Bladder Surge Tanks
Our patented Bladder Surge Tanks protect pipelines from hydraulic transients through a contained bladder system that absorbs pressure surges. These systems maintain 100% fluid containment while responding continuously to flow changes, offering space-efficient protection for oil terminals, water systems, and industrial facilities. Available in carbon steel or stainless steel with capacities from 10 to 40,000 gallons.
Pulsation Dampeners
Engineered pulsation dampeners control pressure fluctuations in fluid systems through gas-charged bladder technology. These systems protect piping infrastructure from damaging hydraulic shocks in defense applications, including submarine systems and naval fire protection installations. Custom configurations meet ASME and NAVSEA certification requirements for critical military operations.
Mining Surge Protection
Specialized surge arrestors for mining applications prevent pipeline damage from pump trips and reverse flow events. Our Bladder Surge Arrestors (BSA) protect dewatering systems in deep mines with pressure ratings up to 760psig and abrasion-resistant bladder materials. Available in standard sizes from 25-120 gallons or custom configurations for specific mining operations.
Fire Protection Systems
Fire system surge suppressors control thermal expansion effects in wet sprinkler systems through bladder technology that absorbs pressure transients. These systems protect fire protection piping from damage while maintaining system readiness. Available in configurations compatible with glycol and glycerin-based fire suppression systems.
Water Infrastructure Protection
Pipeline protection solutions for water and wastewater systems manage hydraulic transients caused by flow changes. Our Bladder Surge Tanks provide energy absorption functionality that maintains system integrity while reducing maintenance requirements. Systems incorporate corrosion-resistant materials and meet ASME standards for municipal infrastructure applications.
Questions
What causes hydraulic transients in pipelines?
Hydraulic transients occur from sudden flow changes during valve closures, pump startups/shutdowns, or power failures. These events create pressure waves that can damage piping systems if not properly controlled.
How do your Bladder Surge Tanks differ from traditional relief valves?
Our BST technology proactively absorbs pressure surges through contained bladder systems, unlike reactive relief valves that discharge fluid. This provides continuous protection without fluid loss or environmental contamination.
Can your systems handle extreme operating conditions?
Yes. Our equipment operates in environments from Arctic climates to desert conditions, with pressure ratings up to 760psig and materials selected for specific fluid compatibility requirements.
What defense applications do you support?
We supply NAVSEA/SUBSAFE qualified systems for submarine missile systems, shipboard reverse osmosis units, and naval air station fire protection systems, including installations on Columbia-class and Virginia-class submarines.
How do you ensure product quality?
All products meet ASME Section VIII, Division 1 standards with NAVSEA/SUBSAFE certifications for defense applications. We perform material testing, bladder integrity checks, and performance validation during manufacturing.
