The most common in ert gas used in indu stry is nitrogen, but carbon diox ide and argon are also encountere d. Although usually no n-tox ic, in ert gase s can displace ox ygen creating an asphyxi ating atmosphere. As the common inert gases are colo urless, odourless andtasteless, they can build up in the atmosphere without the victim bei ng awa re. Th is makes them very dangerou s. Thi s article provides some guid ance on safe inert gas system design. It should be noted that t his is only an introduc tion to the subject. The reader is adv ised to seek prof ess ional support when designing an inert gas system. Why Inert Gases are Used Inert gase s are use d to create a non-react iv e atmos phere, it mus t be non-f lam mabl e and shou ld prev ent any adv erse chemical reaction. For ex am ple, prov iding an in ert environment to prev ent the decay of food. Sev eral ind us trial gases are used for inerting.
