Air treatment applications

Textile industry

From the extravagant outfits of fashion models to the onesies of babies, nearly every human being wears clothes. Therefore, it is no surprise that the textile industry is such an important part of our economy. And just as textiles play a crucial role in our lives, high-quality compressed air plays a crucial role in their production.

Pharmaceutical industry

The pharmaceutical sector is among the most highly regulated industries. For good reason. The products manufactured in pharmaceutical plants can ease suffering and save lives. To do so, however, their production must meet stringent quality standards. And that begins with very clean compressed air.

Food & beverage

Food and beverages are vital in the truest sense of the word. And just as our body needs them to keep going, their producers need high-quality compressed air. After all, they must ensure that the things we eat and drink are safe to consume and that they taste good. Stringent compressed air standards for food industry apply.

Cement production

Just like compressed air, cement can be found all around us. Our modern world would be unimaginable without either. Therefore, it makes sense that compressed air plays an important role in the making of cement. However, quality standards do apply for compressed air for cement production. That's because untreated compressed air can compromise the final product.

Nitrogen applications

Laser cutting

Laser cutting is a very popular technology that allows metal fabricators and the manufacturers of original equipment to cut metal sheets quickly and precisely. Nitrogen plays a crucial role in this process. To ensure that they always have a steady supply of high-quality nitrogen available, laser cutting professionals rely on Pneumatech.

Coffee Production

Coffee is among the world’s most popular beverages. However, even small problems during its production process can greatly impact its taste. That’s because once the bean is roasted and ground, it starts to age and its freshness starts to decline. That is why nitrogen for coffee production is so important.

Breweries

Brewing beer is a time-honored tradition that requires expertise, carefully selected ingredients, and the right equipment. Nitrogen plays a key role in this process, especially in packaging and in tank purging. That is why it is crucial to have access to top-quality nitrogen for breweries.

3D Printing

Nitrogen plays an essential role in additive manufacturing, which is more commonly known as 3D printing. This technology allows lighter and stronger parts and systems to be created with a 3D printer joining materials, e.g. metal, typically layer by layer.

Lithium-ion battery production

Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries play an essential role in the global economy, and nitrogen plays an important role in their production. One of the most important uses for these rechargeable batteries is in electric cars. It is one of the ways they are helping to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

Tire Inflation

Did you know that using nitrogen for tire inflation has a lot of advantages? Compared to inflating tires with air, using N2 benefits the tire, fuel consumption, and vehicle safety. And the best way to get that nitrogen is to simply produce your own.

Winemaking

Nitrogen has been widely used by winemakers in processes that involve both the production cycle and wine preservation. The main aim of using nitrogen is to prevent oxidation, thus stopping the organoleptic properties of the wine from changing, and inhibiting the growth of unwanted bacteria.

Spray painting

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. This also applies to spray painting. Any type of blemish or imperfection instantly diminishes the value of the entire job. To ensure that doesn’t happen, more and more spray painting professionals are turning to nitrogen.

Laboratories & scientific applications

Nitrogen is an inert gas that does not react with many other substances. That makes it particularly useful for scientific laboratories and research institutes. They rely on nitrogen for, among other things, the protection of sensitive substances and processes, purging and blanketing, calibration, and gas chromatography.

Oxygen applications

Aquaculture

Aquaculture refers to the farming of aquatic organisms, such as (primarily) fish, crustaceans and algae. This growth industry has the potential of addressing the world’s increasing food demand. Oxygen plays a key role in aquaculture as it helps keep the fish alive and healthy.

Biogas

Biogas is an up-and-coming renewable source of energy. It is produced by taking waste from households or businesses and turning it into a green fuel that can be used to generate gas, electricity and heat. Oxygen plays an important role in this process.

Hyperbaric Oxygen

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an increasingly popular treatment for various injuries and illnesses – from multiple sclerosis to sports injuries. Patients usually spend about an hour in a pressurized chamber where they breathe high-purity oxygen through a mask.

Ozone Production

Ozone is a highly reactive and oxidizing gas that is used in many water treatment processes – from drinking water applications, pools and aquariums, aquaculture and the food and pharmaceutical sectors. It kills viruses and bacteria, removes chemicals and improves water quality.
