Young Engineering & Manufacturing

The mining industry on a global basis is coming under scrutiny for increasing safety and efficiency while reducing costs. In regards to mine dewatering, improving employee safety without compromising operations has become a big concern. Traditional mine dewatering systems use relief valve skids to protect the pump system at the bottom of the mine from substantial damage due to a hydraulic transient events.

Breaks or ruptures in the pipelines can dramatically cut off an area's water supply and often becomes a major news event seen on Television and the Internet. As the demand for clean water grows, an accompanying demand for the handling and treatment of water, wastewater and sewage also increases.

With the challenges of reduced resources in funding, materials, and possibly personnel, state, county, city, and municipal water districts are faced with finding ways to keep the water and wastewater facilities' pipelines flowing with uninterrupted service.Young Engineering provides owners and operators with patented Bladder Surge Tank (BST) technology.

Surge Suppressors (BSA), Bladder Expansion Tanks (BET) and Bladder Surge Tanks (BST) are designed specifically for fire protection systems, and are UL and FM approved. Providing Surge Suppressors for control of hydraulic transients within fire circuits, Young Engineering is a leader in the fire surge control industry.
