ALPHA OVERSEAS: WHERE YOU &
QUALITY ARE PRIORITIES
NITROUS OXIDE GAS PLANT ( PRODUCT CODE : AO - 04106 )
Process Description
Nitrous Oxide is produced by heating Ammonium Nitrate to a temperature of 250 Deg.c. Ammonium Nitrate is decomposed in the process to give a mixture of Nitrous Oxide & super heated steam. At the same time impurities are produced including Ammonium Nitrate fumes, Nitrogen & other oxides of Nitrogen. The steam & impurities are removed by scrubbing with water, caustic soda and sulphuric acid in sequence Nitrogen present in traces is removed by bleeding from the top of storage vessels where Nitrous Oxide is stored, after compression by a compressor.
Nitrous Oxide plant from ALPHA OVERSEAS is a plant with an efficient Generation system which reduces power consumption and adds on to safety. A storage battery assembly for separation of Nitrogen is another safety feature with the ALPHA OVERSEAS plant. The gas manufactured conforms to Indian Pharmacopia, US & European standards and is stored in liquid state which can be directly filled into cylinders.
Nitrous oxide gas is mainly used for
anesthetic purposes. It is administered with oxygen. It
is also used as carrier gas in laboratory Instruments. It
also finds application, as a propellant in aerosols and
food stuffs.

Production Process of Nitrous Oxide
It is produced by heating Ammonium Nitrate to a temperature of approximately 250 C. Heating could be either electrically or by gas. It is then purified in a series of towers before collecting in a gas holder. Gas is then Compressed by a water lubricated compressor, dried and liquefied. Liquid Nitrous oxide is stored in storage vessels where Nitrogen , if present, is removed. Pure liquid Nitrogen oxide is then filled into cylinders by weight
Uses Of Nitrous Oxide:
Nitrous oxide gas is mainly used for anesthetic purposes. It is administered with oxygen. It is also used as carrier gas in laboratory Instruments. It also finds application, as a propellant in aerosols and food stuff.
Properties Of Nitrous Oxide:
Nitrous Oxide is a chemical compound of Nitogen and Oxygen.
Its Chemical symbol is N20.
It is colourless, non flammable and nontoxic gas with a slightly sweetish taste & odour.
The most common way of distributing Nitrous oxide is as a compressed liquid in Cylinders of the same kind, as used for Oxygen, Nitrogen etc.
The pressure in Nitrous Oxide Cylinders is approximately 50 Bars at 20 C.
It is stable and comparatively un-reactive chemical compound at ordinary temperatures.
At elevated temperatures, however, the gas decomposes to Nitrogen & Oxygen.
It supports combustion and hence organic substances particularly oil and greases which are petrochemical in nature must be kept away from the gas.
Nitrous Oxide (N2O), popularly known as the laughing gas is a chemical
compound of Nitrogen and Oxygen. Administered with oxygen, Nitrous
Oxide, is also used as carrier gas in laboratory instruments and can be
used as a propellant in aerosols and food stuff, particularly for
whipped cream and as a chemical reagent in the manufacture of various
compounds. However, the gas is primarily used for anesthetic purposes.
It is colourless, non flammable and nontoxic gas with a slightly
sweetish taste & odour. <BR>
Nitrous oxide can be produced by both natural and human-related
sources. The primary source of natural production of Nitrous Oxide can
be found in a wide variety of biological sources in soil and water,
particularly microbial action in wet tropical forests. Major
human-related sources of N2O are agricultural soil management, animal
manure management, sewage treatment, mobile and stationary combustion of
fossil fuel, acid production, and 'Nitrous Oxide Gas Plants'.<BR>
The Process of producing Nitrous Oxide involves melting and decomposing
of Ammonium Nitrate by heating to a temperature of approximately 2500 -
2600 C. It gives mixture of nitrous oxide and super-heated steam.
Further, the steam and impurities are removed by scrubbing in turn with
water, caustic soda and finally sulphuric acid.<BR>
