Nitrogen is a beneficial instrument in every type of industry. It is utilized to inert pressurized chambers, like pipelines, gas tanks, or even caverns for the mining and oil and gas industries. Other applications are pushing oxygen and other gases like it's done in Offshore, Metal or Electronic manufacturing. The Food and Beverage and Pharmaceutical industries use these for purging and cleaning. For many, it's fundamental to maintain productivity in everyday operations.
Nitrogen can come in many shapes and forms. We're used to seeing it as small tanks or in large vessels, but each year more companies choose to generate their nitrogen using their compressed air feed. Whenever the need for nitrogen arises, we're acclimated to select which delivery option is better for use based on primary factors like flow, purity, and pressure. While each may have its advantages, other important factors relevant to the actual application will help have faster, safer, and cost-effective projects.
Jose Carendas explains how on-site nitrogen generation boosts your business results and improves cost efficiency.
