Nitrogen Generation Systems

Nitrogen Generation Systems from Air Supply Manchester

Nitrogen is an incredibly valuable industrial gas. It’s non-reactive and helps reduce the risk of oxidation and moisture damage. The purity achievable with nitrogen generation can range from 95% to 99.999%, significantly higher than that of other systems on the market. 

At Air Supply Manchester, the BOGE generators are designed for 24/7 operation. If you require an industrial nitrogen generator, we have the expertise and stock to meet your needs. 

What are the benefits of PSA nitrogen generators? 

There are many significant financial and operational advantages to PSA nitrogen generators. These include: 

• Cost stability: Rather than relying on external suppliers to deliver nitrogen cylinders, businesses maintain an on-site supply, which helps manage cost expectations. By generating nitrogen on-site, businesses produce only what they need. This reduces waste. 
• Great control over nitrogen supply: Businesses no longer have to worry about potential delays with nitrogen deliveries. Thanks to on-site generation, businesses have access to nitrogen 24/7.  
• Environmentally-friendly: On-site generation reduces the need for gas transportation, therefore reducing the business’s carbon impact. 

Which industries use nitrogen generators?  

This makes nitrogen generators a vital part of many manufacturing environments, including: 

• Food and beverage production: Nitrogen is used during packaging and storage to displace oxygen, helping to extend the shelf life of products.
• Electronics manufacturing: High-purity nitrogen helps protect delicate components and circuit boards by reducing exposure to oxygen and moisture. This helps prevent corrosion and improves product reliability.
• Chemical processing: Nitrogen provides a safe atmosphere that helps prevent unwanted reactions during certain processes. 

How do nitrogen generators work? 

During the generation process, all other gases are absorbed, leaving only nitrogen behind. 

To maintain a steady supply of nitrogen, PSA generators are built with two adsorption towers. Both work together in a continuous cycle. While one tower is busy separating nitrogen from the compressed air, the other is being refreshed through a regeneration process. Trapped gases are released as it prepares for the next cycle. The towers then automatically switch roles. This is so that the system can keep producing nitrogen without stopping. Once generated, the nitrogen is stored in a buffer tank and is ready for on-demand delivery.
