Nitrous Oxide Gas Plants

Nitrous Oxide Gas Plants is developed for producing gas in conformation with the Indian pharmacopoeia. The gas produced can be also stored in liquid state for direct filling into the cylinders. The nitrogen gas produced from the plant has varied applications such as in anesthesia and in aerosols and food materials as a carrier propellant.

Features :

• Electrically heated pots
• Temperature controllers
• Purification system for removal of impurities
• Regeneration facility
• Laboratory and quality control
• Equipment safety systems
• Water cooling facility

Process Description :

• Ammonium nitrate is heated at a temperature of about 2500C
• Heat decomposes ammonium nitrate into a mixture of nitrous oxide and super heated steam
• It also contains impurities such as ammonium nitrate fumes, nitrogen and other oxides of nitrogen
• Scrubbing with water, caustic soda and sulphuric acid completely removes the impurities and steam
• At top of the storage vessel, compressed nitrous oxide in liquid state is present from which nitrogen is separated easily
