Environmental Benefits

Reduce your carbon footprint by eliminating the transportation and storage of nitrogen gas.

Our Nitrogen Generator Solutions

N-GEN PSA Nitrogen Generators

N-GEN nitrogen generators use Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to extract nitrogen from ambient air. Compressed, purified air passes through a molecular sieve, which adsorbs unwanted gases while allowing nitrogen to flow through. The sieve regenerates by releasing adsorbed gases when pressure drops, ensuring continuous production.

To maintain a steady nitrogen supply, two sieve beds alternate between adsorption and regeneration. Industrial nitrogen can also be produced using membrane technology or cryogenic distillation, with the best method depending on purity, volume, and usage needs.

N-GEN Nitrogen Generators Features:

Operating pressure:6-10 bar
Operating temperature range:to 50 °C
Ambient air temperature range:up to 40 °C
Dew points (atmospheric):< -45 °C
Capacity:0,83 to 766,8 Nm3/h
Purity:up to 99,999 %

Nitrogen Generator FAQs

How does a nitrogen generator work?

Nitrogen generators operate on principles such as pressure swing adsorption (PSA) or membrane separation. In PSA, air is passed through a bed of adsorbent material, which selectively captures oxygen and other trace gases, allowing nitrogen to pass through. Membrane separation uses semi-permeable membranes to separate nitrogen from other gases based on size and permeability.

What are nitrogen generators used for?

Industrial nitrogen generators create pure nitrogen from compressed air. They play a crucial role in food packaging, electronics, pharmaceuticals, chemicals, oil & gas, automotive, and aerospace industries. They preserve freshness, prevent oxidation, maintain product integrity, ensure safety, and enhance performance in various applications.

What are the risks of nitrogen generators?

While nitrogen generators are generally safe when operated correctly, there are potential risks associated with oxygen depletion in enclosed spaces if leaks occur or if the system malfunctions. Following proper installation, operation, and maintenance procedures is crucial to mitigate these risks and ensure safety.

How long does a nitrogen generator last?

The lifespan of a nitrogen generator depends on factors such as the type of technology used, operating conditions, and maintenance practices. Many PSA systems have a life cycle of 20 to 25 years. Membrane nitrogen generators can last up to 15 years before replacement is necessary. Regular maintenance and servicing can help extend the lifespan of the equipment.
