Overview
BERG provides on-site nitrogen generation systems for pipeline purging, inerting, tank blanketing, pressure testing and process gas supply in oil and gas applications. Solutions cover PSA NITROBERG nitrogen generation, containerized systems, booster packages and industrial nitrogen distribution.

Gas supply challenges
Oil and gas facilities require reliable nitrogen availability for safety-critical and process applications. Identified challenges include:

• Maintaining continuous availability for production and planned shutdowns
• Reducing risks associated with external supply logistics (liquid nitrogen, cylinders)
• Operation in demanding environments (offshore, onshore, remote sites)

BERG system approach
BERG proposes a system approach including on-site nitrogen generation (PSA NITROBERG), pre-engineered containerized systems, and booster packages for compression, buffer storage and pressure regulation. Solutions are sized according to flow, purity, pressure and operating profile.

Main solution — On-site nitrogen generation
NITROBERG PSA nitrogen generators produce nitrogen from prepared compressed air, providing a continuous nitrogen stream adapted to variable oil and gas project needs. Key advantages:

• Reduced dependence on liquid nitrogen deliveries and cylinders
• Scalable industrial gas supply
• Integrated feed air preparation for PSA generation

Applications

• Pipeline purging and inerting (oxygen reduction prior to commissioning, maintenance or restart)
• Tank blanketing and storage protection in refineries
• Inerting in refineries and petrochemical plants
• Pressure testing and leak tests using clean, dry inert gas
• Support for maintenance shutdowns and turnarounds (purging, drying, maintenance operations)
• Nitrogen supply for remote sites and offshore operations
• Compression and distribution via booster packages and buffer tanks

Typical supply flow
Ambient air → Feed air preparation → NITROBERG nitrogen generator → Nitrogen buffer tank → Booster / Pressure regulation → Pipeline / Tank / Process application

Economic advantages
Compared to traditional supply, on-site generation offers:

• Continuous nitrogen production
• Reduced dependence on external logistics and delivery costs
• Improved supply security
• Scalable system design suitable for remote sites

Recommended systems
Typical BERG solutions for oil and gas include:

• NITROBERG PSA nitrogen generators
• Containerized nitrogen systems for remote sites and international projects
• Nitrogen booster packages for high-pressure applications
• OXYBERG oxygen generators for selected process or utility applications
