Schützen Sie Lagertanks vor Korrosion, dem Qualitätsverlust eingelagerter Substanzen & dem Austritt von Schadstoffen.
Haben Sie Kondensat in Ihrem Lagertank entdeckt, oder noch schlimmer: Rost, freies Wasser im eingelagerten Medium, Schlammablagerungen sowie ein öliger Geruch beim Wiederbefüllen des Tanks? Die Ursache: Feuchtigkeit und Schmutzpartikel, die ungehindert in den Tank eindringen, wenn das gelagerte Medium abgelassen und Luft zum Druckausgleich angesaugt wird, sowie Ölaerosole, die beim Wiederbefüllen des Tanks entweichen.
Seien wir ehrlich: Wenn Sie nichts dagegen unternehmen, drohen Ihnen teure Wartungsarbeiten und Schäden für Mitarbeiter und Umwelt.
Glücklicherweise gibt es eine Lösung: die Installation eines GIEBEL Adsorber®. Er trocknet und reinigt die Zuluft und verhindert das Entweichen von Schadstoffen – das spart Ihnen Wartungsaufwand und Geld.

FAQ zu Lagertanks.
Malfunctions & troubleshooting
Condensation forms inside storage tanks when humid air enters through the breather during temperature changes. As the air cools, moisture condenses on the inner walls and drips into the stored product, leading to water contamination.
What you can do: Use a GIEBEL Adsorber® to filter out moisture from the intake air, effectively preventing condensation inside the tank.
Phase separation occurs when moisture enters the tank and alters the chemical stability of the product, especially in oils, biodiesel, and chemicals. Water ingress promotes emulsions and sedimentation.
What you can do: Install a GIEBEL Adsorber® on your storage tank to block humidity from entering and preserve product homogeneity.
Rust forms when moisture-laden air enters the tank and condenses on steel surfaces. Over time, this causes corrosion, leading to contamination and structural damage.
What you can do: Use a GIEBEL Adsorber® to prevent moisture ingress and protect both the stored product and the tank structure from corrosion.
Spoilage happens due to the combination of moisture, oxygen, and dust entering through the breather. This accelerates oxidation, microbial growth, and chemical breakdown, reducing product shelf life.
What you can do: Fit a GIEBEL Adsorber® to your tank to block moisture and dirt, keeping the product in optimal condition for longer periods.
Storage tank oil & filtration
The frequency of replacement depends on storage duration and contamination risks. By preventing moisture and dirt from entering the tank, GIEBEL Adsorbers® significantly extend storage intervals and reduce the need for filtration.
What you can do: Use a GIEBEL Adsorber® to stabilize product quality and minimize the frequency of costly replacements.
Typical signs include cloudiness, phase separation, color changes, sludge buildup, or foul odors—all indicators of water or particulate contamination.
What you can do: Prevent contamination from the start by using a GIEBEL Adsorber®, ensuring clean, stable product in storage.
Contaminated product can cause downstream machinery damage, lead to product disposal costs, trigger process failures, and even invalidate product warranties.
What you can do: Block contamination at the source with a GIEBEL Adsorber® and protect your production processes from preventable damage.
Efficiency & optimization
A stable product condition reduces maintenance time, minimizes filter replacements, and cuts cleaning costs for storage tanks and connected systems.
What you can do: Install a GIEBEL Adsorber® to maintain a stable, clean storage environment and optimize operational efficiency.
Product spoilage and contamination often result in unnecessary disposal and waste. Preventing moisture and dirt ingress with GIEBEL Adsorbers® helps you avoid these costs entirely.
What you can do: Equip your tanks with a GIEBEL Adsorber® to prevent product loss and lower disposal costs.
Service & parts
GIEBEL offers adsorbers in various sizes to match tank volume, product type, and environmental exposure. We provide special configurations for oils, fuels, chemicals, and water-based products.
What you can do: Contact GIEBEL or use our product finder to select the right adsorber for your storage tank application.
GIEBEL Adsorbers® are easy to install on standard breather connections using compatible adapters or flanges, with no need for system modifications.
What you can do: Install your GIEBEL Adsorber® directly on the breather connection to start protecting your storage tank immediately.
Our adsorbers feature color-changing desiccant that visibly shows saturation levels. When the gel changes color, it indicates the need for refill or replacement.
What you can do: Regularly monitor the desiccant color and change it when fully saturated to maintain full protective performance.
