Nitrogen Purging in Yanbu

Turnaround purging in Yanbu

Refineries, the NGL plant and petrochemical complexes in Yanbu Industrial City all need large-scale purging during turnarounds. Nitrogen purging in Yanbu provides the supply, crews and analysers to gas free units at the start and inert them before start-up.

Pressure purging reaches branches and dead legs, flow-through displacement clears long lines efficiently, and dilution suits vessels and tanks.

Most nitrogen purging jobs in Yanbu are part of a wider joint repair, so the same crew can also handle bolt torquing in Yanbu and the other services below. For methods, equipment and standards, see our main nitrogen purging services in KSA page.
