Blenketing is widely used in industries for protection and process safety. Oil is blanketed in the tank to avoid oxidation of the oil, which leads to earlier degradation (very important if the oil is used as a heating utility) of the utility. Nitrogen blanketing is usually triggered by the temperature, for most thermal oil starts to degrade at around 60 deg C.
In the food industry, oil product is used also as a blanket to prevent spoilage and also as a blanket to prevent air infiltrating the tank. Also, positive pressure is kept to avoid any iinfiltration from the outside of the tank.

What is cryogenic vessel?
Vacuum Insulated Cryogenic Storage Tanks and Cold Converter tanks are double walled tanks designed for efficient storage of LOX, LIN, LAR, LNG, LCO and other Cryogenic Liquids. for more information visit: cryogasindia
Why inert gas not required for bunker tanks?
It can, and sometimes is.
Are in sink erator hot water tanks interchangable?
As long as you have the same model.
How do convert 28 liter water tank to LPG liter?
Probably not a very sensible idea. Water tanks are unlikely to be rated for the pressures used for LPG tanks, and LPG, being both flammable and explosive, is not the stuff that you want to play with.
If nitrogen leaks from a pipe will it settle down or will rise up?
Nitrogen is heavier than air, and is an inert gas - it will not burn or explode.In fact nitrogen is used to prevent fires in certain circumstances. Depending on the size of the leak, care must be taken not to inhale as the nitrogen will replace the oxygen thus causing suffocation. Ventilate before entering a building where gas leaks are suspected
Why nitrogen blanketing on naphtha tanks?
Nitrogen blanketing on naphtha tanks helps prevent the naphtha from coming into contact with oxygen, which can lead to oxidation, degradation, and potentially combustible conditions. By filling the empty space in the tank with nitrogen, the risk of fire or explosion due to oxygen exposure is minimized.
Do Methanol tank need nitrogen blanketing?
Yes, methanol tanks often require nitrogen blanketing to prevent the formation of flammable vapors and to protect the contents from oxidation and contamination. Nitrogen helps maintain a stable pressure in the tank and prevents the buildup of potentially hazardous conditions.
What is nitrogen used for in industry?
Nitrogen is used in industry for various purposes such as blanketing to prevent oxidation, purging pipelines and tanks, cryogenic applications, and as an inert gas for packaging and preserving food. It is also used in the production of chemicals and pharmaceuticals.
What is the gas used for hot oil blanket?
Gas blankets over vessels containing hot oil can be either fuel gas or nitrogen blanketed. The blankets should always be vented to flare to reduce discharging hydrocarbons to the atmosphere. Fuel gas cannot be vented to the atmosphere; therefore, nitrogen blanketing is used for large atmospheric pressure storage tanks. For reference: Refinery "fuel gas" is the gaseous product produced when crude oil is refined. It varies in composition from refinery to refinery and may consist of methane, ethane, propane, butane, or any C1-C4 molecule.
Do tanks that fill CO2 also fill nitrogen tanks?
No, they cannot.
Do ions need nitrogen tanks?
Yes, they require High pressure air (nitrogen) tanks. They cannot run off of CO2.
What is in the air tanks that will give you the bends?
Nitrogen.
What part of a oil tanker carries oil?
The oil cargo goes into cargo tanks, the fuel oil or bunker goes into the bunker tanks. The lubrication oil (lube oil) goes into the lube oil tanks.
What Nitrogen is used to protect steel from water because nitrogen has .?
The nitrogen used to protect steel from water is called nitrogen blanketing. This process involves filling the space above the liquid with nitrogen gas to prevent moisture from coming into contact with the steel. This helps to prevent corrosion and rusting of the steel surface.
How does nitrogen control rapid oxygen?
Nitrogen inhibits the combustion process by diluting the oxygen concentration in a closed environment. When nitrogen is introduced to an environment with high oxygen levels, such as in fire prevention systems, it displaces the oxygen and reduces the possibility of combustion. This process is known as nitrogen blanketing or inerting.
Are aluminum paintball nitrogen tanks refillable?
Yes, any nitrogen tank is refillable.
Why are the tanks on oil tankers often filled with nitrogen before they are cleaned?
So that the oil in the oil tanker can spontaneously combust with the nitrates in the nitrogen solution that is added causing a neutralisation reaction which then leads to the positively charged dust particles in the smoke that rises after being heated are attracted to the negatively charged metal plates.
