Based on Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology, Atlas Copco's Nitrogen Generator series provide a continuous flow of nitrogen at desired purity. 
By using Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS), oxygen is selectively separated while continuous N2 is production is ensured.

Straightforward Two-Phase Process

Nitrogen Generator

PSA Technology

Adsorption High-pressure air flows through the columns filled with Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS).  By pressurizing the vessel as such, oxygen molecules are adsorbed preferentially by the CMS while nitrogen molecules pass on thanks to their different molecular size.  The sieve continues to adsorb oxygen until a saturation point is reached.

Regeneration (desorption) The entering air stream is cutt off and the oxygen is able to leave the vessel at low pressure.  Two connected vessels work together to product a near-continuous flow of nitrogen gas.



Efficient Separation

While ordinary activated carbons are unable to separate nitrogen from the air, Carbon Molecular Sieve is a substance with discrete pore structures which can separate the molecules on the basis of their size.  Through this high absorption selectivity, Carbon Molecular Sieve allows efficient nitrogen separation.  The small oxygen molecules will penetrate the pores while the large nitrogen molecules will by-pass the carbon molecular sieve.
