Blanketing for chemical industry
When storing highly volatile substances, safety is of high importance. Blanketing with nitrogen is a safe and dependable method for constantly maintaining a protective layer of gas on top of the substance. Humid air in the head space is replaced by high-purity, inert and compeletely dry nitrogen. A precise valve control system ensures that as the tank is filled or emptied, the nitrogen content is automatically compensated to maintain the protective blanket. The results are safety, reliability and protection from degradation through oxidation.
For vessels often used in batch processes, characterized by cyclic filling and emptying, we have developed special inert gas sluices which prevent the entry of oxygen effectively.
Blanketing for food industry
When storing food products that tend to oxidize, quality is highly important. Blanketing with nitrogen is a safe and dependable method for constantly maintaining a protective layer of gas on top of the product. Air in the head space is replaced by high purity inert nitrogen. A precise valve control system ensures that as the tank is filled or emptied, the nitrogen content is automatically compensated to maintain the protective blanket. The result is high-quality protection from degradation through oxidation.
For vessels often used in batch processes, characterized by cyclic filling and emptying, we have developed special inert gas sluices which prevent the entry of oxygen effectively.
In line with the worldwide trend towards the replacement of harsh physical/chemical preservative methods with less severe alternatives, the food industry is increasingly relying on nitrogen to resolve the oxidation challenge.
