İkincil ( Sekonder ) Alkan Sülfonat (SAS), parafin olarak da adlandırılan anyonik bir yüzey aktif maddedir.

İlk kez 1940 yılında sentezlenmiş ve yüzey aktif madde olarak kullanılmıştır.

1960`lardan beri SAS, piyasada kullanılan başlıca anyonik yüzey aktif maddelerden biridir. Bulaşık, çamaşır ve temizlik ürünlerinde başarıyla kullanılır.

 

İkincil alkan sülfonat (SAS) bir anyonik yüzey aktif maddedir ve halihazırda 1940 yılında n-parafinlerin sülfoksidasyonu ile üretilmiştir (Platz ve Schimmelschmidt, 1940). 

1960`larda sürfaktan olarak tanıtıldı. Suda çok iyi çözünürlük, yüksek ıslatma etkisi, belirgin köpürme gücü, mükemmel yağ ve kir dağıtma özellikleri, SAS`ı özellikle bulaşık

 yıkamada deterjanlarda önemli bir yüzey aktif madde bileşeni haline getirir.

Ataman Chemicals SAS 60 Üretim Metodu

Temel olarak, ikincil alkan sülfonatlar (SAS) sülfoksidasyon ve sülfoklorlama yoluyla üretilebilir.

Sülfoklorlama ile üretilen alkan sülfonatlar (Reed, 1933), istenmeyen yan ürünler içerdikleri için esas olarak deterjan olmayan teknik amaçlar için kullanılır. Sülfoklorlama ile üretilen SAS, bu HERA risk değerlendirmesine dahil değildir.

Sülfoksidasyonla üretilen ikincil alkan sülfonatlar (Platz ve Schimmelschmidt, 1940) esas olarak ev ürünlerinde kullanılır ve düşük bir istenmeyen yan ürün içeriğine sahiptir. Ultraviyole ışık ile ışınlanırken su varlığında n-parafinlerin kükürt dioksit ve oksijen ile reaksiyona sokulmasıyla hazırlanırlar. İkincil

Sülfoksidasyondan elde edilen alkan sülfonatlar (SAS), yakından ilişkili izomerlerin ve ikincil alkan sülfonat sodyum tuzlarının homologlarının bir karışımıdır.

RH + 2 SO2 + O2 + H2O RSO3H + H2SO4

RSO3H + NaOH RSO3Na + H2O

N-parafinlerin endüstriyel sülfoksidasyonu, çok lambalı bir reaktörde gerçekleştirilen su varlığında bir foto-oksidasyondur. Bu işlem herhangi bir katalizör veya çözücü gerektirmez.

Reaksiyon karışımına gaz enjeksiyonu ile bir gaz halinde S02 ve O2 karışımı verilir.

SO2, O2 ve n-parafin karışımı, yüksek basınçlı cıva lambalarının ürettiği UV ışığına maruz kalır. Reaksiyon gazı sirküle edilir ve reaksiyon sıvısı, reaktörün tabanından çıkarılır. Alt katman olan ürün fazı ayrılır ve (tepkimeye girmemiş) parafin fazı olan üst katman soğutulur ve su ile doldurulur.

Reaksiyona girmemiş n-parafinler tekrar reaktöre geri gönderilir.

Ürün fazının düşük basınç altında yoğunlaştırılmasından, sülfürik asidin ayrılmasından ve konsantrenin sodyum hidroksit çözeltisi ile nötrleştirilmesinden sonra, kalan parafinler, süper ısıtılmış buhar ile buhar destilasyonuyla ham üründen çıkarılır. Buhar distilatı tekrar ayrılır ve parafinler geri döndürülür

reaksiyon karışımına. Kalan ürün eriyiği nihayet% 60 veya% 30 SAS içeriğine sahip ticari sulu SAS ürünleri elde etmek için suya dağıtılır

 

 

Batı Avrupa`daki toplam alkan sülfonat üretim kapasitesinin (sülfoklorlama ve sülfoksidasyon proseslerini içeren) 2001 yılında 81.000 ton / yıl olduğu tahmin edilmektedir (CESIO, 2003).

