Water pipeline surge vessels
Water pipeline surge vessels
(OP)
I am about to get involved with the design or specification for a surge system.
First of course we will submit the system operating details and layouts to a specialist company.
However, what I would like to know more about is the design and construction for the surge vessels including the compressed air charging system.
We are pumping drinking water so materials have to be to the drinking water standards.
Are there any reports or texts explaining how this type of surge system works?
We are pumping 310 MLD
Many thanks,
John

Surge is a curious thing that is very system dependant. First do the analysis then work out what is required.
Systems which prevent it in the first place are far better than mitigation measures after the event.
Remember - More details = better answers
