Nitrogen is used in multiple applications every day, with organisations often relying on the gas being shipped to them in cylinders, which can prove expensive and logistically challenging for remote locations due to conditions en route and storage space, not to mention the health and safety risks for staff manually moving the cylinders from one place to another.
A nitrogen generator offers a continuous flow of the gas for industrial sectors where its vital such as food packaging and processing to keep items fresher for longer, mines and chemical plants for displacing oxygen to prevent explosions in highly dangerous atmospheres and pharmaceutical production where almost every major drug class contains some nitrogen, even antibiotics and anaesthetics. Nitrogen generators are also an environmentally friendlier way of delivery by reducing the carbon footprint associated with having cylinders transported from an off-site facility and then the return journey when they are empty.
Ensuring a reliable supply of nitrogen was why one of the world’s largest natural gas projects and the largest single resource development in Australia’s history, the Chevron-operated Gorgon Project, opted for a nitrogen generator developed by Oxair.
