Essential to the aerospace & aircraft industry, nitrogen is used in high Reynolds number wind tunnels, heat treating furnaces and autoclaves to help create incredibly strong but lightweight materials. Nitrogen is also used as an assist gas for laser cutting applications.
Assembly plants, tier 1s and tier 2s use nitrogen in combination with other welding gases to weld auto parts, frames, mufflers and other components because of its ability to provide the necessary atmosphere needed to produce adequate welds with any material. It’s also an important safety component in airbags.
Used as a pressurizing gas, nitrogen can help propel liquids through pipelines. It is also used to shield oxygen-sensitive materials from the air and to remove volatile organic chemicals from process streams.
As an inert industrial gas, nitrogen is used as a blanketing agent to separate sensitive products and processes from air. It is also used as a purging agent in piping and equipment to prevent contamination.
Nitrogen is a key cryogenic agent in cooling, chilling and food freezing. Because of its extremely cold temperatures, immersion freezing in liquid nitrogen is the fastest freezing method known for producing Individually Quick Frozen (IQF) foods. Nitrogen also plays a key role in reducing spoilage, discoloration and off–flavors, giving strength to retail packaging.
Nitrogen NF is used as a cryogen to freeze and preserve blood, tissue, and other biological specimens, and to freeze and destroy diseased tissue in cryosurgery and dermatology. It is also used to power medical devices.
A carrier and purge gas in steel production, nitrogen is used to prevent oxidation and is a key component in the heat-treating process.
The oil and natural gas industry utilizes nitrogen to increase reservoir reserves and fracture hydrocarbon-bearing formations to significantly increase the production of oil and gas, and to improve operating efficiency.
Gaseous nitrogen is commonly used for purging, pressure transferring, mixing and blanketing — protecting a process from moisture intrusion, oxidation, degradation and contamination. Cryogenic liquid nitrogen is used to control the temperature in reactor cooling applications and to preserve biological samples.
An industrial gas used to blanket storage tanks and purge pipelines, nitrogen can also strip Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) from chemical process streams and wastewater, and reduce VOC emissions.
In stainless steel tube welding, nitrogen is used as a purge gas. It is also used as an assist gas for laser cutting, and enhances plasma cutting.
For smaller, more specialized applications, we offer nitrogen in high-pressure gas cylinders or liquid nitrogen dewars in a variety of sizes.
Our bulk gas and liquid delivery systems offer a full range of purities and nitrogen tank sizes, for your supply needs. We also offer Microbulk gas delivery as an alternative to cylinders.
Our fleet of mobile nitrogen pump trucks and tube trailers deliver a continuous, dedicated supply of 99.9+% pure nitrogen at a wide range of temperatures, pressures and flow rates.
Our pipeline supply systems offer flexibility, economy and extraordinarily reliable supply for customers who consume very large volumes of nitrogen gas each day.
If you require very large volumes of high-purity liquid nitrogen or nitrogen gas our on-site cryogenic air separation plants are a viable supply source for you. Praxair non-cryogenic nitrogen plants offer a range of product purities, 90% and higher, over a wide range of volumes. Our plants are efficient, reliable and cost-effective at any required pressure and purity level.
