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 treatment process to ensure that autoclaves, ovens, and aluminum furnaces process the product safely and efficiently.
Purging for Autoclaves
In a process known as purging, nitrogen is introduced to displace existing oxygen, moisture, or contaminants. In autoclaves, which process industrial parts and equipment, nitrogen is used instead of compressed air to significantly reduce the risk of combustion. Because nitrogen is an inert gas, it is a practical choice for maintaining safe operating procedures. Additionally, as nitrogen is readily available, it can serve as a cost-effective solution for facilities that rely on furnaces, ovens, and autoclaves for large-scale production.
Benefits
To further benefit from nitrogen’s efficient and safe use, a nitrogen generator can be installed at the process point to produce N2 gas effectively from the surrounding air. South-Tek Systems is the leading manufacturer of N2 generators, and our mission is to provide reliable nitrogen generation technology. We specialize in nitrogen generation solutions.
Technology
The nitrogen generators from South-Tek System utilize the latest technology to separate nitrogen molecules from the air we breathe. This reduces the need for users or facility managers to depend on expensive high-pressure gas cylinders, which can run out unexpectedly and require a costly contract with gas suppliers.
Instead of relying on delivered bulk nitrogen, a nitrogen generator located at the point of process can help your facility operate smoothly, reducing the risk of interruptions and downtime during peak production.
