We are exploring the option of Nitrogen padding of drums (200 L) / totes (1000 L) before shipping for avoiding liquid product oxidation. Any guidelines on how this is done and what typical over-pressure to use etc?
Any systems that are sold to do this?
When I researched I find a lot of literature and products for blanketing large stationary tanks. But I don't see any products sold for padding / blanketing of drums and totes pre-shipment.
Any thought / comments on how to go about putting such a system in place? Currently the drums / totes are being filled manually through hoses. The product is safe and with a relatively high flash point and exposure is not an issue.
The N2 padding would be for product degradation prevention and not for safety issues.
