Nitrogen advantages

Nitrogen is non-toxic, non-explosive and non-ozone depleting making it safe, clean and green. As a liquid, it is very cold (-196°C) similar to liquid natural gas LNG (-169°C) and is easily pumped and safely handled unlike LNG, which is explosive and must be stored under low pressure in vacuum insulated tanks.

The benefit of the new system lies in the life extension for commodities and products as it maintains moisture retention and therefore there is less food wastage.
