Pressurized Nitrogen

Nitrogen (N₂) is a versatile gas used across a wide range of applications and industries, from pipeline pressurization to temperature management. Here at Layerfive energy, we offer compressed nitrogen in various grades specific to different applications.

Manufacturing & Metal Fabrication:

Nitrogen is used as an effective way to prevent oxidation and provides a safe, inert atmosphere that “sweeps” off gases produced by furnaces. It’s also used as an assist gas for laser cutting and enhances plasma cutting.

Energy:

Pressurized nitrogen can be used for testing of pipeline pressure, purging air, managing temperature, lightening liquids for better flow

Chemicals:

Nitrogen is also used to pressurize pipelines in order to help propel liquids and to help purge piping and equipment to prevent contamination.

Healthcare:

Vital to all sectors of the healthcare industry, nitrogen NF is a useful cryogen for freezing and preserving biological materials.

Life Sciences:

As a gas, nitrogen is used as an essential component in various life science processes as well as a protectant against oxidation and contamination. In liquid form, nitrogen is also used to achieve cryogenic temperatures in reactor cooling application.

Food Processing:

From chilling to freezing, nitrogen plays an important role throughout the entire food packaging and preservation process. In addition to its cooling properties, nitrogen also increases shelf life for food products in modified atmosphere packaging (MAP), keeping oxygen out and freshness in.

Automotive:

Nitrogen is used as both a safety component in airbags and as a versatile welding gas in automotive manufacturing. It’s used in a diverse range of assembly line tasks because it provides a good atmosphere for welding with any material. Nitrogen can also be used to inflate tires in place of compressed air which helps to maintain pressure longer and improve tire life.

Aerospace & Defense:

Using nitrogen while manufacturing quality components is a safe practice commonly used throughout the aerospace industry. An inert gas, nitrogen eliminates the presence of oxygen and secures a nonflammable environment. Nitrogen is also used in heat-treating furnaces, wind tunnels and laser-cutting applications.

Gas Properties:

Odourless and colourless. Non-toxic. Does not support combustion. An asphyxiant (does not support life). Non-reactive except at very high temperatures. Does not react with oxygen at low temperatures. Inert, dry and slightly soluble.
