Appendix E – Problem 6
E.6 As described in Chapter 5, surge tanks are used for protecting pipeline systems from both extreme high and low surge pressures. Though open surge tanks are relatively maintenance-free, maintenance-intensive closed surge tanks are often used for protecting drinking water pipeline systems. List some of the scenarios that dictate the use of closed surge tanks in place of open surge tanks and explain the maintenance needs associated with closed surge tanks.
