Nitrogen Gas Generator for Oil and Gas Industry of 50 NM3/HR with Purity of 99.9% and working Pressure 5 KG/CM2
A colorless, odorless gas, Nitrogen is a non-hydrocarbon inert gas used for a variety of functions in the drilling, workover and completion phases of oil and gas wells, as well as in pigging and purging pipelines.
Used both in onshore and offshore situations, applications for nitrogen include well stimulation, injection and pressure testing, Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR), reservoir pressure maintenance, nitrogen floods and inert gas lift. Additionally, nitrogen can be used to help prevent flammable gases from igniting. Used to support drilling operations, nitrogen can be utilized for instrument panel inerting, as well as flare gas inerting, and pressure systems purging and testing. Also, nitrogen can be supplied for the engine starters, controls, dry bulk transfer and hoisting systems. Providing a dry air supply, nitrogen can extend the life of some systems, as well as prevent breakdowns.
Nitrogen is an optimal choice to displace well fluids in order to initiate flow and clean wells because of its low density and high pressure characteristics. The high-pressure gas is also used for production stimulation through hydraulic fracturing. Also, nitrogen is used for cementing operations and controlling cement slurry weights.
Nitrogen Blanketing
Nitrogen blanketing also known as tank blanketing and tank padding, is a process that involves the application of nitrogen to a storage container consisting of chemicals and hydrocarbons that are volatile and reactive with oxygen. When a tank is purged with nitrogen, the material inside the tank does not come in contact with the oxygen. Blanketing lets the prolonged life of the product and the potential explosive hazards are diminished.
Purging of Nitrogen
To replace any undesirable or a hazardous atmosphere with an inert dry atmosphere, Nitrogen purging is used i.e. to limit the oxygen content so it does not react with other explosive mixtures and hydrocarbons. Displacement and dilution are the two most common methods of purging. Which method is to be used for which system depends on its geometry. Displacement is more effective for simple systems and dilution is used for complex systems.
To cool down the catalyst in a refinery
At the point when a refinery is to be shut down, it is preferable to minimize the temperature of the catalyst associated with the procedure at the earliest. For this reason, nitrogen, in huge volumes can be driven into the catalyst utilizing a pumping equipment to cool down the catalyst quickly and save shutdown time.
