Bladder Sewage Surge Tanks (BSST)

An important concern for sewage tanks is that the mixture of solid and liquid wastes that flow through them can clog the system. Young Engineering’s patented Bladder Sewage Surge Tank (BSST) system combines our patented high flow design with a perforated tank nozzle to pass sewage solids through the Bladder Sewage Surge Tank with no clogging.

The PVC nozzle pipe runs full length to the bottom of the Bladder Sewage Surge Tank where waste solids are easily extruded through the nozzle’s drainage slots at the bottom.. Pre-charge pressure and the fluctuating movement of the bladder helps move the solid waste through the slots and then into the discharge pipes.

A fluid connection at the top of the Bladder Sewage Surge Tank allows flushing or cleaning of accumulated solid debris in the nozzle pipe, as needed.

Air compressors must constantly maintain air levels in bladderless surge tanks. They can be noisy; and require higher maintenance, regulating equipment to manage them, and electrical power, resulting in higher operating costs. Our Bladder Sewage Surge Tanks are self-contained units that do not require air compressors.
