Abstract

A system for temporary storage and offloading of granular materials is presented. The system comprises a tank for storage of a granular material and a suction head for offloading granular material from the tank. The suction head comprises a lower end, an outlet for removing granular material from the suction head, and sidewalls, extending from the lower end to the outlet. The suction head further comprises at least one opening for the inflow of granular material into the suction head and one or more nozzles configured to emit a pressurized fluid. The one or more nozzles comprise one or more inner nozzles, configured to generate a helical flow within the suction head, and one or more outer nozzles, configured to generate a helical flow around the suction head in the same direction as the inner nozzles. Also presented is a method for storage and offloading of granular materials.
