What Do Suspended Baffle Curtains Do?
Suspended baffle curtains are installed in storage tanks to optimize performance and support the tank’s specific function. Their role may vary depending on the industry and the type of liquid stored.
They can control liquid levels and distribution, ensuring balanced flow throughout the tank. Baffle curtains also enhance mixing and agitation, improving overall treatment efficiency. In addition, they help reduce wave action, minimizing turbulence and stabilizing liquid surfaces inside the tank.
By extending contact time and improving circulation, they support higher water quality and compliance with safety standards.
Client Questions – Our Answers
We know our clients often have important questions before starting a project. Here are clear answers to help you make informed decisions with confidence.
They regulate water flow in tanks, preventing short-circuiting and improving mixing. They also extend retention time and reduce wave action for better treatment results.
They ensure proper chlorine contact time, balanced flow, and reduced dead zones, improving disinfection and overall water quality.
By redirecting flow under, over, or around barriers, they extend the water’s path. This increases retention and ensures complete treatment.
They are made from NSF-approved geomembranes like Vinyl, XR-3, XR-5, and R-PPE. With stainless steel or FRP hardware, they offer durability and long service life.
