Nitrogen is an inert gas that is abundant in nature. The air we breathe consists of 78% nitrogen.
Fire and explosion prevention: When oxygen-rich air is replaced with nitrogen in vessels and critical spaces, ignition is suppressed. This prevents the possibility of fires and explosions.
Nitrogen is extremely dry with a gaseous dew point of -70°F (-57°C).
USES OF NITROGEN
Because of its inert nature as well as extremely dry characteristics, nitrogen is used extensively in various industrial, oil & gas, aerospace and military applications.
Drying of vessels and pipes.
Fire and explosion prevention: When oxygen-rich air is replaced with nitrogen in vessels and critical spaces, ignition is suppressed. This prevents the possibility of fires and explosions.
Corrosion protection: Since Nitrogen is non-reactive, oxidation and other forms of corrosion can be minimized. Prevention of chemical reactions: Because nitrogen is non-reactive, undesired chemical reactions in critical processes can be prevented.