Batı Avrupa`da satışlar ve esir kullanımı 2001 yılında yaklaşık 76.000 ton / yıl`dır (CESIO, 2003). CESIO`ya (2003) göre, 2001 yılındaki 76.000 ton / yılın% 63`ü ev uygulamalarında (48.000 ton / yıl) kullanılmaktadır. Alkan sülfonatlar yoluyla üretilen

ev uygulamalarında sülfoklorlama kullanılmaz. Ev uygulamasına ek olarak, Endüstriyel ve Kurumsal kullanım için% 24 (18.000 ton / yıl) alkan sülfonat nihayetinde kanalizasyona bırakılır. Kalan% 13 (10.000 ton / yıl) alkan

teknik kullanımlara yönelik sülfonat (tekstil, deri, kağıt, polimerler, yapı maddeleri, boya, kaplama, mürekkepler, madencilik, metal işleme, petrol rafinerisi, tarım, gıda ve yem katkı maddeleri vb.) temelde tren dışı uygulamalardır. Bu HERA hedefli Risk Değerlendirmesi için ev kullanımı (HERA kapsamı) ve Endüstriyel ve Kurumsal kullanım -

birlikte 66.000 ton / yıl - nihayetinde kanalizasyona bırakılanlar hesaba katılır.

Ticari SAS`ın çoğu,% 60 veya% 30 aktif bileşen içeren sulu bir çözelti olarak satılmaktadır.

Secondary Alkane Sulfonate (SAS) is an anionic surfactant, also called paraffine

sulfonate. It was synthesized for the first time in 1940 and has been used as surfactant

since the 1960ies. SAS is one of the major anionic surfactants used in the market of

dishwashing, laundry and cleaning products. 

 

 

 

Human Health

The presence of SAS in many commonly used household detergents gives rise to a

variety of possible consumer contact scenarios including direct and indirect skin contact,

inhalation, and oral ingestion derived either from residues deposited on dishes, from

accidental product ingestion, or indirectly from drinking water.

The consumer aggregate exposure from direct and indirect skin contact as well as from

inhalation and from oral route in drinking water and dishware results in an estimated total

body burden of 3.87 µg/kg bw/day.

The toxicological data show that SAS was not genotoxic in vitro or in vivo, did not

induce tumors in rodents after two years daily dosing using both, the oral and dermal

route of exposure, and failed to induce either reproductive toxicity or developmental or

teratogenic effects. The critical adverse effects identified are of local nature mainly due to

the irritating properties of high concentrated SAS.

Comparison of the aggregate consumer exposure to SAS with a systemic NOEL of 180

mg/kg body weigh per day (assuming 90% absorption; adapted from Michael, 1968)

which is based on a chronic feeding study, results in an estimated Margin of Exposure

(MOE) of 46500. This is a very large Margin of Exposure, large enough to account for

the inherent uncertainty and variability of the hazard database and inter species and intra

species extrapolations (which are usually conventionally estimated at a factor of 100).

Neat SAS is an irritant to skin and eyes in rabbits. The irritation potential of aqueous

solutions of SAS depends on concentration. However, well documented human volunteer

studies indicate that SAS up to concentrations of 60% active matter is not a significant

skin irritant in humans. Local effects of hand wash solutions containing SAS do not cause

concern given that SAS is not a contact sensitizer and that the concentrations of SAS in

such solutions are well below 1% and therefore not expected to be irritating to eye or

skin. Laundry pre-treatment tasks, which may translate into brief hand skin contact with

higher concentrations of SAS, may occasionally result in mild irritation easily neutralized

by prompt rinsing of the hands in water. Potential irritation of the respiratory tract is not

a concern given the very low levels of airborne SAS generated as a consequence of

cleaning spray aerosols or laundry powder detergent dust.

In view of the extensive database on toxic effects, the low exposure values calculated and

the resulting large Margin of Exposure described above, it can be concluded that use of

SAS in household laundry and cleaning products raises no safety concerns for the

consumers. 

 

 

Secondary alkane sulfonate (SAS) is an anionic surfactant and was manufactured by

sulfoxidation of n-paraffins already in 1940 (Platz and Schimmelschmidt, 1940). It was

introduced as surfactant in the 1960s. Very good water solubility, high wetting action,

pronounced foaming power, excellent grease- and soil dispersing properties make SAS an

important surfactant ingredient in detergents especially for dish washing (Clariant, 2000).

Several reviews for SAS are available which were used as starting point of this

assessment (Painter, 1992; Vollebregt and Westra, 1998; Vollebregt and Westra, 2000;

Madsen et al, 2001).

