NGP70+ nitrogen gas generation

Nitrogen gas generators

Explore our wide range of reliable, high-purity, on-site nitrogen gas generator equipment.

Reliable gas supply

Stop relying on third-party suppliers for your nitrogen supply. Make your own with a nitrogen gas generator and experience 24/7 availability of gas. It is simple, reliable and durable.

Cost-effective

Creating your gas on-site ensures no expensive processing, refill and deliveries. It also removes the costly possibility of downtime due to a lack of gas.

Plug-and-play

Our gas generators come ready to use. All that is required is a supply of compressed air. There is no need for costly installations.

Membrane nitrogen gas generator

A membrane nitrogen generator extracts the N₂ in the air supplied by a compressor so that it can be used for professional applications. The compressed air is pushed through a membrane filled with hollow fibers. Oxygen and water vapor dissipate through the fiber walls and are vented out. This leaves only the very dry nitrogen inside the fibers, pushed out on the other end of the membrane, ready for you to use.

What is membrane nitrogen generation?

PSA nitrogen generators

Another way of generating nitrogen is through Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA). PSA technology is the ideal and easiest method if you have an industry that requires very high purity levels. Pressure Swing Adsorption separates nitrogen molecules from oxygen molecules by trapping oxygen from the compressed air stream using adsorption. Adsorption takes place when molecules bind themselves to an adsorbent, in this case, the oxygen molecules attach to a carbon molecular sieve.

PSA Gas Generation | How does it work?

Nitrogen gas purifier

A nitrogen gas purifier is designed to enhance the purity of nitrogen generated on-site. It operates by taking lower-purity nitrogen from a generator and using a controlled hydrogen reaction to achieve a purity of 99.999% or higher. This two-stage process reduces the need for high feed air volumes, resulting in lower energy consumption and reduced emissions. Nitrogen purifiers are ideal for applications that demand very high purity, providing an efficient and reliable solution for on-site nitrogen production systems.

Benefits of on-site nitrogen generation

Tired of buying expensive cylinders or liquid nitrogen? An on-site generator offers a wealth of advantages and is a cost-efficient, flexible solution:

  • Sharply reduces the cost per unit of nitrogen
  • Gives you the exact purity and amount of nitrogen your applications require
  • Saves space because there is no need to store bulky nitrogen containers
  • Removes logistics headaches (ordering, handling, storing purchased N2)
  • Improves safety by removing the workplace hazards of pressurized bottles or liquid gas
  • When combining onsite nitrogen generation with energy recovery options on the compressors, it allows you to self-produce truly green nitrogen

Discover the benefits of on-site gas generation in this video.
