A surge tank is an H2S service pressurized vessel for the storage of hydrocarbons after separation. Most tanks have a working pressure of 50 psi. Surge tanks are used to measure liquid flow rate and the combined shrinkage and meter factor. They are also used as a second stage separator, and hold a constant back-pressure by using an automatic pressure control valve on the gas outlet. Surge tanks are also used for storage.
Some tanks are split vertically giving two 50 bbl compartments. Others are a single 100 bbl tank. The tank should be fitted with high and low level alarms to prevent spillage
