High purity nitrogen is used in assisting high pressure metal cutting and beam path purge for laser users. Opting for a nitrogen generator as a laser cutting aid rather than a purchased gas supply for laser cutting applications can appreciably reduce operating costs for your company, and is far more convenient than reliance on bottled and […]

U.S. Patent and Trademark Office sides with South-Tek Systems overturning U.S. Patent No. 9,186,533
WILMINGTON, NC – On January 11th, 2018, the U.S. Patent office sided with South-Tek Systems and invalidated all claims of the Engineered Corrosion Solutions (ECS) Patent Number 9,186,533 as being obvious to one of ordinary skill in the art of fire protection sprinkler systems. This means that prior art, such as publications and patents, demonstrated […]
Nitrogen Generators – Payback (ROI) Calculation
 ROI with Nitrogen Generation vs Bulk Liquid Nitrogen Uncover Cost savings and production growth What is a Nitrogen Generator? Nitrogen Generators mechanically separate nitrogen (N2) from compressed air and feed it to a N2 receiver tank for continuous use in a wide range of industrial processes. Two technologies can be used to accomplish this, membrane and […]

How Dave and Busters Uses Nitrogen Generators
Dave and Busters, one America’s most highly recognized restaurant brands with over 60 locations in 29 states, has utilized South-Tek’s BeerBlast nitrogen generator systems to help eliminate draft beer over foaming waste issues. South-Tek received a letter from Sean Lovaas, the Manager of their Jacksonville, Florida location who noted that their “draft beer costs have been reduced […]
Rehabilitation of Fire Sprinkler Systems Affected by Corrosion
When corrosion becomes a problem in a fire protection system, it can be a challenge to determine the extent and severity of the damage. Because internal corrosion typically causes irreversible damage, fractional pipe replacement is almost always needed. In other words, a replacement of the affected pipe sections is usually required as a type of […]
Nitrogen Gas Use in Fire Safety Training
For fire safety, fire rescue organizations, and their employees, smoke simulation is a key part of the overall training experience. In many cases, nitrogen gas can be used to produce dense vapor that simulates smoke in a safe manner. This helps create a realistic training environment while protecting the trainees from the harm of real […]
Lab Applications that Benefit from Nitrogen Generators
Nitrogen generators allow facilities that utilize nitrogen to efficiently create their own supply of N2 gas on demand. This provides a level of cost effective, efficient N2 production that most clients find far superior to bulk liquid, especially in lab applications. While nitrogen generation can enhance operations in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, one […]
