Nitrogen blanketing of storage tanks involves the application of Nitrogen cover over the surface of stored products. For volatile or toxic chemicals, nitrogen blanketing can protect workers, equipment, and the environment from potential hazards. When the stored product is food or other sensitive substances, the covering gas prevents oxidation and contamination from air or moisture exposure. Typically, the covering gas is pure, dry nitrogen. This process inhibits liquid evaporation into the atmosphere and maintains a protective vapor space above flammable or combustible liquids, thereby reducing ignition risks. It also compensates for volume changes caused by liquid displacement or thermal variations within the tank, preventing the formation of vacuum conditions or excessive operating pressures. Fisher's control valves are specifically engineered to manage the blanketing requirements for a wide range of products including solvents, adhesives, catalysts, chemicals, fuels, fats, oils, foods, inks, pharmaceuticals, photographic chemicals, soaps, and ultra-pure water. Products that are flammable, prone to oxidation, or susceptible to damage from air or moisture exposure should be protected with nitrogen blanketing.
