On Site Gas Helps You Explore the Future of Mining at 2016 MINExpo INTERNATIONAL®

,

MINExpo_Logo
As the need for energy, metals, and minerals continues to grow, innovative technologies, new products, imaginative services and the implementation of proven techniques have become crucial for the mining industry.
The 2016 MINExpo® is geared toward informing mining companies about solutions that address new challenges, and also for them to take advantage of numerous opportunities. One such solution is the ability to use an on-site nitrogen generator and/or oxygen generator to eliminate the need for expensive, unreliable gas delivery.
On Site Gas Systems will be available at the 2016 MINExpo®. The MINExpo® runs from Sept. 26 to Sept. 28. Please visit us at Booth #27429.

The Benefits of an On-Site Oxygen and/or Nitrogen Generator

The nitrogen generators and oxygen generators available at On Site Gas Systems are designed to meet the specific needs of each client. A generator’s customized features may include purity levels, pressure and flow requirements. And our clients receive these customized features along with the convenience of never running out of gas, which eliminates productivity loss due to a delayed delivery:
The majority of On Site Gas Systems’ clients receive these benefits for less than the cost of delivered gas. And as a leader in the industry of nitrogen pressure swing adsorption, membrane and oxygen generating technology, we are dedicated to the research and development of new, cost efficient solutions for our clients.

Reasons to Attend This Year’s MINExpo INTERNATIONAL®

At this year’s MINExpo INTERNATIONAL®, engineers, managers and officers will have more than 800,000 square feet to explore. Services and products showcased at the 2016 MINExpo INTERNATIONAL® will help mining companies remain competitive, increase their productivity, improve safety, control their overhead costs and manage risk factors.

On-site Nitrogen Generators: Ideal for Winemaking

On-site Nitrogen GeneratorsToday it’s common practice to use inert gas during winemaking, but questions remain as to the correct use of nitrogen during the process. When wine is exposed to oxygen, its quality, stability and longevity are negatively affected. For this reason, winemakers use nitrogen in the ullage of wine containers to avoid oxidation, which leads to spoilage. Due to wine’s low solubility, nitrogen is the preferred inert gas for the winemaking process.
Nitrogen’s ability to eliminate oxygen prevents it from affecting the quality of the wine. And using nitrogen gas from a nitrogen generator from On Site Gas Systems can eliminate concerns related to oxygen exposure throughout the winemaking process.

Nitrogen Gas in Winemaking

Prolonged exposure to oxygen causes wine to turn into a vinegary substance, which is created as oxygen converts ethyl alcohol in wine to acetic acid. Winemakers use nitrogen at multiple points during the winemaking process to prevent this degeneration from occurring.
Use a nitrogen generator to prevent oxygen exposure throughout the winemaking process for:

  • Flushing: Nitrogen collected by generator is used to flush filter housing pumps, hoses, and to fill bowl directly before bottling begins.
  • Blanketing: Nitrogen from generator is applied to a vessel as a means to displace oxygen in the headspace of partially filled barrels, tanks, or bottles.
  • Sparging: This process refers to the practice of applying nitrogen from generator in the form of extremely small gas bubbles. This process removes any oxygen the wine has dissolved.

Specific Uses for Nitrogen Use During WineMaking Process

Nitrogen is used during bottling, transfer, and storage. By forming a nitrogen blanket during bottling, contact between oxygen and the surface of the wine is reduced, which prevents the development of bacteria and other microorganisms.

Transferring Wine

When preparing to move wine between containers, preventing exposure to oxygen requires flushing out hoses and blanketing the vessels by pumping nitrogen through them. Wine may also need to be sparged to remove any extant oxygen.

Topping

This process replaces evaporated wine by flushing nitrogen into the barrel’s ullage. At this stage of processing, nitrogen will blanket wine to eliminate oxygen.

Bottling

When bottling wine, oxidation is a concern due to turbulence when mixing wine and air during the filling process. To ensure the integrity of wine, it is essential to flush bottles with nitrogen before and after filling.
Nitrogen generators from On Site Gas Systems provide cost effective and efficient solutions for manufacturers to prevent oxidation during the winemaking process. On-site nitrogen generators eliminate the need for expensive contracts, as well as handling high pressure nitrogen cylinders.
On Site Gas Systems nitrogen generators are safe, reliable, and easy to operate. And they allow you to generate nitrogen on-site so you will never run out of nitrogen again.
Our systems are used all around the world, including remote locations with harsh climates.
