The surge flow is needed, together with the surge event duration, together with the minimum receiver pressure to be sustained during the surge. Everything then drops out of a first order decay calculation; the time constant for the decay is the receiver size divided by the surge flowrate. Add a bit of size to make sure, and then make sure it fits the location.
