Nitrogen Generator Used for Blanketing Application

Tank blanketing, also know as "padding", is the process of injecting an inert gas into a storage container to protect the contents of the container.

Because of its stable, inert, non-combustible properties, Nitrogen is the most common gas used in blanketing. Typical Nitrogen gas applications for blanketing are prevention of oxidization of cooking oils, which can change the flavor, aroma and color of the oil; to prepare products for transport; for final packaging of food products and, under pressure, to prevent contaminants from entering storage spaces.

Nitrogen also has a prominent safety benefit when working with combustible products. Reduction of oxygen levels in vapor space reduces the chances of explosions and fire, since fuels require oxygen to combust.

Because of its ready availability, Nitrogen is an economical choice for blanketing, especially when it is generated on site using a Nitrogen Generator. Companies that have been purchasing from a gas supplier via a contract or bottles, can realize significant savings by switching to a Nitrogen Gas Generator.

PSA Nitrogen generators are sized appropriately to meet Nitrogen purity and PSIG flow requirements, and are designed to work reliably for 20 years or longer.
