Nitrogen Gas Use in Fire Safety Training
For fire safety, fire rescue organizations, and their employees, smoke simulation is a key part of the overall training experience. In many cases, nitrogen gas can be used to produce dense vapor that simulates smoke in a safe manner. This helps create a realistic training environment while protecting the trainees from the harm of real […]
Lab Applications that Benefit from Nitrogen Generators
Nitrogen generators allow facilities that utilize nitrogen to efficiently create their own supply of N2 gas on demand. This provides a level of cost effective, efficient N2 production that most clients find far superior to bulk liquid, especially in lab applications. While nitrogen generation can enhance operations in a variety of industrial and commercial applications, one […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
South-Tek Systems Installs Nitrogen Generator System at Major Georgia University
South-Tek Systems is delighted to be chosen as a supplier of nitrogen for use in a large research project at a major university in Georgia. This project consisted of both a nitrogen generator and high pressure booster, which allowed for nitrogen to be delivered at the required pressure of 2,000 psi. The nitrogen generator was placed […]
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 […]
