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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

When the U.S. military is using equipment out in the field, safety and efficiency are top priorities. That’s why South-Tek Systems is pleased to offer a line of small and portable nitrogen generators specifically designed for use in field labs, Humvee mounted optical labs, and mobile maintenance trailers. Ideal for field operations and temporary labs and stations, […]

As one of the most dominant elements in our universe, nitrogen is a very versatile gas. Even with it’s grand and cosmic reach, nitrogen can also be used for a great many practical applications right here on Earth. One such application is sparging, sometimes called nitrogen gas sparging. The process of sparging with nitrogen gas is […]

The practice of soldering – joining two or more metal items by melting and adhering a filler metal – is used in a wide variety of applications. From plumbing to jewelry making to electronics manufacturing, soldering is a common practice. The Problem  Unfortunately, the process can be hindered by the presence of oxygen. Oxygen and metals […]

Nitrogen is a clean, dry, inert gas that helps reduce or eliminate the presence of oxygen and moisture within an atmosphere. This is highly beneficial in the manufacturing industry, especially when it comes to manufacturing sensitive or fragile technical equipment like radio telescope manufacturing. Radio telescope manufacturers rely on the presence of high-purity nitrogen gas […]

In IVF (in vetro fertilization), an incubator serves the purpose of protecting and culturing an embryo, hopefully to the point where it can be transplanted, resulting in pregnancy. Incubator oxygen levels are important. Maintaining a reduced oxygen level within the embryonic incubator is essential to preserving the embryo inside. In order to reduce the level […]

Nitrogen gas is one of the most common elements in the universe. It is estimated to be seventh in total abundance in our galaxy and solar system, and forms approximately 80 percent of the Earth’s atmosphere. Because it is so common, and because of its favorable qualities, nitrogen is used for a variety of tasks […]

Nitrogen gas has a wide range of uses within various industrial applications. One such application is the processing, curing and treating of resins. Resins are used in many different materials, some of which are even used in the aerospace industry, and need to be carefully cured in order to prevent bubbles, deformities and impurities. Nitrogen can be […]
