Dear all,

Is it a compulsion that a pipe carrying fuel oil returning from the Gas turbine has to discharge Oil back to the storage tanks only from top of the tank?
Can we discharge the oil into the tank from the bottom, using a check valve in the line. If not, why?
Let me clarify that homogenous mixing is not an issue as the tank diameter is 30m and fluid volume is very large.

Regards,
ASA
