Nitrogen gas is most commonly used within the chemicals industry during the inertization, sweeping and blanket procedures of flammable and explosive chemicals by preventing their contact with air or oxygen.

Blanketing
During tank blanketing, nitrogen is frequently used to reduce the risk of burning highly flammable materials, to prevent the oxidation of the materials that are stored and to eliminate product losses which occur as a result of vaporization. Moreover, it is also used to protect the chemicals from other factors coming from the air such as humidity and particles and to prevent the harmful vapor from spreading into the atmosphere air that we breathe.

Transfer
High pressure nitrogen gas is used to transfer chemical products from one tank to another tank in a safe manner.

Sweeping
Nitrogen is used to remove atmosphere residue oxygen and humidity found in procedure areas such as tanks, silos and pipelines in a safe manner. Sweeping procedure protects procedure areas from contamination and chemical reactions.

Production
Practices such as drying and mixing processes which cause oxidation reactions in chemical production areas can be taken under control with an atmosphere comprised of nitrogen.

Cooling
Reactors can be cooled with nitrogen in a rapid manner in order to control the reactions and to guarantee product quality. Moreover, the nitrogen used here can be reused in the system.
