Because nitrogen gas is "inert" (doesn't react easily), it is used to create safe environments.15 In its liquid form, it is the standard for extreme cold.16Food Preservation: Bags of chips are "flushed" with nitrogen gas to push out oxygen.17 This prevents the chips from going stale or crushing during shipping.18Fertilizers (The Haber Process): Humans learned to force nitrogen to react with hydrogen to create Ammonia (19$NH_3$).20 This is the basis of synthetic fertilizers, which currently support food production for about half the world's population.Electronics: It creates a

Nitrogen Gas is tasteless, odorless, colorless and nonflammable gas present in atmosphere at a concentration of 78.09 % by volume. It has a boiling point of -195.8°C (-320.4°F). Nitrogen Gas is produced by Cryogenic Distillation/air separation plants which condenses air and distills liquid Nitrogen. This liquid Nitrogen is further converted into gaseous Nitrogen at room temperature and is being stored in Nitrogen Gas Cylinders for further use in any Industrial application.
For some applications where continuous and high quantity of N2 gas is required to be feed, We make use of N2 gas cylinder quad which is nothing but number of cylinder interconnected and having common outlet. Due to its high availability in atmosphere and low cost, Nitrogen gas and liquid finds huge application in various processes.
