A process for lining an existing pipeline or conduit with a flexible resin impregnated
cured in place liner by pulling in the liner and inflating an eversion bladder
with air and curing the liner with flow-through steam without loss of pressure
is provided. The bladder is stored in a pressure bladder canister coupled to a
pressurized downtube and eversion elbow. The bladder is everted by introducing
pressurized air into the canister As the bladder reaches the distal manhole, it
enters a receiving canister where it is punctured while maintaining air pressure
within the bladder a pinch valve between the downtube and elbow isolates the inverted
bladder so that steam can be introduced into the bladder to cure the resin and
exhaust through the receiving canister. The bladder is then removed and lateral
service reinstated.
