About Nitrous Oxide

Request for Quotation

A colorless gas found at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, Nitrous oxide gas has a sweet odor and taste. Despite its non-flammable nature, it supports combustion. When exposed to extreme temperature, the gas decomposes into impurities and oxygen. Commonly known as laughing gas, this is moderately soluble in water, alcohol and oils.

The gas has been accepted as a standard anesthetic agent for varied medical operations. Our plants are quite safe and economical, since, the generation system configured in our plant reduces the consumption of power, thereby, adding to safety. Safe & secure separation of nitrogen is ensured at our plant. We try to meet the set industrial standards while manufacturing Nitrous Oxide. They are always stored in liquid form which can be directly filled into the cylinders.

Uses of Nitrous Oxide gas:
Nitrous oxide is chiefly applied for anesthetic purposes. They are applied mainly for:

• Used as propellant in food, perfumes & cosmetics
• Cryosurgery usage
• Used as an oxide gas for atomic absorption in spectrophotometry
• As fuel oxidant for racing vehicles
• N₂O oxidizing property is helpful for microchips etching

Manufacture Process
Nitrous oxide gas is produced when ammonium nitrate is heated at a high temperature in a melter. Thereafter, the molten ammonium nitrate gets transferred into a combustion pot whereby it is decomposed as per the reaction:
NH₄NO₃ --------- N₂O + 2H₂O

Proper care must be taken during the reaction process since it might produce different gases if the temperature goes beyond a certain point.

Our plant meets the European purity standard to yield the specific nitrous oxide gas. Here, we make sure that the gases are devoid of acidic, basic and other impurities by washing them in Caustic Soda, Acid and other chemical solutions. Primary scrubber is used for condensing the steam generated during the process while ammonium nitrate's moisture & traces are separated in the mist separator. Gas balloons are used for storing gas having nitrogen. Compression, drying, refrigeration & storage in high pressure storage vessels of this specific gas follows the task. Weight is used to draw the liquid N₂O. After the refrigeration procedure, the gas is stored and later analyzed in the laboratory from each batch. The main motive behind all this is to simply ensure the proper recording of the final product's quality.
