SCUBA TANK FILLING AND STORAGE
Tank R ack s , Fill B aths & D ive Resource C enters
Brownie’s designs, builds and installs a variety of
scuba tank storage and filling stations to meet
almost any need. From the most basic tank racks
intended solely to eliminate rolling on deck to the
most elaborate dive support stations equipped
with integrated flat screen monitors and fill whips,
we have a solution to make diving easier and more
efficient onboard. As with Brownie’s other custom
designed systems, a representative will assess each
customer’s diving needs and available space to
ensure a unique, attractive and functional product.
Some examples of available options are fill baths,
vertical and horizontal storage bays, repair benches,
equipment rinse sinks and fill controls.

HIGH PRESSURE STORAGE/CASCADE SYSTEMS
High P ressure Tank Storage
Brownie’s designs storage systems for air, oxygen,
nitrox, helium or any other specialized gas needed
on your vessel. Valves, regulators, plumbing and
rack construction requirements are all taken into
consideration at the earliest stages of the process. The
result is a system integrated into your vessel.
Storing large volumes of air, nitrox or other gas allows
you to fill your scuba or firefighting scba tanks much
more quickly and efficiently than filling directly from
the compressor. For instance, filling 4 standard scuba
tanks on our YP55 system would take approximately 52
minutes. By contrast, filling the same 4 cylinders from
a cascade system would take less than 5 minutes. This is
especially important for firefighting considerations.
