Foots Screening Tank

The screening tank is designed to pre-screen crude oil from the presses, containing up to 10% solids (foots), before it undergoes filtration or clarification in a decanter. This tank is typically sized to provide 20 to 30 minutes of settling time and buffer storage, ensuring efficient pre-processing of the crude oil.
