Nitrogen Compressor Applications and Selection

Nitrogen compression serves industries from food packaging to oil and gas. Nitrogen is inert, so sealing and purity requirements drive the compressor design.

Applications

  • Food packaging with modified atmosphere.
  • Oil and gas purging and pressure testing.
  • Chemical blanketing and electronics.

Selection Factors

  • Inlet pressure and required discharge pressure.
  • Nitrogen purity and moisture content.
  • Flow rate and duty cycle.

Design Notes

  • Sealing prevents nitrogen loss and contamination.
  • Materials must suit the gas conditions.
  • Safety systems for high-pressure operation.

Why is nitrogen used in food packaging?

Nitrogen displaces oxygen to keep packaged food fresh and extend shelf life.
