Use of Nitrogen Generators at Power Plants
Power plants utilize nitrogen generators for various applications. In this discussion, we will explore some of the more common applications, along with the reasons why plant managers select nitrogen generators as their preferred N2 gas source. Power Plant Applications Nitrogen Purge for HRSG Wet and Dry Boiler Lay-Up – Corrosion poses a significant threat to the performance, […]
Nut packaging with a Nitrogen Generator
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 […]
Nitrogen Helps Control Incubator Oxygen Levels
In IVF (in vitro fertilization), an incubator protects and cultures an embryo, ideally until it can be transplanted, resulting in pregnancy. The oxygen levels in the incubator are crucial. Maintaining a reduced oxygen level within the embryonic incubator is vital for preserving the embryo. To lower the oxygen concentration in the incubator, a steady stream […]
Optics Purge with Nitrogen
Optical instruments rely on nitrogen for a process known as “purging, ” referred to as optics purge. This process ensures that optical lenses remain fog-proof and water-proof. Purging with N2 gas can be applied to a variety of optical instruments, including night vision goggles, binoculars, cameras, microscopes, telescopes, and more. Many products that rely on nitrogen gas […]
Nitrogen Gas Use in the Aerospace Industry
In the aerospace industry, nitrogen gas is used to pressurize certain components of industrial autoclaves. Because nitrogen is an inert gas that prevents combustion, it is an ideal choice for systems operating at high temperatures or high pressure. See: Nitrogen Gas and Aerospace Manufacturing Autoclaves apply heat and pressure to workloads placed inside them. There are […]
Maintaining Clean, Dry Metal Parts using Nitrogen Gas
Maintaining a clean, dry environment is crucial in the metals manufacturing industry. Moisture can lead to rust, oxidation, or corrosion, all of which can damage metal parts and diminish the quality of metal products. The most effective way to mitigate moisture risk is by applying nitrogen gas. When manufactured, metal parts are often covered with […]
Nitrogen Gas for the Food Packaging Industry
Nitrogen can be utilized for various processes in the food packaging industry. It is a safe, inert gas, and with a nitrogen generation system, it can be produced from the surrounding air, eliminating the need for your facility to manage costly, high-pressure cylinders. Here’s a look at some of the many ways the food packaging […]
Nitrogen Tank Blanketing System
Tank blanketing is a process used by various industries to prevent air, moisture, and other contaminants from entering a storage container. It involves introducing an inert gas into the container, which displaces oxygen and thereby reduces or eliminates the risk of moisture condensation and other elements that could compromise the quality of the product. Benefits […]
Food Storage with Nitrogen
Nitrogen is a versatile gas used in manufacturing, industrial, commercial, and retail applications. One major benefit of nitrogen in our lives is its role in food packaging and storage. In the food storage and packaging industry, nitrogen is critical for preserving the product’s freshness, flavor, and texture. N2 gas is a clean, dry, and inert […]
