Storage tanks & vessels are commonly used across a wide range of industries, including food and beverage, water treatment, & chemical processing. These tanks are essential for holding raw materials, intermediate mixtures, cleaning agents, CIP chemicals, hot WFI for pharmaceuticals & final products pending further processing or packaging. Throughout normal operations, tanks regularly fill & empty, requiring careful consideration of how air moves in & out of the system.
Properly designed tank and vessel sterile vent filtration is crucial for protecting tank contents from environmental contamination while ensuring safe pressure equalisation. As tanks are filled, displaced air must be allowed to escape, and as they are emptied, air must be drawn back in. Without appropriate sterile venting, pressure imbalances can occur, potentially leading to serious structural failures such as implosions or explosions. Choosing the right sterile vent filter is key to maintaining product integrity, process safety, and equipment reliability across sectors like food and beverage, water treatment, and beyond.
