Hydropneumatic Tanks, Surge Tanks

We have the capacity and experience to successfully deliver large Hydroneumatic and Surge tanks for Water Treatment plants, Waste Water and Municipal applications.

Hydropneumatic Tanks
Hydro-pneumatic tanks are an integral element necessary to the efficient operation of most water supply systems. All South Gate Engineering hydro-pneumatic tanks are built in strict conformance to A.S.M.E. and/or customer specifications. A properly designed and manufactured hydro-pneumatic tank not only provides an adequate quick demand water supply, but also regulates the proper system pressure range and results in the selection of the most efficient pump(s). South Gate Engineering’s ability to paint and line tanks in house, allows for freight savings especially on large tanks.

Surge Tanks
Surge tanks are an integral part in protecting pipelines from high transient surges caused by pump start-ups and shutdowns and rapid valve actuations also known as water hammer. All South Gate Engineering Surge tanks are built in strict conformance to A.S.M.E. and/or customer specifications. Surge Vessels act as a shock absorber eliminating catastrophic failure of pipeline, pumps, valves and system control loss.

South Gate Engineering’s ability to paint and line tanks in house, allows for freight savings especially on large tanks. South Gate Engineering also installs customer supplied bladders after paint and lining to minimize customer labor costs.
