Back from vacation... I'll clear up a few things.
Also, is your storage tank only 10-feet tall? Sounds odd for a 2 mg tank.
We typically use porta-basin type tanks for the oil/gas industry. It's an above ground storage tank, 10 feet high. There are two tanks which will hold 25,000 bbl, or...
Question - I am in the process of developing/designing a water withdrawal and intake system for a natural gas drilling company. Here is the basic system setup: I currently have the system set up with an intake placed in a stream, below the water surface (elev = 988') and the pump is placed...
Thanks CVG - I looked through most of those threads and didn't really see what I was looking for.
Thanks for the link - I'll scour them one more time.

BIMR - We do have a siphon. We are not drawing from a bottom inlet. Our inlet is at the bottom of the impoundment. We need to go UP over the berm, then back down hill.
I'm simply looking for some information about using one line, instead of two to pump and sihpon. I'll check around elsewhere...
The impoundment we have designed is 35 feet deep. There are no major grade changes in the profile. It is pretty much a continuous grade from the impoundment to the outlet.
Top of berm is 1220'
Bottom of impoundment is 1185'
Outlet at siphon is 820'

Anyone have any experience with the design of a waterline used to pump to AND siphon from and large water storage impoundment?
I have a client who only wants to use only line for both purposes, obviously not at the same time. For air release valves for pumping, I have spec'd manual ball valves...
Makes sense, Steve. I'm likely to stay away from any automatic valves, just because of the remote locations, and maintanence headaches.
Where are you working PA? We have marcellus work in Susuqehanna and Clearfield counties right now.

Thanks, bimr. I'll check them out.
BTW, we are moving fresh water from streams to impoundments for shale gas development and will have some sections buried and other above ground. Sections above ground are going to be drained in the winter, but the client wishes to do this automatically. These...
Does anyone know of a relief valve that has the ability to drain the portion of pipe above the check valve?
I have a client who wishes to do this. His idea is when the check valve closes, a smaller separate valve will open (automatically) and release the water contained in the pipeline above...
