The present invention relates to the use of a primarily nitrogen
containing blanketing agent from the air separation unit of a Gas To
Liquids, Heavy Hydrocarbon Conversion, or Methanol Synthesis Facility on
transport vessels. The primarily nitrogen containing blanketing agent is
used to reduce corrosion, reduce product biodegradation and oxidation,
control invasive species, and prevent fires and explosions by reducing
oxygen content. Accordingly, the present invention relates to integrated
processes for producing hydrocarbonaceous products and using a primarily
nitrogen containing blanketing agent supplied from the process in
shipping the products.
