NITROUS OXIDE GAS PLANT

KVK Nitrous Oxide Plant or laughing gas plant is manufactured under strict supervision of experienced engineers, which is not only safe to operate but also economical, as it consumes less power and material. The gas manufactured conforms to Indian pharmacopeia and is stored in liquid nitrous oxide plant, which can be directly filled into cylinders.

Special features of KVK Nitrous Oxide Plant

Electrically heated pots with temperature Controllers. Purification system for removal of impurities. Regeneration facility. Laboratory and quality control. Equipment safety systems.

Consumables

Ammonium Nitrate Electric power - 100 HP. Water cooling facility Good quality water supply.

Process Description
Nitrous Oxide is produced by heating Ammonium Nitrate to a temperature of approx. 250 deg.c. Ammonium Nitrate is decomposed in the process to give a mixture of Nitrous Oxide and super heated steam. Impurities include Ammonium Nitrate fumes, Nitrogen and other oxides of Nitrogen. The steam and impurities are removed by scrubbing with water, caustic soda and sulfuric acid. Nitrogen present in traces is removed by bleeding from the top of storage vessels, where Nitrous Oxide in liquid state is stored after compression.

Properties of Nitrous Oxide
Nitrous Oxide is a chemical compound of Nitrogen and Oxygen. Its chemical name is N2O.
It is a colourless, non flammable, nontoxic gas with slightly sweetish taste and odour. Well-known method of distributing Nitrous Oxide is as compressed liquid in cylinders of approved design.
It keeps combustion, therefore organic oils and greases of petrochemical nature be kept away from Nitrous Oxide gas.

Uses of Nitrous Oxide Gas
Nitrous oxide gas is mainly used for anesthetic purposes. It is also used as carrier gas, propellant for aerosols and food stuff.
