Nitrogen Pumping Services

Nitrogen Tube Trailer

Meritus Gas Partners is proud to provide industry-leading nitrogen pumping services for numerous industrial and commercial applications. Our services are designed to optimize efficiency, enhance safety and minimize operational downtime, making us the preferred provider across North America.

What Is Nitrogen Pumping?

Nitrogen pumping involves using nitrogen gas under pressure to perform various industrial functions such as purging, inerting and pressure testing. This service is critical in sectors such as oil and gas, manufacturing and utilities, where it ensures operational continuity and safety by maintaining an inert atmosphere to prevent fires or explosions. Nitrogen pumping must be handled by a team of professionals with experience and stringent safety protocols.

Benefits of Nitrogen Pumping Services

Our nitrogen pumping services offer numerous benefits that can significantly improve your operations.

Our nitrogen pumping services significantly improve operational efficiency, allowing for rapid system pressurization and depressurization, which can be crucial during plant start-ups and shutdowns. This efficiency reduces the time systems are offline and accelerates the maintenance process, positively impacting productivity. Efficient nitrogen pumping also helps lower operational costs by minimizing labor-intensive cleaning procedures.

Safety is a paramount concern in any industrial operation. Our nitrogen pumping services adhere to strict safety protocols, including the use of certified equipment and trained personnel. By implementing rigorous safety measures, we help prevent accidents and ensure the well-being of your workforce. Our employees undergo continuous training and certification to stay updated on the latest safety standards and practices.

Operational downtime can be costly and disruptive. Our advanced logistical capabilities allow us to deliver nitrogen pumping services promptly, which is essential for reducing downtime during critical maintenance or emergency shutdowns.

Our nitrogen pumping services’ flexibility ensures they can be tailored to meet the specific pressure and flow requirements of various applications, thereby supporting continuous industrial processes without significant interruptions.

Nitrogen Pumping Options

Meritus Gas Partners offers a diverse range of customized nitrogen pumping solutions to meet specific industrial needs. 

Our mobile pumping trucks and tube trailers feature a patented high-pressure and high-performance pressure builder and vaporizer. This innovative setup effectively manages heat, facilitating optimal gas flow while maintaining the liquid at low temperatures for extended hold times during irregular use. As a result, you can service applications using a single dedicated asset that can be refilled on-site without interrupting operations.

Liquid Tube Trailer

Our liquid tube trailers are ideal for low-to-medium volume and low-to-medium pressure applications. These trailers are equipped with advanced vaporization systems to convert liquid nitrogen into gaseous form as needed. They can handle pressures up to 535 psi and flow rates up to 70,000 SCFH, making them perfect for applications such as:

  • Startups
  • Pipeline purging 
  • Bulk supply trials
  • Pipeline pressure testing
  • As a backup for servicing cryogenic equipment

The liquid tube trailer’s compact design allows for greater maneuverability and ease of use in various settings.

Jumbo Tube Trailer

For medium-volume and high-pressure needs, our jumbo tube trailers provide an efficient solution. These trailers can achieve pressures up to 3,000 psi (pounds per square inch) and volumes up to 130,000 SCFH (standard cubic feet per hour), with fill times as quick as 30 minutes. They are especially suited for performance-sensitive applications such as cavern integrity testing, where real-time data and high reliability are crucial.

Nitrogen Pumping Unit

Our nitrogen pumping unit represents the pinnacle of high-volume and high-pressure nitrogen delivery. With pressures up to 4,000 psi and flow rates from 27,900 to 360,000 SCFH, this unit is engineered to support the most rigorous industrial requirements.

These units feature detailed logging and real-time data capabilities, allowing for precise control and monitoring during operations. Equipped with a 75-foot length and 1 to ½-inch high-pressure hose, they can reach obstructed connection points, making them versatile and highly effective for various industrial applications.

They are suitable for a wide range of applications, including:

  • Industrial plant operations
  • Pipeline maintenance
  • Well completions
