This is new to me and I have been asked if we can carbonate using nitro in a unitank. I figure the stone would not change but from what I read Nitro typically runs around 30psi. Is there anyone doing this and do you need a special tank or modification to a tank to have them handle the pressure? This setup requires the beverage to be carbonated prior to kegging.

Unfortunately I do not remember the details of the equipment, but Rodney Taylor at the Walnut Brewery in Boulder had a system where you simply used flat kegs of beer that were nitrogenated as you served them. It worked awesome as I did a collaboration brew with him once, and ours used a light co2 carb and topped with nitro pressure. His beat our hands down, and was much easier to operate on a larger scale.
Unfortunately the Walnut was bought out by another "Boulder Beer" and closed this year, so Rodney may have moved on and perhaps equipment has changed. You could try reaching out to them for more info though.
If you find out what that equipment was, let me know as I really liked the setup when I saw it, and the beers were absolutely pour-fect.

NitroBrew has these Inline Infusion Modules that make it a lot easier to serve nitro beers. Keg the beer you want on nitro before force carbonation and simply connect the system inline with your tap. More information here; https://nitrobrew.com/product/nitrob...fusion-module/
