Nitrogen Purging in Rabigh
Rabigh, on the Red Sea north of Jeddah, is home to one of the largest integrated refining and petrochemical complexes in the region, along with power and water facilities, pipelines and storage. The scale of the complex means turnarounds involve very large numbers of joints and lines within a single planned outage.
Integrated refining and petrochemical units at Rabigh must be purged before opening and inerted before restart, often many systems at once. We plan purge sequences with operations, track every system against its target, and size nitrogen supply for the peak demand of the turnaround.
Every job under our nitrogen purging services in Rabigh starts with a site survey and a written method statement, and ends with a record of the work for your files.
Purging is often the last step in a sequence that includes hydrotesting of new lines and flange facing of damaged joints, and our crews can deliver the whole sequence.

Displacement and pressure-cycle purging to remove oxygen or hydrocarbons to the level set in your procedure.
Removing moisture after hydrotesting by purging with dry nitrogen until the specified dew point is reached.
Liquid nitrogen with vaporisers or on-site generation, with flow and temperature controlled at the injection point.
Our bolting crews mobilize with calibrated equipment across Saudi Arabia, 24 hours a day.
FAQ
Yes. We plan and run parallel purges, tracking each system against its own target so start-up proceeds in the planned order.
Yes. We scale crews and equipment to the turnaround scope, working shifts if required, and coordinate with the turnaround schedule so our activities stay on plan.
Nitrogen is inert, so it does not react with hydrocarbons or support combustion, and it is dry. That makes it suitable for removing flammable gases before maintenance, removing air before start-up, and drying lines after hydrotesting.
