From Minimal to Fully Built-to-Specification Custom Designs

Inert Gas Blanketing Systems

Inert Gas Blanketing Systems are self-regulated systems used when a thermal fluid is operated at elevated temperatures or when an expansion tank is not at the highest point in the overall piping system. 

Placing an Inert Gas Blanketing System on an expansion or thermal absorption tank can improve the life of thermal fluid and of the heat transfer equipment. Blanketed systems can significantly reduce the rates of thermal fluid oxidation and can improve process performance through improved fluid condition.  

HEAT offers four distinct levels of customization, ranging from minimal customization to fully built-to-specification designs. Each unique system undergoes a Factory Acceptance Test in accordance with HEAT standard practice prior to shipment. 

  • Reduce Oxidation of the Thermal Fluid 
  • Reduce Corrosion of the Expansion or Thermal Absorption Tank 
  • Improve Life Expectancy of the Thermal Fluid and Heat Transfer Equipment 
  • Overcome Static Fluid Pressure Issues 
  • Overcome Low Fluid Vaporization Temperatures
