Nitrogen used in Application Blanketing, Transport, Pharmaceutical and Chemical industry
Nitrogen is used in many industries, either in the production process itself or for the handling and storage of goods. This gas can be used either to protect the environment from the product or vice-versa. It is also utilised in applications such as soldering and moulding for increased effectiveness.
🏮 Blanketing
Tank Blanketing refers to applying a cover of nitrogen gas over the surface of a stocked commodity to protect or contain the stored product or prevent it from causing harm.
✔️ Reduces ignition potential
✔️ Prevents oxidation or contamination of the product by reducing its exposure to
🏮 Transport
Nitrogen blanketing is used for protection during the transport of flammable and oxidising products.
🏮 Pharmaceutical industry
Nitrogen is used for inserting flammable products, and on the other hand, to protect fragile products against oxidation and humidity.
🏮 Chemical industry
Applications include blanketing for storage, the regeneration of purification beds, the preparation of catalysts, and the transport of polymer powders. Nitrogen also serves as a medium for the exhaust of heat in fluid bed reactors and to control the temperature in reactors.
