Removing or replacing a pressurized bulk LPG tank is one of the most hazardous operations in engineering. Residual liquid and heavy vapors trapped in vessel walls can ignite if not evacuated, neutralized, and certified under strict statutory safety protocols.

NovaShield provides end-to-end decommissioning. We begin by obtaining all required hazardous activity and environmental work permits.

Our specialized decanting rigs extract all remaining liquid fuel and vapor into certified transport tankers. The vessel is then subjected to multi-stage inert nitrogen purging until calibrated instrumentation confirms 0% LEL and zero oxygen, allowing cold lifting or shearing to proceed safely.

Core Deliverables & Engineering Scope:

  • Safe transfer and decanting of residual liquid LPG into certified road tankers
  • High-volume inert nitrogen purging to displace flammable vapor atmospheres
  • Issuance of official Gas-Free Certificates by certified gas safety engineers
  • Cold-cutting techniques eliminating hot-work fire hazards during tank segmentation
  • Heavy crane rigging, lifting, and specialized transport logistics across the UAE
  • Statutory tank retirement sign-off and site rehabilitation

Purging Thermodynamics & Gas-Free Verification

We apply displacement and dilution thermodynamics with nitrogen purging to ensure explosive envelopes are completely bypassed.

Purging is conducted using continuous nitrogen sweep through bottom inlet connections with top flare or safe atmospheric venting. Gas monitoring is performed continuously across vessel high and low points.