In addition a Life-cycle assessment (LCA) for surfactants exists where SAS is covered as

well (Stalmans et al, 1995).

Chemical structure and composition

SAS in the European market is a specific and rather constant mixture of closely related

isomers and homologues generated by sulfoxidation of n-paraffins. SAS contains a

sulfonate group distributed over the n-paraffin chain and mainly located at one of the

secondary C-atoms, as shown below (Clariant, 2000):

m + n = 11-14

Average chain length: C15,9

Average Mol weight 328 g/Mol

 

H3C (CH2) CH

SO3Na

(CH2 m )

n CH3

The linear alkyl chain (linearity > 98%) has typically 14 to 17 carbon units with an

average of 15,9 carbon atoms which corresponds to an average molecular weight of 328

Dalton. The C-chain distribution is given in table 3.1.2

Table 3.1.2: C-chain length distribution

Carbon chain Distribution

< C13 < 2 %

C13 – C15 > 45 %

C16 – C17 < 55 %

> C17 < 4 %

The content of primary alkane sulfonates is < 1 %. The sulfoxidation in the presence of

UV light and water results in a mixture of about 90 % mono- and 10 % disulfonic acids

(Hauthal, 1995), which contribute favourably to the well-balanced application properties.

The paraffin cut used for the sulfoxidation ensures a product characterised by optimum

foaming, wetting, emulsifying, washing and cleaning performance. The chemical

composition guarantees good solubility, strong surfactant properties and high chemical

stability at high and low pH values. The commercial SAS consists of many individual

components (Hauthal, 1995). The present risk assessment adopts a category approach,

i.e., considers the fate and effects of the SAS mixture as described above, rather than of

each isomer and homologue separately. Consequently, calculated values of SAS

properties refer to the average carbon chain length of about 16. 

 

 

 

The typical composition and the appearance of commercial products is given in table

3.1.3 (Clariant, 2000). While SAS obtained from the sulfoxidation, is a waxy residue,

SAS 60 and SAS 30 are aqueous mixtures of SAS.

Boiling point and Vapour pressure

As SAS is a sodium salt, a very high boiling point can be expected and was therefore not

measured. In addition, the vapour pressure of this salt at room temperature is so low that

it could not be experimentally determined; instead, it was estimated for 16C-SAS (see

table 3.1.4, US EPA, 2000a).

Octanol- water partitioning coefficient Kow

The Kow of SAS cannot be measured because of its surface active properties (Boethling

and Mackay, 2000). Instead the Kow was estimated for 8-Hexadecasulfonic acid , sodium

salt (16C-SAS) with the US EPA Property Estimation Program KOWWin (see table

3.1.4, US EPA, 2000b) providing all structural fragments available including the ionic

sulfonate group.

Henry’s Law Constant (HLC)

The estimated HLC of 16C-SAS is very low due to the negligible vapour pressure of

16C-SAS and its high water solubility. Therefore the ionic SAS is not volatile (see table

3.1.4, US EPA, 2000c).

Acid constant pKa and pH

A pKa value for the corresponding acid of SAS and for longchain primary or secondary

alkanesulfonic acids is not available. Instead the pKa of Methanesulfonic acid of – 2,6

(Evans, 2003) determined in DMSO was used to estimate that the longchain

alkanesulfonic acid having +I inductive carbon chain would increase the pKa but would

be most likely still below 0. This means that the SAS-based sulfonic acid is a very strong 

acid and that these sulfonic acids will be completely deprotonated to sulfonates under

environmental conditions. In addition the corresponding bases - the alkanesulfonates - are

very weak bases and therefore aqueous solutions of these salts are neutral as is

demonstrated with the measured pH of a SAS solution

 

 

 Manufacturing Route

Basically, secondary alkane sulfonates (SAS) can be manufactured by sulfoxidation and

sulfochlorination.

The alkane sulfonates produced by sulfochlorination (Reed, 1933) are mainly used for

non-detergent technical purposes as they contain undesirable by-products. SAS

manufactured by sulfochlorination are not covered in this HERA risk assessment.

The secondary alkane sulfonates manufactured by sulfoxidation (Platz and

Schimmelschmidt, 1940) are mainly used in household products and have a low content

of undesirable by-products. They are prepared by reacting n-paraffins with sulfur dioxide

and oxygen in the presence of water whilst irradiating with ultraviolet light. Secondary

Alkane Sulfonates (SAS) obtained from sulfoxidation are a mixture of closely related

isomers and homologues of secondary alkane sulfonate sodium salts.

