Nitrogen Purging Services in Khafji
Terminal and tank systems at Khafji must be gas freed before work. We plan purges so the job is done in one trip.
Purging terminal systems in Khafji
Processing, storage and marine terminal facilities at Khafji hold hydrocarbon vapour that must be cleared before maintenance. Nitrogen purging in Khafji gas frees lines and vessels, inerts them before return to service and supports offshore scopes prepared from the shore base.
We purge to a measured target. The system volume, purge method, injection and vent points and the oxygen or hydrocarbon limit are agreed before nitrogen is introduced.
Most nitrogen purging jobs in Khafji are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Khafji and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main nitrogen purging services in KSA page.

Do you bring nitrogen supply to Khafji?
Yes. We arrange liquid nitrogen or cylinder packs sized to the systems, so the work can be finished in one visit.
What oxygen level do you purge to in Khafji?
The target is set by your site procedures and the next activity. Inerting before hydrocarbons go in commonly aims for a low single-digit oxygen percentage or less, agreed before we start.
Can you supply nitrogen for jobs in Khafji?
Yes. We arrange liquid nitrogen with vaporisers for large volumes or cylinder packs for smaller systems, or use the supply already on site.
