NITROGEN (UN1977) and Nitrogen TANK rental
Characteristics
Colourless and odourless gas. Asphyxiant in high concentrations. Gas density is slightly lighter than air
Source
Nitrogen is produced in large quantities at air separation plants which liquefy and subsequently distill air into nitrogen, oxygen and argon. If very high purity nitrogen is required the nitrogen produced may need to go through a secondary purification process. The lower range of nitrogen purities can also be produced with membrane techniques, and medium to high purities with pressure swing absorption (PSA) techniques.
Applications
We have 20′ and 40′ cryogenic ISO tank containers which are deployed extensively in the transport of nitrogen of all grades.
We can undertake large scale purging and cool down operations involving many tanks.
