Oil, gas and petrochemical industry nozzle selection table
The table below summarises much of the information in the oil, gas and petrochemical industry section of the SNP website. It is intended to be a handy reference guide to aid nozzle selection. Full data on each of the nozzles listed can be accessed by clicking on the boxes in the left hand column of the table below. The data sheets will open in a separate tab to allow easy comparisons between multiple product sheets.

| 
| Injection | Adding anti-corrosives to gas pipes | |
| 
| Fire protection | Deluge system for protecting gas storage tanks | |
| 
| Fire/explosion prevention | Adding a fine mist to reduce electrostatic charge build up in storage tanks | |
| 
| Tank cleaning | Cleaning petroleum storage tanks | Anti=sparking tank cleaning device suitable for volatile environments, |
| 
| Cooling | Rapid cooling of gas flows | Very fine sprays rapidly remove heat from gas flows. |
| 
| Cooling | Evaporative cooling | “Dry” cooling that avoids wetting |
| 
| Gas scrubbing | Removing hydrogen sulphide from gas flow | Tangential whirl minimised profile of nozzle. |
