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
