Nitrogen Blanketing System
Altair Offers complete assembled nitrogen blanketing system with cylinder bank, pressure reducing station, safety devices such as breather valves, relief valves, flame arrestors etc. for tanks, generators, gas modules etc. Nitrogen Blanketing is the process of applying nitrogen gas a low pressure to the empty space in a storage container. The term storage container here refers to any container that is used to store products, regardless of its size. Though Nitrogen blanketing is used for a variety of reasons, it typically involves using a nitrogen gas to protect products inside the storage container. A few of the benefits of blanketing include a longer life of the product in the container, reduced hazards, and longer equipment life cycles. When considering the application for combustible products, the greatest benefit is process safety. Since fuels require oxygen to combust, reduced oxygen content in the vapor space lowers the risk of unwanted combustion. Blanketing is also used to keep contaminants out of a storage space. This is accomplished by creating positive pressure inside the container. This positive pressure ensures that if a leak should occur, the gas will leak out rather than having the contaminants infiltrate the container. Email:
