Various gases are used in pharmacy. Nitrogen is mainly used during production and storage to expel oxygen so that the product or raw material can be safely processed without further attack by oxidation.
Produce on-demand nitrogen for inerting, blanketing and purging
When storing and transporting raw components for medicines - APIs - safety and product quality are of the utmost importance. That is why contact with – often humid – ambient air must be prevented so that moisture and oxidative reactions cannot affect these substances. Nitrogen is the most widely used transport/propelling gas within the pharmaceutical industry to remove oxygen-containing ambient air from pipes, processes and the storage of materials. Avilo is well aware of the qualifications that gases must meet within the pharmaceutical industry and therefore supplies installations that fully comply with the requirements of the FDA and European Pharmacopoeia.
Producing nitrogen on-site is cost-effective
Many of our customers choose an on-site gas system over traditional bulk supply for a variety of reasons such as;
- Generating your own nitrogen with an on-site system is much more cost-effective
- Lack of space for bulk storage
- A movable installation is preferred for flexibility
