The supply of gaseous nitrogen is required in order to maintain a nitrogen blanket within the coke oven gas main. Supply is required for a maximum of 2 years after which time no nitrogen will be needed as the main will be cleaned and unused. The nitrogen is supplied by a single air separation unit (ASU) which is owned, operated and maintained by BOC. Competition is absent as the pipeline is purpose built to supply the site, and there are no other potential suppliers with such a facility. Nitrogen is needed in order to ensure that pyrophoric materials in the coke oven gas main remain safe and do not ignite.
