An apparatus for inerting a container headspace comprises a gas conduit configured to feed inert gas from an inert gas source at a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure to a container configured to receive flammable material, and at least one nozzle assembly operably connected to the gas conduit. The assembly comprises gas pressure reduction means configured to reduce the pressure of the inert gas to approximately atmospheric pressure, and at least one gas outlet configured to release the inert gas into the container's headspace at a velocity of less than 20 m/s. |
