Nitrogen Uses



More nitrogen is used by customers than any other industrial gas. Nitrogen is used to produce ammonia – via the Haber process – and fertilizers. In enhanced oil recovery (EOR), high-pressure nitrogen is used to force crude oil out of wells, hydrocarbons that would otherwise not be recovered.

Because of its inert qualities, nitrogen’s used in the chemical and petroleum industries to blanket storage tanks to help lower the risks of explosions and fires. In fact, safety is top-of-mind on oil and gas sites all over the world. Using nitrogen ensures safety in situations where an inert atmosphere is absolutely necessary.
