Bacteria can be found everywhere. They thrive in a variety of environments (including inside our own bodies), so avoiding them is nearly impossible. Most of these microorganisms are rather harmless – and some are even crucial for the survival of various ecosystems and creatures. However, certain bacteria can create dangerous infections and diseases, as well […]

Coffee dates back to the 10th century in Ethiopia. It was not until the 20th century, however, that coffee producers realized the benefits of nitrogen for their product. Nitrogen preserves coffee’s integrity and greatly extends the shelf life of the product. More and more, coffee producers are using on-site nitrogen gas generators and saving a bundle by […]

Only 12% to 15% of the original oil well can be obtained during the oil extraction process. This is due to the drive pressure produced by the oil well, which makes extraction difficult. Oil companies have adopted a number of practices, including fracturing, gas lift, and stimulation, to try and obtain the rest of this available oil. However, these methods are met with varying levels of success and face […]

When you get right down to it, almost all electronic devices we use on a day-to-day basis contain semiconductors of some kind, and nitrogen is a key component in producing them. Gases have been imperative to the electronics industry since the middle of the last century, when the earliest examples of commercial transistors and circuits began being produced on a large scale. Today, several factors are driving […]
