Onsite gas generation tailored to your needs
How does a nitrogen generator work?
To produce your own nitrogen, all you need is a compressor and a nitrogen generator. Thatβs because air consists of 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. When you feed compressed air into a nitrogen generator, it separates the N2 from the O2. There are two main technologies to produce nitrogen:
PSA technology
Utilizing PSA technology, Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) effectively isolates nitrogen from compressed
air by utilizing adsorbent materials. By passing the air through a vessel containing Carbon Molecular Sieves (CMS), the oxygen is captured,
allowing only nitrogen of up to 99.999% purity to exit. PSA generators are well-suited for applications requiring high-flow and high-purity
nitrogen.
Membrane technology
Membrane technology is a very simple, reliable and continuous N2 production method.
Compressed air is pushed through hollow polymer membranes. The oxygen in the air escapes through the fiber walls and permeates into the
atmosphere. This leaves quality nitrogen with a purity between 95% and 99.5% at the generator outlet.
