Commercial/Industrial Nitrogen Gas

Overview

The non-reactive, colourless, and odourless gas nitrogen is frequently employed in commercial and industrial settings. With a volume percentage of almost 78%, it is the most prevalent gas in the atmosphere of the planet. By fractionally distilling liquid air, nitrogen gas is created, which is then stored in pressurised containers for usage in various industries.

Nitrogen gas is applied commercially in the food business to assist maintain the freshness of packaged meals. Utilising nitrogen gas to purge oxygen from food packaging helps preserve the food's quality and avoid food spoiling. Nitrogen gas is employed in the production of electronics as a protective gas when delicate components are being created.

Nitrogen gas is utilised in industrial settings in the oil and gas sector to enhance oil recovery from oil wells. Oil wells are filled with nitrogen gas to speed up recovery and help remove oil from the reservoir. During the production of chemicals, nitrogen gas is also employed in the chemical industry as a protective gas and a cooling agent.