RH + 2 SO2 + O2 + H2O RSO3H + H2SO4

RSO3H + NaOH RSO3Na + H2O

The industrial sulfoxidation of n-paraffins is a photooxidation in the presence of water

carried out in a multi-lamp reactor. This process does not require any catalyst or solvent.

A gaseous mixture of SO2 and O2 is introduced into the reaction mixture by gas injection. 

The mixture of SO2, O2 and n-paraffins is exposed to UV light produced by high-pressure

mercury lamps. The reaction gas is circulated and the reaction liquid is removed at the

bottom of the reactor. The product phase which is the lower layer is separated and the

upper layer which is the (unreacted) paraffin phase, is cooled and replenished with water.

The unreacted n-paraffins are returned into the reactor again.

After concentration of the product phase under reduced pressure, separation of the

sulphuric acid and neutralization of the concentrate with sodium hydroxide solution, the

remaining paraffins are removed from the raw product by steam destillation with

superheated steam. The steam distillate is again separated and the paraffins are returned

to the reaction mixture. The remaining product melt is finally distributed into water to

achieve commercial aqueous SAS products with 60% or 30% SAS content 

 

 

The total alkane sulfonate production capacity in Western Europe (comprising the

sulfochlorination and sulfoxidation processes) is estimated to be 81.000 tons/year in 2001

(CESIO, 2003).

Sales and captive use in Western Europe accounts for about 76.000 tons/year in 2001

(CESIO, 2003). According to CESIO (2003), 63 % of the 76.000 tons/year in 2001 are

used in household applications (48.000 tons/year). The alkane sulfonates produced via 

sulfochlorination are not used in household applications. In addition to the household

application, 24 % (18.000 tons/year) alkane sulfonate for Industrial & Institutional use is

ultimately released down-the-drain. The remaining 13 % (10.000 tons/year) alkane

sulfonate for technical uses (textile, leather, paper, polymers, constructives, paint,

coating, inks, minery, metalworking, oil refinery, agriculture, food and feed additives

etc.) are basically non-down-the-train applications. For this HERA targeted Risk

Assessment the household use (scope of HERA) and Industrial & Institutional use -

together 66.000 tons/year - ultimately released down-the-drain, are taken into account.

Most of the commercial SAS is sold as an aqueous solution with 60 % or 30 % active

ingredient

investigated. The results of these tests were listed in reviews but mostly without sufficient

details (e.g. DHI, 2001; Painter, 1992; Schoeberl, 1997; Voolebregth and Westra, 1998).

In table 4.1.1.1.1. those biodegradation results were given where sufficient information

was available to differentiate between primary and ultimate biodegradation and to check

the reliability of the results as well. Primary biodegradation (EU, 1999) means

alteration in the chemical structure of a substance, brought about by biological action,

resulting in the loss of specific properties (e.g. for surfactants surface activity and

ecotoxicity). Primary biodegradation of surfactants is often monitored using colorimetric

analytical methods (e.g. MBAS Methylene Blue Active Substances). Ultimate

biodegradation (EU, 1999) is the level of degradation achieved when the test compound

is totally utilised by micro-organisms resulting in the production of carbon dioxide (for

aerobic conditions), water, mineral salt(s) and new microbial cellular constituents

(biomass). Ultimate biodegradation is monitored using analytical methods appropriate for

the test method applied (e.g. removal of Dissolved Organic Carbon (DOC), carbon

dioxide formation etc). Achieving rapid primary biodegradation for surfactants is

required by EU legislation (e.g. EU, 1973; EU, 1982) but only if the surfactant meets the

criteria for ready (ultimate) biodegradability it can be concluded that the chemical will

undergo rapid and ultimate biodegradation in the environment

 

 

The data show that SAS is ultimately biodegradable and meets the OECD criteria for

ready biodegradability. For the following exposure assessment of SAS it is important to

note that several comparative studies exist into the biodegradation kinetics of SAS and

LAS in standard screening tests. They show unequivocally that primary as well as 

ultimate biodegradation of SAS is considerably faster. For instance, MBAS removal in

the OECD Screening Test was about 10% after 5 days for LAS while SAS had already

attained 85% in this time period (Tegewa, 1989). Similarly, the linear part of the CO2

evolution kinetics determined in the CO2 evolution test (OECD 301B) revealed a

mineralisation rate of 6.2%/d for SAS and 3.1%/d for LAS (Clariant, 2004). Finally,

comparative studies of the CO2 evolution from radiolabelled (U-14C) SAS and (ring-14C)

LAS in a 12-day batch test (Lötzsch et al., 1979) underlined again the faster and more

extensive mineralisation of SAS.

