    The document discusses a surge bladder vessel for potable water. It is approved for use in water supply regulations in England, Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. The bladder vessel uses a rubber bladder to contain water, providing surge pressure control similarly to a compressor vessel but without contact between air and water. It operates automatically by emptying water when pressure decreases and refilling from return waves until reaching balance. Charlatte has manufactured bladder vessels from 8 to 125 cubic meters for over 50 years.

    Bladder Vessels
    A bladder surge vessel has the same purpose with regard to surge control as the traditional
    compressor vessel but the benefits of this design include a simpler means of surge
    pressure control.

    In a similar way to a vessel controlled by compressors, a pre-charge pressure is calculated to


    give the required elasticity to push the water into the system following a pump shut
    down or power cut.
    The major difference being that the liquid is contained within a rubber bladder (compatible
    with drinking water). Therefore, as there is no contact between the compressed air and
    the water there is no dissolution. There is thus no requirement for a permanent control
    system including compressors, etc...

    Once the vessel has been commissioned and the correct precharge has been introduced, the
    vessel will operate automatically emptying when called upon and refilling with the
    return waves until naturally restoring its steady state balance.

    Charlatte have been successfully manufacturing bladder vessels for over 50 years
    from 8 to 125m³.

    Concept of a Bladder Vessel for Raw/Waste Water
    The vessel can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. It consists of a steel vessel
    containing a rubber bladder made from butyl rubber, (suitable for use with drinking
    water) and a flanged connection pipe equipped with anti-extrusion grill.

    The vessels are treated internally with food quality epoxy paint as corrosion protection and
    externally to client specification.

    In order to verify the level in the vessel it is normally equipped with a level indicator
    as well as a manometer to verify the initial precharge pressure.

    If hydraulically required, the vessel will be equipped with a non-return valve with an
    incorporated bypass in order to kill the over pressure by consuming the energy of the flow
    reversal.

    Operation

    The installation of such a surge vessel is very simple, but must be performed with care. If correctly
    done, future checking of the vessel will be very easy.

    1. Initially the precharge pressure must be adjusted to the value resulting from the hydraulic analysis (pre-
    charge can be either compressed air or nitrogen). At this stage the bladder contains no volume at all.

    2. When the gate valve is opened the water will enter the vessel under static conditions, and begin to
    compress the gas (static pressure is always higher than pre-charge pressure).

    3. The water entering the vessel will further compress the pre-charge gas until a balance between the
    liquid and the compressed gas is reached.

    4. Immediately after a pump stop the pressure in the line will start to decrease and the elastic energy in
    the vessel will discharge the water from the vessel into the line. This prevents dangerously low pressure
    conditions along the pipe work.

    5. As the pressure may become very low, the flow will reverse, this will then enter into the vessel via a
    reduced diameter ( drilled non-return valve or bypass) if hydraulically required. Several oscillations
    may occur before a static state is reached.

    6. When the pumping station restarts, the vessel will continue to fill until dynamic steady state is reached
    and it is then once again prepared for the next pump stop.
