Upon the completion of a commercial gas installation, a meticulous decommissioning of the line or reinstatement of a gas line calls for a thorough test and purge. The method of execution varies, contingent upon the volume at hand, but the crux of the procedure entails a timed test conducted at different pressures, followed by a purge either to air or gas.
Our company boasts top-of-the-line equipment to facilitate efficient commercial testing and purging, both to and from gas. In the event of an area with equipment that may pose a hazard or is densely populated, the purge can either be carried out to the atmosphere or flared.
