Countless businesses and industries across the country use industrial nitrogen. Learn why you should choose OSC as your next provider for industrial nitrogen in your facility.
Nitrogen is among the most popular chemical molecules for gas, manufacturing, and welding professionals today. Industrial nitrogen is optimized for several applications across various industries. We’ll take a look at the background of nitrogen, its specific uses and benefits, and nitrogen tanks.
Industrial nitrogen, or N2 gas, refers to when individual atoms bond to create diatomic molecules of nitrogen. Industrial nitrogen is the answer for your business if you aren’t looking for chemical cross reactivity between substrates. Nitrogen is a colorless, odorless, and chemically inert gas that’s beneficial in many applications.
As we mentioned earlier, hundreds of industries benefit from nitrogen in their systems. Let’s break down the different uses for industrial nitrogen:
Pharmaceutics
99% of drugs contain nitrogen molecules that play a crucial role in the synthesis production. Nitrous oxide is also a popular anesthetic agent.
Electronic Manufacturing
Nitrogen is necessary in the creation of electronic components for use in various devices. Nitrogen gas soldering ensures high-quality finishes, and industrial nitrogen is a preferred gas for metal manufacturing.
Mining Safety
Mining is a risky industry requiring numerous safety protocols. Fires and other accidents are typical within mines. Industrial nitrogen is a life saver in this industry, with the ability to put out fires by displacing oxygen from the air. Gaseous nitrogen is also used in mine abandonment to pump gas into volatile spaces.
Food and Beverage Manufacturing
All commercial food and drink production uses nitrogen gas. Especially valuable for alcohol companies, industrial nitrogen is used to produce top-quality products. It’s also commonly used for packaging to prolong the life of food.
Gas for Tire Inflation
Tire companies everywhere rely on industrial nitrogen. It provides pressure retention to inflate tires efficiently. Nitrogen-filled tires improve overall tire longevity and gas mileage.
OSC has delivered industrial nitrogen across Minnesota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas, and Iowa since 1959. Call us to confirm availability and get your supply set up.
PSA and membrane separation nitrogen machines offer greater advantages than other industrial gas solutions. Let’s check out the benefits of industrial nitrogen:
Nitrogen must be stored correctly so distributors can use it promptly. Industrial nitrogen is commonly stored in liquid forms, requiring low temperatures for preservation. Listed below are critical safety requirements for using nitrogen tanks:
