Skip to content This process involves injecting saturated steam to eliminate hydrocarbon vapors from inside process vessels and piping. This operation is necessary every time the equipment or piping is opened for inspection or maintenance. In addition to inerting, steam injection also cleans the inside of the equipment, removing oil residue adhered to its internal walls.
The equipment typically used consists of fire-tube boilers, with steam flow rates of 650 to 10,000 kg/h and pressures up to 300 psi.
Areas of Application:
TSL specializes in industrial inerting services and offers complete solutions for pipeline inerting, tank inerting, process vessels, and industrial systems. With over 40 years of experience in industrial and environmental services, the company uses advanced technologies and highly qualified teams to ensure operational safety during maintenance, inspection, and shutdown interventions at industrial plants.
Inerting services are widely used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and in offshore and onshore operations. In these applications, inerting is essential before opening equipment or performing maintenance activities, ensuring the elimination of flammable vapors and protecting workers, equipment, and the environment.
TSL develops customized inerting projects, evaluating each industrial process to define the most efficient and safe methodology, whether through inerting with saturated water vapor or inerting with nitrogen, in accordance with international safety standards.
