|
Gas Application |
Gases Used |
|
|
|
|
Blanketing:
The use of gas to maintain an inert atmosphere above a liquid or powdered
product inside a storage tank, silo, reactor, process equipment or other
vessel. The inert gas will help prevent product degradation from moisture and
oxygen, control volatile emissions and safeguard against fires and explosions. |
Carbon
Dioxide
Nitrogen |
|
|
|
|
pH Control:
The use of carbon dioxide to control the pH levels of alkaline wastewater,
cooling water, drinking water, and industrial process water systems. Carbon
dioxide, a mildly acidic gas, will lower the pH of alkaline effluents without
the storage, handling and safety problems associated with strongly acidic
chemicals, such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid. |
Carbon Dioxide
|
|
|
|
|
Pipe Freezing:
The use of liquid gases to freeze a section of a pipeline to permit performing
work such as valve repairs, the addition of tees or tap offs, or the extension
of existing pipelines without draining the entire piping system of its
contents. The pipelines containing liquids which freeze at the liquid gas
temperature, such as water, glycol, and some oils can be handled by the
process. |
Liquid
Carbon Dioxide
Liquid Nitrogen |
|
|
|
|
Pressure and Leak
Testing:
The use of inert gas to pressurize new, repaired, or modified tanks, pipelines,
vessels, and process equipment in order to check their integrity and leak
tightness. Dry, inert gases will not contaminate the system with moisture,
lubricants or oxygen as will pressure testing with compressed air or water. |
Carbon
Dioxide
Helium
Nitrogen |
|
|
|
|
Purging:
The use of inert gas to displace air, flammable vapors, and contaminants from
storage tanks, pipelines, process equipment, railcars, ocean bound containers,
or other vessels. |
Carbon
Dioxide
Nitrogen |
|
Sparging:
The use of Nitrogen reduces the concentration of dissolved gas (usually oxygen)
in a liquid. Sparging is generally used in conjunction with blanketing. |
