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.

Name 5 sources of heat energy?

Fossil fuels - coal, oil, natural gas. Biomass (including wood and charcoal). Nuclear power. Solar power. Geothermal power(volcanosVolcanoes, hot springs and geysers are sources of geothermal energy - energy from the interior of the earth. The thermal energy from these events can produce hot water or steam, which can be then piped to a power plant at the surface. This can be used to run turbines which produce electrical energy. HRD (hot, dry rock) can be used as another technique to generate thermal energy. (Water is pumped into cracks in the earth's crust. It returns to the surface as steam, which can be used to generate electricity).


What is the difference between oil rig and petroleum eng?

An oil rig is a structure used for drilling and extracting oil and gas from beneath the Earth's surface, typically located offshore or on land. Petroleum engineering, on the other hand, is a field of engineering focused on the exploration, extraction, and production of oil and gas resources. While oil rigs are the physical sites where extraction occurs, petroleum engineers are responsible for designing and optimizing the processes and technologies used in oil and gas production.
