Report Description
Purging is a process to remove the physical contents (such as hydrocarbon materials,
gases, moisture content etc.) present in pipings, tubes & containers used in various
operating processes such as welding, air conditioning, refining processes, sterilizers etc.
The advantages of this process are internal surface cleaning in an efficient manner and
removal of chemical residues in solid, liquid and gaseous forms. Amongst the purging
systems, Nitrogen based purging is the most commonly used type. The process is used for
the fact that Nitrogen being an inert gas completely removes impurities inside the pipings
and tubes to prevent any form of scaling & corrosion which is caused by oxidation or
other chemical reactions within the linings and surfaces of the tubular body. One of the
major purpose of Nitrogen Purging is to check and remove the oxygen content which can
produce a volatile or an explosive product upon reaction with hydrocarbons. During the
initial phase, the process is also labeled as “Start Up Purging” or Oxygen Freeing”,
whereas during the completion of process it is termed as “Shutdown Purging” or
“Degassing”. Nitrogen purging is done via two types i.e. by purging in its gaseous and
liquid forms. The Liquid Nitrogen Purge Systems consists of Cryogenic Storage Dewar,
Injectors, Purging Tubes, Pressure Regulators, Pressure Switches, Adjustable Flow Meters
and other minor ancillaries.
