Bacon Bomb Sampler

Bacon Bomb Samplers are used to take samples of tank bottoms. It was intended to take a sample of the water bottom in crude oil storage tanks after the off loading of oil tankers into the refinery. The water sample could then be tested for salt content or Sodium Chloride. The salt content is very important in crude oil, it can cause all types of issues in the refining process, like corrosion, and it will deactivate catalyst like Zeolite widely used today in refining. Now days Bacon Bomb Samplers are used for all types of product and tank sampling. It is widely use in Heating Oil Tank Sampling and Diesel Oil Tank Sampling. These are the smaller tank kept at distribution centers where they are taking samples and  testing if there is any deterioration in the product before it is delivered to the end user or put into service in their trucks. Diesel Fuel can and will actually grow a bacteria. Because the sulfur content has been stripped from refined diesel fuel, this bacteria only needs a little water to start growing. Tanks that sit with no use for extended periods of time can accumulate small amounts of water from condensate. This is more than enough for the bacteria to start growing. There are companies available that offer a treatment for the bacteria growth. We stock several sizes and styles, 4oz Brass Bacon Bomb Sampler, 16oz Brass Bacon Bomb Sampler and the 32oz Bacon Bomb Sampler. We also have Stainless Steel Bacon Bomb Samplers for sampling corrosive or acid products.
