Abstract

See full text

A method for storage and supply of a F3NO-free FNO-containing gas comprises the steps of storing the F3NO-free FNO-containing gas in a NiP coated steel cylinder with a polished inner surface, releasing the F3NO-free FNO-containing gas from the cylinder to a manifold assembly by activating a cylinder valve in fluid communication with the cylinder and the manifold assembly, de-pressurizing the F3NO-free FNO-containing gas by activating a pressure regulator in the manifold assembly so as to divide the manifold assembly into a first pressure zone upstream of the pressure regulator and a second pressure zone downstream of the pressure regulator, and feeding the de-pressurized F3NO-free FNO-containing gas to a target reactor downstream of the second pressure zone.
