Nitrogen displaces oxygen, retard oxidation, break the “burning triangle,” and prevent explosions. Having a low-oxygen atmosphere is vital for safety.
Why use Nitrogen for OIL & GAS platforms?
Nitrogen generator for OIL & GAS platforms is used in a wide range of areas within the oil and gas industry to prevent fire and explosion hazards. For example, nitrogen is used for headspace flushing of oil tanks in refineries or oil tankers. If oil is removed from the storage tanks, the oil level in the tank drops.
At the same time, the headspace in the oil tank needs to be inverted with Nitrogen and this avoids chemical reactions that can result in fires. To this end, the tanks are flushed and blown out with nitrogen to avoid inflammatory reactions between oil residues and cleaning agents. Gas and oil refineries and tankers have an extensive pipeline network. The unused pipelines are continuously inverted with nitrogen and tested at different pressures. In this way, damage and production losses can be prevented in advance.
Why Use Oxysystems for OIL & GAS platforms?
Oxysystems provide nitrogen generation systems that can deliver a constant feed of high-purity Nitrogen for any scale with variable pressures. Our unique special designs and mobile installation are ideal for offshore deployment including special monitoring and industry-grade equipment.
