Nitrogen inerting of Vessels
(OP)
Is there a website or article/page which shows how to determine the amount of purges a vessel must be purged to lower its oxygen concentration varying the nitrogen purity?

RE: Nitrogen inerting of Vessels
I prefer to pressure at one end and then depressure at the other end so I tend to sweep 'through' the vessel or system. For the calculations though, I assume I have good mixing during the pressurization step rather than taking credit for having 'plug' flow (if I was purging a pipeline, I might think about that). The number of steps will give you a good idea for planning purposes and you can always stop it when your equipment shows you have reached the target levels.
