For operation, additional nitrogen and cooling water are required. What do I have to consider and how high is consumption?

Nitrogen is always required for the operation of the light-ends removal system. This is required for the intertisation and the generation of overpressure within the system. Consumption depends on the quantity of light-ends in the oil.

To ensure the continuous provision of nitrogen and simultaneously to reduce the running costs, we recommend using a nitrogen generator with a 750-l nitrogen tank.

Cooling water is always required for the operation of the light ends removal systems. While the passive light ends removal systems mostly work without cooling water (due to air cooling), it is highly recommended for active light ends removal systems. In warmer regions with ambient temperatures of more than 25ºC it is even always required. Water cools the condenser in which the hot, gaseous light ends are cooled down and condensed.
