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 Gas Sparging
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 […]
Soldering with Nitrogen Gas
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 […]
Radio Telescope Manufacturing with Nitrogen
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 […]
Nitrogen Helps Control Incubator Oxygen Levels
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 Supply for Universities and Research Labs
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 […]
N2 Gas Purge for Autoclaves, Ovens, and Aluminum Furnaces
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 […]
N2-GEN C Series Installation for Fortune 500 Roofing Manufacturing Company
South-Tek Systems is pleased to announce their third PSA Nitrogen Generator installation at a major roofing manufacturing company. This was an indoor installation of our PSA N2 GEN 40CS in the company’s facility located in Houston, TX. The system at this facility included an oxygen analyzer for continuous monitoring of the Nitrogen from the 120 Gallon storage […]
Optics Purge with Nitrogen
Optical instruments rely on nitrogen for a process known as “purging”, called optics purge. This process ensures that the optical lenses remain fog-proof or water-proof. Purging with N2 gas can apply to a variety of optical instruments, including night vision goggles, binoculars, cameras, microscopes, telescopes and more. Many of the products that rely on nitrogen gas for […]
Nitrogen Gas Use in the Aerospace Industry
In the aerospace industry, nitrogen gas can be used to pressurize certain components of industrial autoclaves. Because nitrogen is an inert gas which prevents the possibility of combustion, it is an ideal choice for systems that operate under high temperatures or high pressure. See: Nitrogen Gas and Aerospace Manufacturing Autoclaves apply heat and pressure to the workload […]
Nitrogen Gas for Transmission Lines
When you combine the presence of oxygen, moisture, and certain other materials, corrosion can occur. This corrosion can cause long-term damage and ruin the structure and operation of various mechanical and industrial components. Transmission lines are no exception. In addition to corrosion, transmission lines can also be vulnerable to voltage arcs and oxidization when oxygen […]
