Nitrous Oxide Plants
Our Nitrous Oxide plants are very safe and economical plants with an efficient Generation system which reduces power consumption and adds on to safety. A storage battery assembly for separation of Nitrogen is another safety feature with the Universal plant. The gas manufactured conforms to Indian Pharmacopia, US & European standards and is stored in liquid state which can be directly filled into cylinders.
PRODUCTION PROCESS
Nitrous Oxide Plants
Nitrous Oxide Plants
Nitrous Oxide is produced by heating Ammonium Nitrate to a temperature of 250 Deg.c. Ammonium Nitrate is decomposed in the process to give a mixture of Nitrous Oxide & super heated steam. At the same time impurities are produced including Ammonium Nitrate fumes, Nitrogen & other oxides of Nitrogen. The steam & impurities are removed by scrubbing with water, caustic soda and sulfuric acid in sequence Nitrogen present in traces is removed by bleeding from the top of storage vessels where Nitrous Oxide is stored, after compression by a compressor. Capacities 8 - 24 cum/hr.
USES
Nitrous oxide gas is mainly used for anesthetic purposes. It is administered with oxygen. It is also used as carrier gas in laboratory Instruments. It also finds application, as a propellant in aerosols and food stuff.
PROPERTIES OF NITROUS OXIDE

Nitrous Oxide Plants
Nitrous Oxide is a chemical compound of Nitogen and Oxygen. Its Chemical symbol is N20.

It is colourless, non flammable and nontoxic gas with a slightly sweetish taste & odour. The most common way of distributing Nitrous oxide is as a compressed liquid in Cylinders of the same kind, as used for oxygen, Nitrogen etc. The pressure in Nitrous oxide cylinders is approximately 50 Bars at 20oC

It is stable and comparatively un-reactive chemical compound at ordinary temperatures. At elevated temperatures, however, the gas decomposes to Nitrogen & Oxygen.

It supports combustion and hence organic substances particularly oil and greases which are petrochemical in nature must be kept away from the gas.
