Nitrogen Generators

Don't buy nitrogen, on-site nitrogen generators are a cost-effective solution!

Nitrogen gas is a dry, inert gas produced using air separation by mechanical means, by taking atmospheric air (i.e. the air that you are breathing – 78% nitrogen & 20.9% oxygen the other 1% is made up of various gases e.g. argon), pressurizing it in an air compressor and then separating it with either a membrane or PSA (pressure swing adsorption) generator.

Liquid or bottled Nitrogen delivery and storage can be very expensive. Nitrogen Generators produce a continuous supply of high purity nitrogen on site using your existing compressed air equipment thus offering a cost effective and reliable alternative to bulk deliveries.

Applications

Nitrogen Generators have a wide variety of applications, including serving as an inert replacement for air where oxidation is undesirable:

Tyre Inflation Preventing loss of pressure, overheating tyres, damage to the tyres and wheel rims
Food (MAP) To preserve the freshness of packaged or bulk foods (by delaying rancidity and other forms of oxidative damage) – crisps, nuts, snack foods and packaged salads.
Laser Metal Cutting (burring reduction)
Bottling To preserve the freshness of wine (by delaying rancidity and other forms of oxidative damage)
On top of liquid explosives as a safety measure – paints and solvents
The production of electronic parts such as transistors, diodes and integrated circuits (prevents oxygen and moisture)
Dried and pressurized, as a dielectric gas for high voltage equipment
Use in military aircraft fuel systems to reduce fire hazard.
