Quick Read: What You Need to Know About Commercial Gas Purging
Gas purging is a critical process that is used to ensure the safety and reliability of gas pipelines and other equipment within your work environment. It involves removing air and other non-combustible gases from the system, so that the gas can flow through the pipelines without any obstructions or safety hazards – something no business wants to experience.
At Compac, we have extensive experience in gas purging services for a wide range of industries, from oil and gas to chemical and manufacturing. In this blog, we will explore the importance of gas purging and how it can benefit your business.
Why Gas Purging is Important
Gas purging is essential for several reasons:
Safety - Gas pipelines that contain air or other non-combustible gases can be hazardous, as they can cause explosions or fires when mixed with combustible gases. Gas purging ensures that the pipelines are free of air and other gases, reducing the risk of accidents and ensuring the safety of your employees and equipment.
Efficiency - When air or other non-combustible gases are present in a gas pipeline, they can cause obstructions and reduce the flow of gas. This can result in reduced efficiency, increased energy costs and decreased productivity. Gas purging eliminates these obstructions, allowing the gas to flow freely and efficiently.
Compliance - Gas purging is often required by regulatory bodies, such as the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration (PHMSA), to ensure that gas pipelines are safe and compliant with industry standards.
How Gas Purging Works
Gas purging involves removing air and other non-combustible gases from the gas pipeline using a process called displacement. This is done by injecting an inert gas, such as nitrogen, into the pipeline at one end, while venting the air and other gases out at the other end. This process continues until the entire pipeline is purged of air and other non-combustible gases.
At Compac, we use state-of-the-art equipment and techniques to ensure that your gas purging process is safe, efficient and complies with industry standards.
