Introduction to surge Vessels
Surge vessels are essential components in water treatment systems, specifically designed to protect pipelines and equipment from pressure surges and water hammer effects. These vessels are strategically placed upstream of pumps and downstream of valves to absorb sudden pressure fluctuations, ensuring stable and efficient operation across the entire system.
Purewater Expert designs durable, custom surge vessels in various materials, ensuring long-term performance for water treatment and industrial applications.
Types of Surge Vessels
- Compressor Type Surge Vessel
- Bladder Type Surge Vessel
Product Description
Our surge vessels are designed for minimal maintenance and maximum efficiency. Depending on operational requirements, they are available with or without rubber bladders and are capable of handling pressures up to 25 bar. Their superior construction ensures durability and continuous operation in demanding environments.
Functionality
Surge vessels help regulate pressure within a water transmission system, maintaining a consistent flow while preventing damage caused by sudden pressure spikes. These vessels, when pressurized with compressed air, act as buffers that absorb fluctuations, ensuring smooth water movement through the pipeline.

Frequently Asked Question
A surge vessel is a pressure-regulating device used to control sudden changes in fluid pressure within pipelines. It prevents pressure surges and protects equipment from damage, ensuring stable system performance.
The vessel stores pressurized air or fluid, which is released as needed to balance pressure fluctuations. When excess pressure occurs, the vessel absorbs the shock, preventing system failures and ensuring smooth operation
Surge vessels are mainly categorized into bladder-type and compressor-type variants. Each type is designed to handle specific pressure regulation needs
They safeguard pipelines and pumping systems from water hammer effects, which can cause significant damage and operational downtime
Sizing depends on various factors, including flow rate, system pressure, and expected pressure surges. Our experts at Purewater Expert can assist in selecting the optimal vessel for your needs.
