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 facilities in power generation are choosing to use installed nitrogen generators for their N2 gas needs.
Power plants especially benefit from using nitrogen generators in power generation, as they consistently rely on nitrogen gas for a multitude of applications (See: Nitrogen for Power Plants).
Safety First!
From inerting boiler tubes and condensers to preventing corrosion within fire protection systems to evacuating natural gas to power generation and more, nitrogen is commonly and safely used in power plants throughout the world. Because nitrogen is a dry, inert gas – meaning it is highly unlikely for it to create moisture or combustion – power plants that utilize it for their operations can rest assured that they are harnessing a resource that has been proven safe and reliable. This not only protects the workers within the plant, but it also maintains a level of safety and integrity for the industrial components and for the facility and itself.
Nitrogen Applications
As a leading manufacturer of nitrogen generators, South-Tek Systems is pleased to offer a variety of N2 Generation Systems that are ideally suited to power plant facilities.
