Industrial Nitrogen Market | Regional Overview, Share Estimation, Revenue, and Business Prospect
Market Overview Industrial nitrogen is obtained in compressed gas or liquid form through the fractional distillation or mechanical separation of air. The product is widely used as a high-pressure gas in the steel industry for laser cutting of steel and other metals. The use of this gas provides a high-quality edge and prevents the corrosion of steel. In addition, it is used in brazing and welding. Moreover, industrial nitrogen finds application in the food & beverage, healthcare, and agrochemicals industries, among others. Based on process, the global industrial nitrogen market has been divided into fractional distillation, membrane separation, and pressure swing adsorption (PSA). The PSA segment is expected to lead the market during the forecast period. In this process, high pressure is applied so the gases are attracted to solid surfaces called adsorbents. For nitrogen separation, a zeolite bed is used as the adsorbent as it attracts nitrogen more strongly than other gases.
