The Tank Inertisation / blanketing Valves
“Inertisation” means the replacement of the „normal“ atmosphere by a inert (inactive) atmosphere, mostly nitrogen (N2), or carbon dioxide (CO2) in the food industry. The inertisation will be done to prevent any explosion of solvent vapours or the oxidation and contamination of the product. A residual oxygen content of < 5% in the atmosphere is considered sufficient protection against an explosion.

Dow’s net-zero carbon emissions ethylene and derivatives complex is expected to more than triple the company’s ethylene and polyethylene capacity from its Fort Saskatchewan, Alberta site in Canada. The site's existing assets will be retrofitted to meet the requirements of net-zero carbon emissions (Scope 1 and 2). The project is expected to decarbonize ~20 % of the firm’s global ethylene capacity while growing polyethylene supply by ~15 %.
