High purity nitrogen is used in assisting high pressure metal cutting and beam path purge for laser users. Opting for a nitrogen generator as a laser cutting aid rather than a purchased gas supply for laser cutting applications can appreciably reduce operating costs for your company, and is far more convenient than reliance on bottled and […]

How Dave and Busters Uses Nitrogen Generators
Dave and Busters, one America’s most highly recognized restaurant brands with over 60 locations in 29 states, has utilized South-Tek’s BeerBlast nitrogen generator systems to help eliminate draft beer over foaming waste issues. South-Tek received a letter from Sean Lovaas, the Manager of their Jacksonville, Florida location who noted that their “draft beer costs have been reduced […]
Nitrogen Generators for MAP
Modified Air Packaging, or “MAP,” is a process in which food is packaged in such as way as to preserve taste, texture and freshness. MAP is primarily used in the food packaging industry; however, modified air packaging can also be used in other areas such as the pharmaceutical industry. How does MAP work? This common […]
Rehabilitation of Fire Sprinkler Systems Affected by Corrosion
When corrosion becomes a problem in a fire protection system, it can be a challenge to determine the extent and severity of the damage. Because internal corrosion typically causes irreversible damage, fractional pipe replacement is almost always needed. In other words, a replacement of the affected pipe sections is usually required as a type of […]
Nitrogen Use in Transmission Lines
Transmission lines can be vulnerable to corrosion if they are exposed to oxygen and moisture – the two main components that cause a corrosive reaction. Not only can corrosion become a problem in transmission lines, but dangerous voltage arcs and copper oxidation can also become issues if protective measures are not taken. That’s why South-Tek […]

That’s why South-Tek Systems is pleased to offer a line of small and portable nitrogen generators specifically designed for use in field labs, Humvee mounted optical labs, and mobile maintenance trailers. Ideal for field operations and temporary labs and stations, […]
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 […]
