NITROGEN GENERATOR FOR OIL & GAS INDUSTRY
Posted on : 22/Dec/2023 | By
Nitrogen Gas Generator for Oil and Gas Industry of 75 NM3/HR with Purity of 99.9% and working Pressure 6 KG/CM2
Gaztron Engineering designer, manufacturer and exporter of Nitrogen Gas Generator is commonly used in the oil & gas industry and applications include well stimulation, injection and pressure testing. In some of Enhanced Oil Recovery projects, nitrogen can also be used to flood marginal fields, more commonly using water flooding or chemical/surfactant flooding. The purity need of the used nitrogen depend on field requirements and most importantly, eliminates the risk of explosions and fire. In the oil industry, Nitrogen is commonly used in high volumes and at higher pressures, at a minimum of 95% purity, for pipeline pigging to keep the lines clear, and for well injection to push product to the wellhead for extraction. Low pressure applications include purging of pipelines to maintain an inert atmosphere during maintenance, purging of controls, flare gas inerting, and most commonly blanketing gas or storage tanks.
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.
