Flexible bladder for a foam-filled bladder tank

A foam-filled bladder tank is a type of firefighting equipment used to store and dispense
fire-suppressing foam concentrate in emergencies. Here are some key points about
foam-filled bladder tanks:
Bladder Tank Design: Foam-filled bladder tanks consist of a cylindrical or rectangular tank
that is usually made of stainless steel. Inside the tank, there is a flexible bladder made of
Buna-N rubber or similar material. This bladder separates the foam concentrate from the
water in the tank.
Foam Concentrate: The bladder tank stores a specific type of foam concentrate, such as
AFFF (Aqueous Film-Forming Foam) or AR-AFFF (Alcohol-Resistant Aqueous Film-Forming
Foam). These foams are used to suppress various types of fires, including those involving
flammable liquids and hydrocarbons.
Water Inlet: The bladder tank is connected to a water supply, and water is typically kept in
the space between the tank and the bladder. This water acts as a cushion to provide
pressure to push the foam concentrate out of the bladder.
Bladder Function: The bladder within the tank holds the foam concentrate until it's needed.
When a fire breaks out and the system is activated, the water pressure forces the bladder to
collapse, which in turn pushes the foam concentrate out into the firefighting system.
Activation: Foam-filled bladder tanks are usually linked to a fire suppression system, such as
a deluge system or a sprinkler system. When a fire is detected, the control system releases
the foam concentrate, which is then mixed with the water and dispensed through nozzles to
suppress the fire.
Application: Foam-filled bladder tanks are commonly used in industrial settings, such as
chemical plants, fuel storage facilities, airports, and warehouses, where there is a higher risk
of fires involving flammable liquids or hydrocarbons.
Flexible bladder for a Surge tank

A surge tank, also known as a surge vessel or surge drum, is a device used in various
industries to control and manage pressure fluctuations and surges within a fluid system.
Here are some key points about surge tanks/Flexible bladder:
Tank Design: A surge tank typically consists of a flexible bladder or membrane that is
enclosed within a rigid shell. The bladder is made from durable Rubber coated fabric and it
separates the liquid (or gas) within the tank from the external atmosphere. The rigid shell
provides structural support and protection to the bladder.
Bladder Function: A flexible bladder inside the surge tank is used to absorb and mitigate
pressure variations, often caused by sudden changes in fluid flow or system dynamics. By
doing so, it helps to maintain a more stable and consistent pressure in the system.
Applications: Water Distribution, Oil and Gas Industry & Industrial Processes.
Benefits: Prevents Water Hammer, which can lead to pipe damage and leaks.

Unirub flexible Bladder tanks are custom-engineered to suit the fluid pressure and the
properties of the surrounding fluid media. Typically, these flexible tanks are Manufactured
from a robust polyamide fabric coated with high-strength Nitrile (Buna-N), Butyl, Neoprene
and Hypalon rubber. The flexible bladder can be tailored to align with the specific vessel
design provided by the customer.
