Small Nitrogen Generators
Small nitrogen generators are ideal for applications that require low flow rates of high-purity nitrogen (N2). Compact and portable nitrogen generators can be utilized for fieldwork or emergency operations, including military ground operations, as well as coal mine fire suppression and prevention. Additionally, they can be installed as stationary units in smaller, out-of-the-way locations. Portable […]

Nut packaging with a Nitrogen Generator
You might think using nitrogen to preserve food is a little…nutty. But many food and nut packaging manufacturers rely on this clean, inert gas to package, preserve, and store perishable food items. Over the years, more and more food industries have begun relying on nitrogen generation systems for their N2 gas needs. Why Use Nitrogen […]
Nitrogen Gas Sparging
As one of the most dominant elements in our universe, nitrogen is a versatile gas. Despite its extensive cosmic reach, nitrogen can be employed for many practical applications here on Earth. One such application is sparging, sometimes referred to as nitrogen gas sparging. Sparging with nitrogen gas is common in winemaking (See: Nitrogen Uses in the Wine Industry). […]
Nitrogen Helps Control Incubator Oxygen Levels
In IVF (in vitro fertilization), an incubator protects and cultures an embryo, ideally until it can be transplanted, resulting in pregnancy. The oxygen levels in the incubator are crucial. Maintaining a reduced oxygen level within the embryonic incubator is vital for preserving the embryo. To lower the oxygen concentration in the incubator, a steady stream […]
N2 Gas Purge for Autoclaves, Ovens, and Aluminum Furnaces
Nitrogen gas has a wide range of uses in various industrial applications. One such application is the processing, curing, and treatment of resins. Resins are used in many materials, some of which are used in the aerospace industry, and they need to be carefully cured to prevent bubbles, deformities, and impurities. Nitrogen can be introduced during the […]
Nitrogen Gas Use in the Aerospace Industry
In the aerospace industry, nitrogen gas is used to pressurize certain components of industrial autoclaves. Because nitrogen is an inert gas that prevents combustion, it is an ideal choice for systems operating at high temperatures or high pressure. See: Nitrogen Gas and Aerospace Manufacturing Autoclaves apply heat and pressure to workloads placed inside them. There are […]
Nitrogen for Power Plants
The Threat of Corrosion to Power Plant EquipmentAs we all know, corrosion shortens the life of power plant process equipment. Protecting boiler tubes, condensers, and wet parts within small industrial boilers, HRSG combined cycle power plants, and large gas, oil, and coal-fired power plants from corrosion is critical during short-term layups and long-term plant outages. […]
Nitrogen Tank Blanketing System
Tank blanketing is a process used by various industries to prevent air, moisture, and other contaminants from entering a storage container. It involves introducing an inert gas into the container, which displaces oxygen and thereby reduces or eliminates the risk of moisture condensation and other elements that could compromise the quality of the product. Benefits […]
Use of N2 Gas in Medical and Pharmaceutical Industries
Nitrogen gas has a wide variety of uses across multiple industries. From food storage to electronics manufacturing to corrosion prevention, nitrogen can keep products dry and sterile, improve their durability, and even create a safer, cleaner environment for industrial workers. Another common application of nitrogen gas is in the medical and pharmaceutical industries. These sectors utilize N2 gas to reduce […]
