Nitrogen Generation for Pharmaceutical Industry

Industrial Nitrogen Applications and Purity Standards

In the pharmaceutical industry, nitrogen is a key element due to its inert properties, serving multiple functions at different stages of production and preservation. The need for nitrogen purity varies widely, with requirements ranging from 99.5% to 99.9995%, catering to specific applications such as blanketing, inerting, and sparging. 

Blanketing: Protecting Product Integrity

Blanketing is a technique where nitrogen gas fills the headspace of storage containers to prevent oxidation and moisture intrusion. This protective layer is crucial for maintaining the quality and extending the shelf life of pharmaceutical products, ensuring their efficacy and safety. 

Inerting: Ensuring a Safe Manufacturing Environment

During the manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), inerting with nitrogen gas is employed to create a non-reactive atmosphere. This is essential for preventing dangerous reactions and minimizing the risk of fire or explosions when handling volatile substances.

Sparging: Purification Through Nitrogen

Sparging involves bubbling nitrogen through liquids to expel dissolved gases and impurities. This process is particularly beneficial in the purification of solvents and other compounds within the pharmaceutical realm, aiding in the prevention of oxidation and contamination. 

The Benefits of On-Site Nitrogen Generation

On-site nitrogen generation systems, such as those provided by specialized companies, ensure pharmaceutical operations can access high-purity nitrogen as needed. By producing nitrogen directly at the facility, companies can enjoy a constant supply of nitrogen, tailored to their specific purity requirements. These systems eliminate the risks and logistical challenges associated with handling high-pressure cylinders or liquid nitrogen deliveries, offering a safer, more cost-effective, and environmentally friendly solution.
