Nitrogen is one of the most common elements in the Earth's atmosphere， and it has many industrial uses. This is because one of the most unique properties of this colorless and odorless gas is its ability to build multiple bonds with other elements and compounds. As a result， this makes compressed nitrogen very versatile， so it can be used in a variety of forms in different industries.

5 Industrial Applications of Nitrogen

While the primary industrial use of nitrogen is ammonia needed to make fertilizers， explosives and other materials， its uses extend far beyond these applications. From food packaging to pharmaceuticals， nitrogen can be found in many more places and has more uses than you may realize. Read on to learn more about a few important uses in which nitrogen plays a very important role.

Food packaging: It is common practice for food processing companies to use compressed nitrogen to replace the oxygen in perishable food packaging. Without oxygen， the shelf life of foods such as meat， fruits， vegetables and various snacks can be extended. Nitrogen also adds a cushioning layer around the food to keep it safe during transport.

Chemical overlays: Nitrogen is commonly used to prevent fires and explosions in hazardous atmospheres， such as chemical equipment or manufacturing facilities， by reducing oxygen levels below the explosion limit.

Electronics: Nitrogen is used in the process of assembling electronics when two electronic components form a permanent connection， also known as soldering. The gas is used to reduce the surface tension so that there is a cleaner break away from the electrical connection. Nitrogen is also used in the main processing systems of computers to prevent them from overheating.

Laboratories: Laboratories require a very specific environment to ensure that tests and results are performed accurately. Nitrogen is used to control oxygen levels， humidity and temperature， and to maintain the proper atmosphere for highly sensitive procedures and equipment. In addition， there is a variety of laboratory equipment that requires nitrogen for purging.

Laser cutting: Nitrogen is used as a purge gas in the steel industry. It is used as an auxiliary gas to blow away molten material to achieve stronger stainless steel or aluminized steel products that are also more resistant to corrosion.

Advantages of owning a field nitrogen generator (nitrogen generator):

Before using the nitrogen generation system on site, many enterprises in the industry have no choice but to buy nitrogen elsewhere. However, the use of on-site nitrogen generator can eliminate all the troubles related to bulk purchase of nitrogen. Our nitrogen generator is an option with the greatest benefit: the average cost of producing nitrogen by ourselves is one-third to one-half lower than the relevant cost of purchasing nitrogen. Using the on-site nitrogen generator system, there is no need to pay the freight when purchasing nitrogen. Our nitrogen generator system usually allows you to recover the cost within 18 months.

In addition to economy, the nitrogen generator system of the on-site nitrogen generator also provides:

Reliability - the nitrogen generator system, that is, the on-site nitrogen generator system, uses the surrounding air to generate nitrogen. Therefore, our customers never have to worry about the shortage of nitrogen. Reduce stress - improve safety through storage. Simple - we make it easy for people without relevant equipment experience. The visual touch screen control can control the stability of gas purity. At the same time, it can operate self diagnosis, visual operation diagram and maintenance plan reminder on the screen. Flexibility - our equipment is small and can be transported under various conditions, so as long as there is air and electricity, the equipment can operate stably anywhere. Fully automatic - once a downstream request is detected, production begins.

Why use XITE nitrogen generator?   Our nitrogen generator system provides reliable on-site nitrogen supply for various industries, which is famous in China and Southeast Asia. Our on-site nitrogen system can produce nitrogen with purity up to 99.999%. For our nitrogen generator, it can meet the nitrogen production in any place and any complex environment.
