There is no greater luck than having so much of something so useful.
At Air Energy, we make use of nitrogen’s less biological functions, of which there are plenty. We supply and install nitrogen generators for various companies in various industries. If you want to get an idea of how much nitrogen plays into the products and services you use every single day, just refer to the following list:
Stainless steel is a standard material not only for buildings but also many other products. To manufacture stronger, more corrosion-resistant stainless steel, companies incorporate nitrogen into the manufacturing processes they use.
Nitrogen is widely used in lasers and laser cutting by industry.
Nitrogen is used in case hardening of steel by nitriding.
Nitrogen is used in fire suppression equipment.
Nitrogen is used for inflating aircraft and race car tyres.
From diodes to transistors to integrated circuits, nitrogen is involved in the creation of various electrical components.
Nitrogen may be harmless by itself, but companies can use it to produce a variety of unstable and highly reactive compounds such as nitrogen triiodide, ammonium nitrate, trinitrotoluene (TNT), nitric acid, and nitro-glycerine.
Given nitrogen’s aforementioned role in plant growth, it is no surprise that farmers resorted to enriching their fertilisers with nitrogen to further increase their yield.
Those nitrogen-dependent plants are not the versatile element’s only way to your plate. Nitrogen is important in keeping packaged foods fresh, delaying rancidity and other forms of damage due to oxygen exposure.
Argon is no longer the element of choice when it comes to manufacturing light bulbs. At some point along the way, companies discovered nitrogen as the superior, inexpensive substitute.
Most of today’s medicines including antibiotics contain some amount of nitrogen. You are also probably familiar with nitrous oxide, an anaesthetic agent dentists commonly use.
Air Energy supplies nitrogen generators along with a comprehensive range of pumps, compressed air equipment, and industrial pipework. Contact us to learn more.
