can be tolerated, such as aircraft fuel. Since the fuel near the top is least likely to contain water or foreign particles, these assemblies are designed to float near the top of the liquid surface and draw from this near-surface contamination-free liquid. OPW floating suctions are engineered for long, trouble-free life and providing storage tank manufacturers and end users the cleanest liquids possible.
