Abstract
A method of manufacturing a composite vessel assembly () includes the steps of filling a first chamber defined by a first liner () with a first granulated material () through a first orifice () in the first liner. A vacuum is then applied to the first chamber, and the first orifice is plugged. The first liner may then be enveloped with a first layer () for structural rigidity followed by relief of the vacuum.
