Tank Blanketing Valves

Tank Blanketing, sometimes referred to as “padding”, is the process of filling the

WHAT IS TANK BLANKETING? empty space of a liquid storage tank with an inert gas, most likely Nitrogen due to its
inert properties, availability and relatively low cost.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT? INDUSTRIES

Blanketing protects people, the environment, products, and • Chemical

equipment. If the media is combustible, blanketing removes • Petrochemical
the Oxygen required for combustion. Blanketing protects • Oil & Gas
food and other substances from oxidation, contamination or • Food & Beverage
evaporation. Vapor recovery prevents harmful vapors from • Pharma / Biopharm
escaping into the atmosphere. Reducing corrosion through • Personal Care / Cosmetics
oxidation helps maintain the integrity of the tank. • Semiconductor

HOW IT WORKS

Two-Sided System
• The padding and de-padding valves work together
• The padding valve is a pressure reducing valve (PRV) and
controls the pressure in the tank
- Ensures there is sufficient pressure in the tank
• The de-padding valve (BPRV) is also controlling the
pressure in the tank
- Ensures the tank is not over pressurized
• The set point of the de-padding valve is slightly higher
than the padding valve.
