Air Receiver Vessels

Both vertical and horizontal air receivers are available to support compressed air systems in commercial and industrial environments. These vessels are constructed to meet established code requirements and labeled accordingly. Registration through the National Board provides traceability and broad approval for use.

Hot Water Storage Vessels

MWT has produced hot water storage vessels for decades, supporting domestic and commercial heating systems. Options include vertical and horizontal configurations, each built to recognized pressure vessel standards. The design approach focuses on stable performance, consistent output, and long term reliability.

Hydropneumatic Vessels

Hydropneumatic vessels are used in systems that require controlled water and air management. Interior protection options are available for cold water environments, supporting dependable service and extended lifespan. These vessels are commonly used in municipal, commercial, and industrial applications.

Specialized Vessel Types

MWT also manufactures vessels for more specialized needs, including:

  • Sprinkler system storage vessels
  • Boiler blowdown vessels
  • Chilled water buffer vessels
  • Sandblast pots

Each is built in accordance with applicable pressure vessel requirements and supported by consistent manufacturing practices.

Project Support and Coordination

From initial inquiry through delivery, MWT assists customers with reviewing system needs, selecting the appropriate vessel type, and coordinating project details. Drawings and reference materials are available to support planning and ensure the vessel integrates smoothly into the final system.
