Closer Look at Flammability, Inerting of Complex Hydrocarbon Mixtures
Original language description
In the lifetime of oil and gas pipelines there are numerous events that could pose the potential of an explosion hazard, with commissioning, maintenance, replacement, as well as decommissioning and abandonment. In air purging, flammable mixtures are created in pipelines in an uncontrolled manner. A revision of basic flammability and inerting principles in oil and gas pipelines is presented. Based on these concepts, applications of mobile nitrogen unit technology are described. Nitrogen unit technology has been proven to increase safety compared to air purging, while simultaneously maintaining high operational flexibility. Concerning the potential hazard of pipeline purging, it is not inherently safe to use air, especially when flammable liquids are involved. Thereby, inert gas purging solutions is preferred. Still mobile nitrogen units come as a safe solution to the problem of off-road accessibility and operational flexibility whenever the demand comes.
