Two-Way Surge Tank
A fully mechanical, power-free surge tank that controls negative pressures using atmospheric air.
Simple. Reliable. Power-Free Protection.
Two Way Surge Tanks offer a fully mechanical solution for surge protection, effectively controlling negative pressures in pipeline systems using atmospheric air—making them highly reliable and energy-independent.
Performance Overview
- Protects pipelines from vacuum conditions during pump failure
- Utilizes atmospheric air for surge mitigation
- Discharges stored water to stabilize system pressure
- Ideal for systems with high risk of negative pressure
Design Criteria & Sizing Philosophy
The tank volume is determined using Stephenson’s Formula, based on:
- Pipeline profile and hydraulic conditions
- Expected negative pressure scenarios
- Required water volume to prevent vacuum formation
The system is typically integrated with air vessels or bladder vessels to provide comprehensive surge protection.
System Characteristics
- Fully mechanical operation (no instrumentation required)
- Dependent on air valves, NRVs, and isolation valves
- Self-operating during transient conditions
Material of Construction
- SA 516 Gr. 60/70
IS 2062 E-250
- Custom materials as per project requirements
Key Advantages
- No power requirement (energy-independent)
- Zero running cost
- Simple installation and operation
- No compressors or auxiliary systems
- High reliability due to mechanical simplicity
