Nitrogen
Compressed Nitrogen Gas & Liquid Nitrogen
We offer liquid nitrogen and compressed nitrogen gas in a variety of purities and concentrations.
Nitrogen is valued both as a gas for its inert properties and a liquid for cooling and freezing. Virtually any industry can benefit from its unique properties to improve yields, optimize performance, and make operations safer.
The inert gas used in a variety of applications including cutting, purging, cooling and freezing
Nitrogen is a non-flammable air gas that forms 78% of the earth’s atmosphere.
Valued for its inert properties in its gaseous form, nitrogen displaces air and therefore, reduces or eliminates the oxidation of materials. It is also used as an assist gas for laser cutting. Given the extremely low temperatures of its liquid state, nitrogen is an ideal gas for cryogenic cooling and freezing.
Nitrogen can be used in virtually any industry to improve yields and optimize performance. It enables the safe storage and use of flammables and prevents the explosion of combustibles. In addition, nitrogen improves the quality and shelf-life of air-sensitive materials such as food, pharmaceuticals and electronic products.
Motukea Gas Company produce and supply both liquid and gas locally here in Papua New Guinea.
Nitrogen Gas
Nitrogen is not reactive and it is excellent for blanketing and is often used as purging gas. It can be used to remove contaminants from process streams through methods such as stripping and sparging. Due to its properties it can be used for protection of valuable products against harmful contaminants. It also enables safe storage, usage of flammable compounds and can help prevent combustible dust explosions.
The applications of nitrogen compounds are naturally extremely widely varied due to the huge size of this class: hence, only applications of pure nitrogen itself will be considered here. Two-thirds of nitrogen produced by industry is sold as the gas and the remaining one-third as the liquid. The gas is mostly used as an inert atmosphere whenever the oxygen in the air would pose a fire, explosion, or oxidising hazard.
Common Applications
- Food industry
- Light bulbs industry
- Fire suppression systems
- Tire filling systems
- Aircraft fuel systems
- Chemical analysis and chemical industry
Nitrogen Liquid
Liquid Nitrogen is nitrogen in a liquid state at an extremely low temperature. It is produced industrially by fractional distillation of liquid air. Liquid nitrogen is a colorless clear liquid. Liquid nitrogen is a compact and readily transported source of nitrogen gas without pressurization.
Liquid nitrogen has also become popular in the preparation of cocktails because it can be used to quickly chill glasses or freeze ingredients.
Applications Of Liquid Nitrogen
- applied for freezing and transport of food products,
- cryopreservation of biological samples,
- coolant for superconductors, vacuum pumps,
- used in cryotherapy to remove skin abnormalities,
- shielding materials from oxygen exposure,
- cooling materials for easier machining or fracturing.
