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 […]

Nitrogen Generators for MAP
Modified Air Packaging, or “MAP,” is a process in which food is packaged in such as way as to preserve taste, texture and freshness. MAP is primarily used in the food packaging industry; however, modified air packaging can also be used in other areas such as the pharmaceutical industry. How does MAP work? This common […]
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 Use in Transmission Lines
Transmission lines can be vulnerable to corrosion if they are exposed to oxygen and moisture – the two main components that cause a corrosive reaction. Not only can corrosion become a problem in transmission lines, but dangerous voltage arcs and copper oxidation can also become issues if protective measures are not taken. That’s why South-Tek […]
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 […]
Nitrogen Gas Uses in Power Generation
Did you know that nitrogen gas makes up about 78 percent of the air we breathe? Because nitrogen is so present in our atmosphere, it’s no surprise that more and more industries are relying on it for use with applications at their facilities. And, as such a common resource, it’s also not surprising that more […]
