Stratification tanks
Stratification tanks for efficient storage and temperature control
Stratification refers to the process where different layers of a specific liquid or gas are distributed based on density or temperature differences. A stratification tank is specifically designed to separate and retain liquids or gases in different layers. In this process, the warmer liquids, which are less dense, rise to the top of the tank, while the colder, denser liquids sink to the bottom. This process is often supported by smart inlet and outlet configurations that control the flow within the tank, allowing the liquids to slowly arrange themselves in layers without mixing. This makes stratification tanks ideal for applications such as temperature control, energy storage, and water treatment, where it is essential to keep different liquids separated for maximum efficiency.
Applications of Gpi’s stratification tanks
Gpi’s stratification tanks offer versatile applications across various industries, efficiently separating liquids with different densities or temperatures. The principle of thermal stratification is applied in these specially designed tanks, ensuring that liquids with different temperatures remain optimally separated. These tanks are used in industrial processes where heat and cold energy are stored for reuse later in the process. This principle is primarily applied by companies looking to produce more energy-efficiently and optimize their current production processes. Made from high-quality stainless steel, these tanks are insulated to reduce heat loss and can be fully customized by Gpi to meet the specific requirements of your process.

FAQ
What is the maximum capacity of a stratification tank for thermal stratification?
We can provide stratification tanks in a wide range of capacities, from a few cubic meters to thousands of cubic meters, depending on the size of your system and the amount of thermal energy you wish to store.
What are the benefits of thermal stratification?
- Improved energy efficiency: Maximizing the use of stored heat or cold without mixing the layers.
- Reduced energy costs: Operational costs can be reduced as less energy is required to heat or cool a specific process.
- Longer lifespan of energy sources: The separated layers in the tank preserve the energy quality.
What applications are Gpi's stratification tanks suitable for?
The stratification tanks for thermal stratification are often used in heat and cold storage applications in sustainable energy projects where temperature control is important. Gpi tanks are primarily applied in the dairy, food, chemical, and water industries.
