What is a Gas Holder Balloon?

A gas holder balloon is a flexible gas storage vessel used to temporarily store, collect or buffer gases generated or used in industrial processes.

Unlike rigid gas storage tanks, flexible gas holders provide a lightweight and adaptable storage solution that can be manufactured in different dimensions and storage capacities. They are particularly useful where flexible, customized or temporary gas storage is required.

Enviroguard Gas Holder Balloons can be engineered with gas-specific inner coatings and protective outer coatings depending on the gas composition and operating environment.

High-Performance Construction

The gas holder balloon is manufactured using a high-tenacity polyamide fabric reinforcement, providing the required mechanical strength and dimensional stability.

Inner Coating

The inner surface can be coated with Nitrile Rubber (NBR) or another application-specific polymer selected according to gas composition and service requirements.

Outer Protection

CSM / Hypalon-type elastomeric coating options can provide resistance to weathering, abrasion, ozone, UV exposure and outdoor environmental conditions.

PVC Construction

PVC-based construction can also be provided where gas composition and operating conditions permit its use.

Gas Compatibility

Material selection is an important consideration when storing industrial and process gases. Compatibility depends on gas composition, concentration, purity, moisture content, operating temperature, operating pressure, exposure duration and polymer formulation.
