HEMISPHERICAL VAPOR BLADDER / GAS COLLECTION DIAPHRAGM

Mesa's vapor and gas collection bladders are used to produce a predictable gas flow to either a combustion or recovery unit. First primarily used in gasoline distribution terminals, these holders are instrumental in providing a reliable, consistent flow of gas vapors to burners/recovery units. Vapor holders allow terminals to use a smaller burner/recovery unit by providing the capacity to store gasses during peak operating times. Vapor bladders and gas collection systems are commonly used in waste water treatment facilities to collect Methane vapors. These vapors are used to power an engine that assists in producing energy for the plant.

Mesa's vapor and gas collection bladders are suitable for 100% aromatic hydrocarbon, bio-gas, nitrogen and many other gases. They are generally manufactured using Mesa 6036.045FCAS. Other materials are available for specific corrosive chemical and high temperature applications

Hemispherical Vapor Bladder

• The simple and efficient Hemispherical Bladder is
  secured to an attachment bar around the tank wall.
  Bladder contains a dollar plate to maintain position.
• MesaThane material ensures vapor compatibility
  and hydrolytic stability on both sides of the Bladder
  (Other materials available for custom applications).
• Easily installed using a minimum of operational
  components and installation labor.

Vapor Bladder Benefits

• Eliminates the need for large scale vapor processing,
  which requires additional costs and power consumption.
• Evens the flow of vapors in the system to provide reliable
  surge suppression and reduce stress on equipment.
• Allows the facility to regulate vapor storage to continually
  operate and meet any processing time restrictions.
• Can reduce the need for assist gasses to maintain burner.
• Proven service life (under normal operating procedures)
  of over 10 years in applications including gasoline, ethanol, MTBE, pure Benzene, Toluene and other products
