Nitrogen Gas in Electronics Manufacturing

,

IPC-APEX-Nitrogen-GasDuring the soldering process, engineers in the electronics manufacturing industry use nitrogen gas. Many times, nitrogen gas is ordered from an outside vendor and delivered to the worksite; however, electronics manufacturing companies should consider using an on-site nitrogen generator. These innovative nitrogen generators are more economical than the traditional purchase and delivery methods; additionally, they frequently increase productivity, all while improving the overall safety of the workplace.

On-Site Nitrogen Gas Creation Offers Electronics Manufacturers Substantial Savings and Convenience

Eliminating the need for gas delivery with on-site nitrogen generation offers electronics manufacturers substantial savings. With the ability to generate nitrogen on site, deliveries of gas in bulk liquid or in cylinder format are no longer necessary. Furthermore, staff no longer needs to be concerned about running out of gas, cylinder reconciliations or the cross checking of delivery dockets.

Benefits of On-Site Nitrogen Generation for Electronics Manufacturing

Electronics manufacturing companies that use nitrogen fed wave soldering or selective soldering techniques can benefit greatly from an on-site nitrogen generator. An on-site generator is cost efficient as well as convenient.

Systems Recommended for Restriction of Hazardous Materials (RoHS) and Surface Mount Technologies (SMT)

Here are three systems that are ideal for use with RoHS and SMT:

  1. Nitrogen PSA Generator

An on-site Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) nitrogen generator physically separates molecules. Using ordinary air, the PSA generator separates the nitrogen molecules from the oxygen molecules.

  1. Nitrogen Membrane System

This adaptable system offers ease and reliability. When the Nitrogen Membrane system arrives at its destination, our technicians put it online. The nitrogen membrane system is versatile, which allows us to match N2 membrane generators to meet each clients’ compression equipment specifications.

  1. On-Site Nitrogen Filling Stations Are More Economical Than Purchasing Bottled Gas

No matter which nitrogen generator system you have, we can easily incorporate a nitrogen filling station for cylinders; thus, eliminating the need to purchase bottled-gas and wait for it to be delivered. A nitrogen fill system ensures that you always have the gas you need on hand.

Nitrogen Generation Semi-Conductors

Nitrogen inerting has been used by semi-conductor producers and component level manufacturers for years. N2 membrane generators permit a larger process window while providing the safety of minimal oxygen.

N2 Inert Gas Generation for Selective Soldering

Many solder applications use high purity nitrogen to reduce surface tension and dross on solder pots: This allows for a clean break from the solder site. The purities attained with on-site nitrogen generation usually range from 99.99 percent to 99.9995 percent. This high-purity nitrogen is also ideal for lead-free soldering applications. An N2 filling station conveniently provides engineers with the nitrogen they need, minus delivery fees and concerns about running short.
Engineers benefit from a larger process arena when controlled nitrogen atmospheres are utilized in wave, reflow, rework and selective applications. In addition, while the solder completes surface wetting, nitrogen helps to increase the strength of the bond.

The Electronics Manufacturing Industry Can Benefit Greatly from On-Site Nitrogen Generation

When compared to purchasing cylinder or liquid gas, nitrogen generation offers a variety of benefits, including its:

  • Ease of use – No special skills required – No contracts to sign
  • Increased safety measures – No need to move heavy, high pressure cylinders
  • Lower cost – No concerns related to gas price increases – No delivery or rental fees – lowest cost per m3 is possible
  • Dependability
  • Low maintenance costs
  • Quickly pays for itself

Benefits of On-site Nitrogen Generators in the Oil and Gas Industry

,

Nitrogen Generators in Oil and Gas Industry
Thanks to its odorless and non-reactive properties, nitrogen gas has many uses in the oil and gas industry. From moving materials through pipelines at refineries to re-pressurizing depleted oil wells and serving as a gas barrier to prevent explosions, on-site nitrogen generators can increase production and improve job-site safety.  Here are some of the many benefits to an on-site nitrogen generator:

Nitrogen Generators Reduce Downtime While Increasing Production

With on-site nitrogen generators, companies in the oil and gas industry are able to make their own nitrogen gas on-demand, which can eradicate unnecessary downtime and improve production rates. Additionally, an on-site nitrogen generator eliminates the need for constant nitrogen gas tank deliveries.

Nitrogen Generators Can be Easily Moved or Expanded

Another tremendous benefit of on-site nitrogen generators to the oil and gas industry is their capability to be easily moved from location to another (stationary nitrogen generators are also available, if preferred). The nitrogen generators are fully automated and simply require an electrical outlet to get started. Their maintenance is minimal and their operation is easy. Furthermore, nitrogen generators can be expanded and/or upgraded in the future, helping companies in the oil and gas industry grow as demand increases.

Nitrogen Generators Keep Worksites Safer

In the oil and gas industry, safety is always a concern. With on-site nitrogen generators, safety concerns can be greatly reduced in a variety of situations where an inert atmosphere is required. If that’s not enough, on-site nitrogen generators also eliminate the need for high-pressure cylinders to be handled and stored – another great benefit within such sensitive and sometimes dangerous environments.

Visit Us at the Gastech Conference & Exhibition to Learn More

If you are in the oil and gas industry, the Gastech Conference and Exhibition in Singapore is right around the corner – taking place from October 27-30, 2015. It is your chance to find out about the latest innovations in the industry, such as our on-site nitrogen generators.
Experts from On Site Gas Systems will be available to answer any and all of your questions about nitrogen generators and how they apply to the oil and gas industry. Our nitrogen generators can be seen at jobsites worldwide, and it’s time to put one to work for your company.
If you are planning to attend the Gastech Conference & Exhibition and would like to make an appointment, or have any questions, please email Robert Wolff at rwolff@on-sitegas.com.
