Ultra-Pure Nitrogen Generation – UNICO Petroleum, Syria
Engineered and commissioned a 99.999% purity nitrogen plant in conflict-ridden Syria, showcasing Nuberg GPD’s unmatched resolve and technical prowess with a zero purge loss Cu-dx system.
Client: UNICO Petroleum
Capacity: 500 Nm³/Hr PSA Nitrogen Generator (99.999% purity, Cu-dx Model, No Purge Loss)
Location: Syria
Year of Commissioning: 2018
Overview:
UNICO Petroleum required a nitrogen generation unit that could deliver ultra-pure nitrogen (99.999%) without purge loss—a rare technical feat that offered both performance and cost efficiency. But beyond technical complexity, the project had another formidable barrier: it was based in war-torn Syria.
Key Challenges:
- Extreme Risk Environment: Syria’s volatile conditions discouraged most suppliers. Engineering personnel were reluctant to enter, fearing safety.
- High Purity Requirement: The unit had to deliver industry-leading purity with zero purge loss—demanding advanced design and integration.
- Logistical Bottlenecks: With limited transport channels, bringing equipment and people into the country was a logistical nightmare.
Solution & Execution:
When others hesitated, Nuberg GPD led from the front. In an unprecedented move, the company’s Directors personally accompanied the engineering team into Syria—a strong signal of leadership commitment and mission assurance.
Nuberg deployed the Cu-dx model, known for zero purge loss and high operational stability. The entire installation was pre-tested, modularized, and logistically streamlined to reduce time-on-ground. With precise coordination, the team navigated every bottleneck—from customs clearance to last-mile delivery—without delay.
Impact:
The plant was delivered, installed, and commissioned exactly as promised. In recognition of this feat, UNICO Petroleum featured Nuberg GPD’s achievement in national Syrian media, reinforcing Nuberg’s image as a fearless and reliable engineering partner capable of delivering in conflict zones.
