Tank blanketing

Tank blanketing, also called gas sealing or tank padding, is the process of applying a gas to the empty space in a storage container. The term storage container here refers to any container that is used to store products, regardless of its size. Though tank blanketing is used for a variety of reasons, it typically involves using a buffer gas to protect products inside the storage container. A few of the benefits of blanketing include a longer product life in the container, reduced hazards, and longer equipment life cycles.
