Presscon Vernit Expansion system

Expansion system

The Presscon Vernit is a nitrogen expansion system for vertical storage tanks. The system regulates the air pressure that prevails in these tanks and, for example, the associated heating system. The Presscon Vernit system creates a nitrogen blanket in vertical storage tanks and regulates the pressure of this nitrogen blanket within a range of 10 mbar to 18 mbar. The Presscon Vernit creates static water level through pressure, which determines the pressure on the heating system.

How does the Presscon Vernit work?

The system consists of a nitrogen generator with an air compressor, a set of pressure sensors that measure the water level and pressure at the top of a buffer tank, a vacuum overpressure protector for the buffer tank, and a control module that controls the nitrogen generator. Vernit units are intentionally built open, without a cabinet for the interior. This choice allows easy access for maintenance and also ensures that investment costs for the end user are reduced. Although our standard expansion systems range in production capacity from 1 m³ to 18 m³ of 99% nitrogen gas per hour, we can also design and build custom nitrogen plants for a variety of industrial applications, with capacities up to 1,000 m³ of nitrogen gas per hour.
