Nitrogen Pipeline Purging

Pipeline Purging

Gas purging, a process of displacing one gas by another gas, occurs on a routine basis in the natural gas industry when pipelines are purged into and out of service.

 

Pipeline Purging with nitrogen is used to maintain a dry inert atmosphere to prevent corrosion of cleaned piping and vessels.

 

Gas purging, a process of displacing one gas by another gas, occurs on a routine basis in the natural gas industry when pipelines are purged into and out of service.

 

Refineries, petrochemical plants and marine tankers use nitrogen to purge equipment, tanks and pipelines of dangerous vapours and gases (for example, after completing a pipeline transfer operation or ending a production run) and to maintain an inert and protective atmosphere in tanks storing flammable liquids.

 

 

AirPro Nitrogen Generators have many advantages over traditional nitrogen supplies:

 

  • Safer working environment

 

  • Reduced downtime owing to an on-demand supply

 

  • Cost savings following payback of up to 90%

 

  • Nitrogen at consistent flow, pressure and purity

 

  • Compact space saving design

 

  • Flexible modular design

 

  • Very low cost of ownership

 

  • No need for expensive civil works prior to installation

 

  • Proven reliability

 

  • Operates from a standard factory compressor for even greater energy savings
