Gny Floating Suctions Assembly
GNY Equipment, Inc. is a unique Made-In-USA manufacturer located in Bay Shore, New York serving Aviation ground fueling operation throughout the world, with a focus on airports worldwide.
GNY Equipment manufactures 27 different production lines, including the unique Floating Suction Assembly, using all modern metal fabrication equipment such as power shears, press brakes and roll forming. The GNY machine shop handles a wide variety of metal turning, drilling, milling, grinding operations and all metal welding, by certified welders.
GNY Equipment manufactures Floating Suctions for use in horizontal or vertical Aviation storage tank, which is above or below ground with or without a Floating Roof.
Each GNY Floating Suction Assembly is designed with GNY Proprietary design calculations, using AutoCAD software and Excel to suit customer’s individual tank specifications and data.
The assemblies are easy to install and designed for a longer life in service. Hundreds of GNY Floating Suction Assemblies are in service since 1980, increasing efficiency and decreasing maintenance of filter separator.
- Deliver a cleaner product by drawing the fluid closest to the surface. Water, foreign particles, rust and debris settle at the bottom of the tank through gravity. The suction intake includes a stop leg in order to maintain an undisturbed tank bottom, eliminating a high percentage of water and sediments from aircraft fuel, motor fuel, heating oils and petrochemicals.
- Decant water from sewage treatment plant separation tanks. In an inverted installation, it can also skim oils from the top of water run off settling tanks (with standard or inverted type inlets).
- Reduce inlet velocity with special bellmouth. So, “bottom” remains undisturbed.
- Increase efficiency and decrease maintenance of filter separator.
Important Note: It is recommended that tanks equipped with floating suctions have provision and procedures for systematic draining of tank bottoms (water) same as tanks without floating suctions.
