Nitrogen

Inert and nonflammable gas for the chemical industry

Nitrogen is valued both as a gas for its inert properties and a liquid for cooling and freezing. Because nitrogen is an inert gas (and does not easily react with most materials), it protects sensitive materials and prevents fires and explosions.

Our experienced applications teams across the globe can use their industry and application knowledge to provide you with a nitrogen supply and technology solution to meet your unique needs.

Overview

Nitrogen is the most common gas supplied to the chemical industry as the safety and the quality of products may rely on its use. Common uses of nitrogen are:

Nitrogen can provide benefits such as:

  • Helping to eliminate the potential for fire of explosion be reducing oxygen content in a space or tank
  • Preventing air, moisture, and other contaminants from entering tanks or storage containers
  • Protecting sensitive materials from quality degradation

THE CASE FOR NITROGEN INERTING OF FLAMMABLE AND COMBUSTIBLE LIQUIDS

Protection against gas, oxygen, and ignition coming together unexpectedly, explosively.
