The Facts about High Pressure Nitrogen Boosters

There are numerous industries with applications that require high pressure nitrogen. Many companies are currently using high pressure cylinders/ dewars for these applications. Some of those applications are laser cutting; auto claves; aircraft tire filling and pressure testing of valves or tubing/ coils. However, there may be a better solution. A way to eliminate this problem is to incorporate high pressure nitrogen boosters in house. There are typically two ways to boost the nitrogen pressure from a nitrogen generator. Air-operated nitrogen boosters and Reciprocating nitrogen boosters can help to generate high pressure nitrogen.

Air-Operated Nitrogen Boosters

Advantages:

1. No oil necessary

2. Air operated – no electricity used

3. Ideal for dangerous areas since no electricity is required.

Reciprocating Nitrogen Boosters

There are both oil free and oil lubricated units available. The application the industry requires specifically will dictate which system is best suited for that industry’s application.

Advantages:

1.  Designed for constantly active applications

2.  Best suited for industries with high flow applications

Nitrogen Generators Leave a Smooth Finish on the Beer Dispensing Industry

The beer industry is one of the most common industries that utilize nitrogen generators. Nitrogen can assist in preservation and a high quality product especially when it comes to draught systems.  In order to maintain these two very important factors in the draught process, a mixture of carbon dioxide and nitrogen is required. Nitrogen generators can allow you to can keep the beer as pure as possible – it is extremely accurate and cost efficient. 

Dark coloured or cream ale beers rely on nitrogen to achieve the perfect presentation. This makes the beer have a foamy appearance on the top and a smooth taste.

Specialty Gas Prices On the Rise!

As of the 1st March (2011), the largest U.S. distributor of industrial, medical, and specialty gases will increase prices. 

The prices will be rising 10-12% on average, and up to 10% for delivery and other service charges. Cylinder and bulk tank rental rates will increase 8-10% effective 1st March 2011, or as contracts permit.


The price increases are in response to higher fuel, power, and labor and benefit costs as well as steel prices which are driving up the costs on cylinders and bulk tanks.


This increase is on top of the July price increases of 6-9%.
