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.
