Nitrogen, as a convenient and inexpensive inert gas, is colorless and odorless; in the pharmaceutical industry, it has extensive application value.

Similar to the preservation of food under controlled atmosphere, the main functions of nitrogen in the pharmaceutical industry include the use of nitrogen for protection in synthetic drug production, the use of pure nitrogen for isolation in bioengineering, and nitrogen filling and sealing in the production of formulations (especially sterile formulations).

There are several common applications of nitrogen in the pharmaceutical industry:

• Replacement: Replacing oxygen or air by filling with nitrogen gas to reduce the presence of oxygen. Drugs filled with nitrogen gas can delay the oxidation;

• Flame retardant: Nitrogen helps prevent combustion;

• Purging: It can replace air from the packaging before sealing, used to clean the pipeline;

• Gas transportation between containers: Nitrogen gas compressed can be used to transport liquid or powdered drugs, moving them from one container to another. This can effectively prevent drugs from coming into contact with oxygen or water vapor in the air, leading to damage to drug components and even explosions.

Why choose PSA nitrogen generator

Using a PSA nitrogen generator can save nitrogen costs, and the specific proportion of savings depends on the market price of liquid nitrogen. In addition, PSA nitrogen production can ensure that the company has the required nitrogen at the required purity level, providing strong production flexibility. Thirdly, self-produced and self-used nitrogen gas can further reduce the difficulty and cost of management because of no need considering the space required for storing nitrogen cylinders (full and empty) and the manpower required for handling cylinders.

So choosing PSA nitrogen generator as the nitrogen gas source for the pharmaceutical industry , not only it meets the requirements of nitrogen protection, pure nitrogen isolation, and nitrogen filling and sealing, but also it achieves economy and worry saving.
