Benefits of nitrogen generators

The nitrogen generator can be used in a wide range of activities, from medical research, where it is useful in producing medicines or studying bacteria and viruses, to industry, where it is used to produce different kinds of beverages. In laboratory studies, the nitrogen generator requires no particular attention because it uses simple electromechanical components such as pressure vessels and valves with a history of reliability in laboratory applications. Since the nitrogen generator simply separates air into its constituent parts, it has no adverse environmental effects. Gas generators are also safer than high pressure tanks, as the nitrogen generator typically operates at a low pressure in the neighborhood of 100 psig and stores small volumes of compressed gas. In medicine, temperature-controlled nitrogen delivered by a nitrogen generator can be used to preserve protein samples that require special conditions and manipulation. Nitrogen generators are reliable and thus offer a great contribution to laboratory studies. In industry, nitrogen generators are used nowadays in the production of beer. Brewing is an art form with a rich culture and history and people are appreciating it more with each passing year. The proper care of the product and the design, building, and maintaining of draft systems will enhance the quality of beer the customer receives. It will ultimately improve sales and profits for the entire industry. Mixed gas is an important part of any high quality long draw draft system. Many beers use nitrogen as an ingredient. The Guinness brewers dissolve nitrogen in the beer, which improves the beer's quality. Nitrogen generators available today ease the work of such brewers. Nitrogen generators filter relatively pure N2 from air and can be a very economical source of Nitrogen. They can be built or used with a blending device and a CO2 source to provide all the gas for any bar or facility. The right blend between CO2 and Nitrogen will protect the quality of beer, prevent or reduce foaming or flat beer and thus save money. Properly used, a nitrogen generator is the best tool in the draft technician's bag of tricks.