The results from the Sewage Treatment Plant Simulation tests show a very high removal.

Hrsak et al (1981) have also demonstrated that SAS loadings varying from ca. 50 to 500

mg/L can be fed in to a simulation test system (OECD Confirmatory Test) without any

effect on the high primary degradation of SAS.

Metabolic Pathway for SAS

Primary n-alkanesulfonates are metabolised to bisulfite and the corresponding aldehyde 

 

 

The metabolic pathway of SAS is not fully investigated. Thysse and Wanders (1974)

isolated an alkane sulfonate hydroxylase which was able to desulfonate n-C12-SAS

forming 2-Dodecanone. Swisher (1987) suggested that the first step in metabolism is the 

formation of a ketobisulfite, which forms the ketone and bisulfite. The ketone may be

further oxidized to an alkylacetate ester. Ester cleavage yields acetate and an alcohol

which is further metabolised via ß-oxidation. Based on this metabolic pathway, the

formation of recalcitrant metabolites is unlikely. This was also proven experimentally in

a special test for the detection of recalcitrant metabolites (Gerike and Jasiak, 1985, 1986).

Biodegradation / Elimination in Continuous Activated Sludge Systems (CAS)

As was shown in table 4.1.1.1.1 SAS is eliminated in Continuous Activated Sludge

Systems to a very high extent. Around of 16% SAS is carried over to activated sewage

sludge (Field et al., 1995, see Chapter 4.1.2 Removal) and ca. 83% of the elimination

determined in CAS Tests can be attributed to biodegradation

Biodegradation and Half-lives of SAS in River water

Schöberl et al. (1998) have measured the primary biodegradation of SAS in river water

using a river simulation model (aquatic stair case model) fed with the effluent of a

Confirmatory Test and flow rate of 1 m/h. The half-life from the primary degradation in

the river simulation model of 0,7 to 0,9 h is in the same order of magnitude as was

measured for LAS in a comparable river simulation model (t1/2 = 2.2 – 4.7 h) (Steber

1997) and in European rivers (1-3 h) (see HERA, 2002b).

As the LAS data are based on measurements in rivers the half-life for SAS in river water

is assumed to be the same and a half-life of 3h is used as realistic worst case.

Anaerobic biodegradation in water

SAS is not biodegraded under strict anaerobic conditions (Field et al., 1995).

4.1.1.2 Biodegradation in Sediment and Soil

Experimental data on the aerobic and anaerobic degradability of SAS in sediment and

soil are not available. However, it is justified to make use of the pertinent comprehensive

information about LAS (HERA, 2002b) for prediction of the biodegradation kinetics of

SAS in sediment and soil. It has been established that primary and ultimate

biodegradation of SAS in standard screening tests is faster compared to LAS (see chapter 

4.1.1.1). Furthermore, it could be shown (Steber & Richterich, 1993) that the

biodegradation of chemicals in screening tests using soil as inoculum is at least as

effective as using a standard (sewage) inoculum. Consequently, it can be conservatively

concluded that the half-life of LAS in aerated soil (t1/2 = 7 d) is also applicable to SAS. In

agreement with the EU Technical Guidance Documents on Risk Assessment for

Chemical substances (EU, 2003a) the half-life of 7d is also being used in the exposure

calculations for aerated sediment.

4.1.1.3 Abiotic Degradation in Air

Due to the very low volatility of SAS degradation in air is not a relevant fate pathway and

therefore is not considered in this assessment.

4.1.1.4 Abiotic Degradation in Water, Sediment and Soil

SAS does not hydrolyse in water, sediment and soil. The molecular structure indicates

that photolysis in surface water and top soil can be neglected as well.

 

4.1.1.5 Volatilisation

Based on the Henry coefficient of SAS (see table 3.1.2) volatilisation is not a relevant

elimination factor.

