APPLICATIONS
Packaging, Inerting, and Blanketing are protective processes used in the food and beverage, chemical, and pharmaceutical industries. // Packaging: Uses nitrogen and carbon dioxide to displace oxygen, extending shelf life and maintaining quality. // Inerting: Creates a non-reactive atmosphere in storage tanks and reactors using gases like nitrogen and argon to prevent chemical reactions. // Blanketing: Maintains an inert gas layer over liquids in storage tanks, using nitrogen and carbon dioxide to protect against oxidation and contamination.// These methods ensure product integrity, enhance safety, and extend shelf life.

Inerting involves replacing the atmospheric air in a container or space with an inert gas to prevent chemical reactions, combustion, or spoilage. Common inert gases used include nitrogen (N₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂).
Blanketing (or padding) is the process of maintaining a protective layer of inert gas over the surface of a liquid or material to prevent contact with air and moisture, reducing the risk of oxidation, contamination, and fire hazards.
The most commonly used gases are nitrogen (N₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and sometimes argon (Ar) for their inert properties and ability to displace oxygen.
Inerting reduces the risk of combustion and oxidation, preventing spoilage, degradation, and contamination of products. It is especially crucial in the storage of flammable, reactive, or perishable materials.
These techniques are used in industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, electronics, and oil and gas to protect sensitive products, prevent explosions, and extend shelf life.
Nitrogen is used in food packaging to displace oxygen, which slows down spoilage and extends the shelf life of perishable products like snacks, coffee, dairy products, and fresh produce.
Blanketing involves covering the surface of a liquid in a storage tank with an inert gas to prevent oxidation, moisture ingress, and the formation of explosive atmospheres, thereby enhancing safety and preserving product quality.
Inerting and blanketing solutions are provided by industrial gas suppliers, packaging technology companies, and engineering firms specializing in gas applications and process safety.
