Baffles help to minimise the sloshing or surge of the liquid during transport, which can be caused by sudden starts, stops, or turns.
Tanks built with baffles provide added flexibility when loading heavy or high density chemicals or filling smaller, customer demanded, payloads.
They can be loaded in the range between 20 percent and 80 percent filling degree and still ensure compliance with all transport regulations, the tank lessor says. The precise minimum fill percentage will depend on the product.
