The Need for a Gas Freeing Service
Whether you are conducting regular maintenance, hot work, cold work or construction within tanks, lines, barges or vessels, the safety of your infrastructure and personnel is of paramount importance. Our gas free inspections allow your staff to operate in a safe environment, ensuring that the status of all enclosed spaces is properly assessed and monitored and enabling the issue of a permit-to-work as part of standard safety procedures.
SGS provides expert supervision of purging and conditioning in preparation for loading and gas-freeing operations of bulk liquid tankers and chemical gas and LNG carriers. This supervision involves close monitoring of all physical parameters, such as oxygen and gas content, dew point, pressure and temperature. We will also manage all aspects of the final analytical testing and certification of the tank atmospheres to determine that these have been purged or gas-freed to the required specifications.
