USES AND APPLICATIONS OF NITROGEN GAS AND LIQUID NITROGEN BY INDUSTRY
Aerospace & Aircraft
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.
​
Autoclave Inerting
Heat Treating
Automotive & Transportation Equipment
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.
​
Heat Treating
Parts Manufacturing
Chemicals
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.
​
Intering
Nitrogen Stripping & Recovery
Reactor Cooling
VOC Treatment & Recovery
​
Energy
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 Stripping & Recovery
VOC Treatment & Recovery
​
Food & Beverage
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.
​
Freezing & Chilling
Flour & Dough Cooling
Meat Mixing
​
Healthcare
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.
​
Medical Laboratory
Minimally Invasive Cryotherapy
Tissue Transport & Blood Platelet Preservation
​
Metal Production
A carrier and purge gas in steel production, nitrogen is used to prevent oxidation and is a key component in the heat-treating process.
​
Heat Treating
Inerting
​
Oil & Gas
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.
​
Enhanced Oil Recovery
Well Hydraulic Fracturing
​
Pharmaceutical & Biotechnology
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.
​
Reactor Cooling
Lyophilization
ControLyo™ Nucleation on Demand
VOC Treatment & Recovery
​
Refining
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.
​
VOC Treatment & Recovery
​
Welding & Metal Fabrication
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.

LIQUID NITROGEN & NITROGEN GAS (N2) SUPPLY: TANKS, DEWAR FLASKS, CONTAINERS & CYLINDERS
Cylinders & Liquid Containers
For smaller, more specialized applications, we offer nitrogen in high-pressure gas cylinders or liquid nitrogen dewars in a variety of sizes.
​
Pipeline
Our pipeline supply systems offer flexibility, economy and extraordinarily reliable supply for customers who consume very large volumes of nitrogen gas each day.
​
Bulk & Minibulk Delivery
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.
​
On-site Production
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.
