Tank Blanketing
Cross Company Tank Blanketing
Tank Blanketing, also referred to as “tank padding” or “nitrogen blanketing,” is an important safety measure used by many process manufacturers. It involves applying a gas to the empty space within a storage container. By removing oxygen and water in the vapor space of a tank, tank blanketing can protect sensitive process states from oxidation, water absorption, contamination, or evaporation. Further, removing oxygen is also able to significantly reduce corrosion associated with oxidation. This helps maintain tank integrity.
Tank blanketing typically involves utilizing a buffer gas to protect products inside a storage container during a manufacturing process. For instance, food & beverage containers, pharmaceutical tanks, or chemical manufacturing storage all may require precise conditions to maintain process integrity. This leads to a longer life for the product in the container, reduced industrial hazards in general, and longer equipment life cycles.
If this sounds like something that would benefit your operation, we’d love to hear from you. Our team of process engineers, application specialists, and other support can provide you with the safety equipment you need.
The Importance of Tank Blanketing
In industries like chemical manufacturing, petrochemicals, pharmaceuticals, and food processing, properly functioning storage tanks are a necessity. These tanks may contain volatile, flammable, or hazardous materials, so it’s critical that they function as intended. If these substances react with oxygen in the air, it can even be a fire or explosion risk.
At Cross, we work with you to avoid these risks to your process facility and to your productivity. We understand that every industrial facility has unique requirements and challenges. So our team of experts will collaborate closely with your operation to provide tank blanketing systems that align with your specific applications, storage conditions, and safety standards.
We can offer the Bio Gas Control valves, assemblies, and burners that are typically part of multiple digester gas systems, anaerobic digesting systems, or other wastewater treatment processes.
We can provide blanket gas regulators to control a gas environment by maintaining the inert atmosphere to reduce tank emissions and prevent contamination from outside oxygen and moisture.
Benefits of Cross Tank Blanketing
There are many benefits that come with effective tank blanketing for process manufacturing. Some of those benefits include enhanced safety, greater efficiency, and increased savings.
Enhanced Safety
By maintaining an inert atmosphere in process storage tanks, tank blanketing is able to reduce the risk of fires, explosions, or other process disruptions. This protects both your employees and your assets
Greater Efficiency
Tank blanketing preserves product quality by preventing oxidation, contamination, and moisture ingress. In turn, this extends the shelf life of stored materials, which minimizes waste and improves efficiency
Increased Savings
Efficient tank blanketing prevents unnecessary loss of product from spoilage and degradation, saving you money. Also, by ensuring safe storage, you can avoid the liability associated with accidents
