Abstract:
Disclosed is an absorber system for absorbing pressure shocks and fluid volume shocks in a fluid system. In particular, the absorber system includes a housing with a joint for insertion within a fluid system, wherein the housing interior is in fluid communication with fluid in the fluid system. As such, when a pressure and/or fluid volume shock is developed within the fluid system, fluid is forced into the housing via the joint. A membrane is disposed within the housing in such a way that the fluid impacts the membrane which, in response, flexes to absorb and control the pressure and/or fluid volume shock within the fluid system. The absorber system, thus, controls pressure and/or fluid volume shock within a system and can prevent water hammer and other problems which can result from the development of pressure and/or fluid volume shock.
Abstract:
One or more techniques and/or systems are disclosed for a tank assembly that provides antimicrobial protection to inhibit microbial growth in the interior of the tank body. The tank assembly can comprise a body with a side wall and one or more end walls. An antimicrobial liner can be disposed in the interior of the tank body to cover interior surfaces of the side wall and end wall(s). The antimicrobial liner can comprise an effective amount of an antimicrobial agent to inhibit growth of microbes in the interior of the tank body. In this way, the operation life of the tank assembly may be improved, and problems associated with biofilm fouling may be mitigated.

Abstract:
A fluid tank includes polymeric liner comprising an upper wall and a lower wall. The upper wall and the lower wall define a cavity therebetween. A weld joint joins the upper and lower walls together. A method for assembling a fluid tank includes overlapping surfaces of an upper wall and a lower wall to form a liner defining a cavity. The method includes joining the surface of the upper wall and the surface of the lower wall together by welding to form a weld joint between the upper wall and the lower wall. The method can include cooling the weld joint to control warpage of the liner at the weld joint.