4.1.1.6 Sorption to soil, sediment and sludge

The sorption behaviour of SAS was determined for 5 Eurosoils and 1 Sediment (Clariant,

2001a) according to the OECD Guideline 106. Sorption to municipal sewage sludge was

determined according ISO Guideline 18749 (Clariant, 2001b). The sorption constants Kd

are shown in table 4.1.1.6. The sorptive effects in the different matrices cannot be

attributed to the organic carbon content alone as is obvious from the ‘calculated Koc’

values (see table 4.1.1.6) which vary considerably. Koc alone is therefore not an adequate

parameter to describe the sorption behaviour of SAS.

municipal Sewage sludge (Clariant, 2001a & 2001b)

4.1.1.7 Bioconcentration

Salts of strong acids like sulfonates are known to be poorly absorbed into living cells

because the charged species are hindered to cross membranes (Boethling & Mackay,

2000). Bioconcentration studies with radiolabelled homologues of the surfactant Linear

Alkylbenzenesulfonate (LAS) gave BCF values allowing calculation of an average BCF=

66 L/kg (HERA, 2002b).

The absorption behaviour of charged species is taken into account by the QSAR

calculation programme BCFWin from US EPA (US EPA, 2000d) which uses different

Kow dependent equations for ionic compounds. As for SAS no measured BCF values are

available a QSAR approach was used and applied to 8-Hexadecansulfonic acid sodium

salt (C16-SAS) (see table 4.1.1.7). 

 

 

SAS is one of the major anionic surfactants used in the market of dishwashing, laundry

and cleaning products. In this respect about 63% of the total SAS volume in Western

Europe is assigned for the use in household applications. Main uses (>80%) are standard

dishwashing liquids (at a typical concentration range of 3% to 29%). Minor uses are

laundry detergents at a typical concentration range of 1% to 15%, household cleaners at a

typical concentration range of 0.2% to 15%. The SAS volumes used for cosmetics hair,

body care products and industrial cleaners are outside the scope of this HERA-Risk

assessment. 

 

 

 

Conclusion

SAS (60% active matter) was tested for systemic toxicity using both, the oral and the

dermal route of exposure. With regard to oral uptake, a chronic feeding study has

demonstrated that concentrations of SAS in the diet up to 0.4% have been tolerated by the

animals without any significant effect. As a first approximation this concentration

corresponds to about 200 mg/kg body weight per day. Even at the highest level of 2% in

the diet (approximately 1000 mg/kg body weight per day) only unspecific effects not

accompanied by any functional or structural changes have been observed. In view of the

results of a 2-year bioassay in rats, dietary concentrations of up to 2% SAS (w/w)

(approximately 1000 mg/kg bw/day) were tolerated without any significant toxicological

side effects (see 5.2.1.7).

Repeated dermal application on mice of SAS solutions as high as 32% (w/v) for 4

respectively 5 weeks, resulted neither in mortality nor any substance related systemic

toxicity. The only changes noted were local skin effects due to irritative properties. SAS

solutions up to 8% (w/v) proved to be without any effects.

HOSTAPUR SAS-60 (60% active), Sodium C14 – 17 Alkyl sec. Sulfonate is an anionic, biodegradable surfactant for the detergent industry.

 

Sodium C14-17 Alkyl Sec Sulfonate. Hostapur SAS 60 by Clariant acts as a detergent base and surfactant. It possesses good wetting properties and high degreasing effect. 

Hostapur SAS 60 finds application in formulating bubble baths, shower gels, shampoos and personal care cleansing products.

 

 

Transportation

The loading temperature ex works for delivery by road tanker is for Hostapur SAS 60 → 70–90 °C.

Although Hostapur SAS 60 is still pumpable at room temperature with the pumps mentioned in section Conveying/mixing, the temperature during transport should not fall below 

65 °C so as to facilitate handling and conveying. The road tankers intended for transporting Hostapur SAS 60 have standard R 3” connections or conventional hose couplings.

 

Storage

Hostapur SAS 60 separates out in storage into two phases, one containing more surfactant than the other. In addition, sodium sulphate can separate out at fairly low temperatures.

 It is therefore necessary to stir or pump round the tank contents constantly and at the same time to maintain a storage temperature of 65–90 °C. If a circulating pump is used, 

entrainment of air must be prevented by suitable design of the return pipe.
