Dear Folks,

 

I have calculated quantity of nitrogen required for a tank blanketing using annex F of API 2000 and obtained about 500 m3/h for a tank with a net capacity of 5000m3
Please I  need an advise on the supply source of the nitrogen whether to be in racks, bottles or to have a portable nitrogen generation system for this purpose?
if it has to be in racks, how many quantities of racks will be enough to deliver the nitrogen flowrate?

Thanks
Godwin

Hi,

Check for Nitrogen generator, you may not need high purity N2 for blanketing your system.

If you go for generator, think about your need for an air compressor oil free, upon your application.

Same for spare in case of maintenance of the unit.

Definitely call your local supplier of N2 for other possibility. 

It could be a blend of Air and N2 depending on the requirement.

Good luck
