Why use Nitrogen in petrochemical and chemical industry?

The inert gas properties of Nitrogen makes it a must have for the chemical and petrochemical industry. Nitrogen is also beneficial for the following reasons:

Nitrogen helps prevent explosions by keeping hydrocarbons and chemicals liquids from reacting to oxygen during transportation and storage.
Nitrogen can be used as a substitute when hydrostatic testing cannot be used.
Nitrogen allows faster cooling of the process catalysts saving you hours of shutdown time.
Nitrogen foam inerting makes it possible to carry out hot work on hydrocarbon handling systems in complete safety.
Nitrogen reduce the weight of fluid in the wellbore, allowing the well to flow.

What are the main advantages of generating Nitrogen onsite?

Many petrochemical & chemical projects are based in remote locations and transporting nitrogen to these locations comes at a huge financial and environmental cost. Opting for onsite nitrogen generation will therefore allow you to save costs whilst ensuring that your brand remains ethical.
