Blanket Gas Regulators
Blanket Gas Regulators for Precise Pressure Control
For storage tanks containing flammable, volatile, or sensitive liquids, the vapor space above the product is a critical control point. Allowing outside air to enter during pump-out or thermal contraction introduces oxygen and moisture, leading to product degradation, corrosion, and the formation of explosive gas mixtures. At Cross Company, we aim to prevent that from happening.
Cross Company’s Process Solutions group works directly with you to successfully implement tank blanketing strategies using blanket gas regulators to provide precise pressure control, ensure the safety of your personnel, and the purity of your product.

Blanket Gas Regulators
The primary benefit of using blanket gas regulators is safety enhancement. They ensure the safety of storage tanks through maintaining the appropriate pressures and through preventing the ingress of air or contaminants. By doing this, they mitigate the risk of fires, explosions, and other reactions that could lead to hazardous conditions.
Benefits:
- Reduce atmospheric emissions
- Reduce evaporative losses from product and blanket gas
- Reduce fire and explosion risk cause by lightning or other factors by creating an inert atmosphere in a pressurized tank
- Reduce or prevent product deterioration, contamination or spoilage, typically due to the introduction of air into the vacuum condition
- Prevent oxidation in the tank
Applications:
- Chemical storage
- Hydrocarbon storage
- Food & Beverage
- Power & Energy
- Pharmaceutical
Get Effective Tank Blanketing
Blanket gas regulators are more than just valves, they’re dynamic control systems. When liquid is drawn from the tank (or as the temperature drops), the pressure in the vapor space decreases. The regulator senses this drop and immediately supplies inert gas to restore the set pressure, preventing the tank from pulling a vacuum or drawing in ambient air.
At Cross, we offer GROTH blanket gas regulators designed for simple, reliable operation. Unlike complex systems which can be difficult to maintain, these utilize a spring-loaded, “push-push” balanced piston design. This ensures high accuracy without the need for delicate pilot valves, reducing both initial cost and long-term maintenance requirements.
