Nitrogen gas is used across many industries, including food preservation, electronics manufacturing, and oil and gas processing. Another area where nitrogen proves useful is in laser cutting operations. This article explains how nitrogen contributes to precision cutting, prevents oxidation, and improves operational output in both laser and plasma cutting. What is Laser Cutting? Laser cutting […]
Nitrogen is a vital industrial gas in marine and offshore applications. It is used to create inert environments, reduce fire risk, and maintain system reliability. Unlike nitrogen delivery methods, onboard generation offers continuous access to nitrogen without logistical dependencies. Inside Marine Nitrogen Generators Marine nitrogen generators use either membrane or Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) systems […]
Air compressors are practical applications of Charles’ Law. This process turns power (electric power that pumps air) into potential energy in the form of pressurized air and kinetic energy to expel the gas or air. Many industries require air compressors to carry out various processes in their plants. What is SCFM in Air Compressors? Standard […]
Nitrogen gas is a vital naturally occurring resource used in diverse commercial and industrial applications, including food and beverage manufacturing. Packing foods with nitrogen has been proven to be an effective method of prolonging their shelf lives. In this article, we will discuss nitrogen food preservation methods, as well as the benefits of nitrogen gas […]
Nitrogen is one of the most abundant naturally occurring elements in nature. In its compound form, it can be used in industrial applications from medicine to food manufacturing to oil and gas production. In this article, we will consider how nitrogen is made on an industrial basis. The Main Methods of Nitrogen Gas Generation The […]
Installing anindustrial air compressor sets the stage for reliable, efficient performance throughout a facility. It involves careful consideration of airflow demand, system configuration, ambient environment, and how the unit ties into existing operations. At NiGen, we approach installation as a key part of the compressed air system’s lifecycle – something that influences pressure stability, energy […]
In many industrial processes, controlling moisture and oxygen levels is key to protecting product quality. Water vapor and oxidation can cause serious damage, making it important for manufacturers to manage these risks. One common solution is nitrogen purging. What is Nitrogen Purging? Nitrogen purging is a method used to clear out unwanted gases or substances […]
Sandblasting is an effective way to remove rust, paint, and other coatings from a variety of surfaces. It is usually a time-consuming and messy process, but with the right equipment, it can also be incredibly smooth. One of the most important pieces of equipment for sandblasting is the air compressor. Without it, the sandblaster won’t […]
Due to its inert nature, gaseous nitrogen can be used in various purging, blanketing, and flushing operations. Depending on the process involved, different grades of nitrogen purity are needed to fulfill unique manufacturing needs. This article discusses the categories of nitrogen gas for industrial use and their appropriateness for different manufacturing processes. What is Nitrogen Purity? Nitrogen […]
Air compressors keep industries running, from powering tools to supporting industrial processes. But overheating is a common issue that can hurt efficiency, lead to expensive air compressor repairs, or even cause system failure. This guide breaks down how air compressors work, why they overheat, what happens when they do, and the warning signs to catch […]
