Maintaining Clean, Dry Metal Parts using Nitrogen Gas
In the metals manufacturing industry, maintaining a clean, dry environment is critical. The presence of moisture can lead to rust, oxidization, or corrosion, all of which can damage the metal parts and reduce the quality of metal products. The best way to eliminate the risk of moisture is through the application of nitrogen gas – […]
Nitrogen Gas for the Food Packaging Industry
In the food packaging industry, the use of nitrogen can be applied to a number of different processes. Not only is nitrogen a safe, inert gas – with a nitrogen generation system, it can be generated from the surrounding air without your facility ever having to worry about changing out expensive high-pressure cylinders. Here’s a […]
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. This is done by 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 […]
Use of N2 Gas in Medical and Pharmaceutical Industries
Nitrogen gas has a wide variety of uses across a range of multiple industries. From food storage to electronics manufacturing to corrosion prevention, Nitrogen can be used to keep products dry and sterile, improve their durability and even provide a safer, cleaner environment for industrial workers. Another common application for Nitrogen gas is within the medical and pharmaceutical industries. These […]
Nitrogen Generators in the Lab
In a working lab, maintaining ideal atmospheric conditions is crucial. Not only does a laboratory need to have a clean, controlled environment, it also needs to be safe – particularly those laboratories that house hazardous materials. One of the most common ways labs maintain a clean, safe, controlled atmosphere is through the application of nitrogen […]
Food Storage with Nitrogen
Nitrogen can be used in manufacturing, industrial, commercial and retail applications, making it a pretty versatile gas. One of the many ways nitrogen has benefited our lives is through its use in the food storage industry. Food storage with nitrogen is imperative. In the food storage and packaging industry, nitrogen plays a critical role in […]
Biofuel Storage with Nitrogen
In recent years, the biofuel industry has seen tremendous growth. In 2011, Biofuels Digest reported a growing demand for alternative fuels, as evidenced by the results of the 2011 Bioenergy Business Outlook Survey. Not only did the survey reveal a growing demand for the biofuels market, it found that further growth is expected by 85 […]
Exhaust Dilution with Nitrogen Gas
Exhaust dilution is an important process used extensively in manufacturing and industrial applications. The process works by emitting gas particles from mechanical engines and diluting phase pneumatic conveying of materials through a system of pipes. This process cools the surrounding atmosphere and eliminates the presence of oxygen, alleviating a huge safety concern. Without such a […]
Nitrogen Gas with Automotive Electronics Systems
Manufacturing electronics is an ever growing field, with more demand now than ever as technology and electronics continue to shape our lives on a global scale. When it comes to the specific area of automotive electronics manufacturing, industry experts anticipate modest to strong growth through 2016. (Source: Automobile Electronics Manufacturing in the US: Market Research Report) As […]
HVAC Manufacturing Using Nitrogen Gas
HVAC manufacturing involves processes that are sensitive to oxygen exposure – particularly the processes of brazing and leak testing. Why Is Nitrogen Gas Important for HVAC Manufacturing? Brazing is a heat treating method of joining two pieces of metal together by melting a metallic filler to form a strong and resilient bond while preserving the […]
Nitrogen Use in Nanolabs
Nanolabs are labs specifically designed for engineers and researchers to create silicon chips or integrated circuits (IC’s) which are used in computers, electronics, monitors, cell phones, and other hand held mobile devices. Nanolabs also provide an ideal environment for designing MEMS (MicroElectroMechanical Systems), a micro technology used in the medical field, energy and environmental technology, […]
