PSA Nitrogen Generator System with Integrated Air Compressor & Purification | Industrial-Grade N₂ Supply
Optimize your operations with a complete, efficient, and reliable on-site nitrogen generation solution. Our PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) Nitrogen Generator System, seamlessly integrated with an air compressor and advanced air purification equipment, delivers high-purity nitrogen gas whenever and wherever you need it, eliminating the costs and hassles of cylinder deliveries.
Product Features & Characteristics:
-
Comprehensive Air Processing Chain:
- Robust Air Compression: A dedicated air compressor provides the necessary pressurized air feed.
- Multi-Stage Filtration: Removes particulates, liquid water, aerosols, and oil contaminants through coalescing filters and activated carbon filtration (compressed air micro-oil adsorber).
- Refrigerated Drying: Ensures the air supply is dry (typically achieving a pressure dew point of +3°C to +10°C), preventing moisture damage to downstream components and the CMS.
- Air Buffer Tank: Stabilizes pressure and flow, smoothing out compressor cycles for consistent feed to the PSA unit.
-
Advanced PSA Nitrogen Generation:
- High-Efficiency Pre-Filtration: Integrated filters provide final, deep removal of any residual oil vapor and particulate matter immediately before the PSA towers.
- Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) Technology: The heart of the system. CMS selectively adsorbs oxygen (O₂), carbon dioxide (CO₂), and water vapor (H₂O) molecules under pressure, allowing high-purity nitrogen (N₂) to pass through.
- Twin-Tower Design: Ensures continuous nitrogen production. While one tower is adsorbing, the other is depressurizing and purging to regenerate the CMS.
- Precision Control: Sophisticated PLC-based controller manages valve sequencing, cycle timing, and system performance for optimal efficiency and purity.
-
Nitrogen Handling & Quality Assurance:
- Nitrogen Buffer Tank: Stores generated N₂, dampening pressure fluctuations and ensuring a steady supply.
- Nitrogen Analyzer: Continuously monitors output purity in real-time.
- Flow Meter: Accurately measures nitrogen production and usage.
- Automatic Purity Control: Diverts out-of-spec nitrogen to vent, guaranteeing only gas meeting the set purity standard reaches the...
- Nitrogen Storage Tank(s): Provides capacity for peak demand or acts as a primary reservoir for production use.
Key Advantages:
- Significant Cost Savings: Eliminate rental fees, delivery charges, and hazmat costs associated with liquid or cylinder nitrogen. Pay only for the electricity to produce it.
- On-Demand Supply: Generate nitrogen 24/7 at your facility, ensuring uninterrupted production and eliminating stock-out risks.
- High Purity & Consistency: Achieve consistent purity levels from 95% to 99.9995%+ (or higher), tailored to your specific application requirements.
- Enhanced Safety: Remove risks related to handling heavy cylinders or liquid nitrogen (cryogenic burns, asphyxiation hazards in confined spaces during delivery/storage). Produce only what you need.
- Low Operating Costs: Energy-efficient PSA technology, combined with optimized system design, minimizes power consumption per unit of nitrogen produced.
- Minimal Maintenance: Designed for reliable, long-term operation with straightforward, scheduled maintenance points (filter changes, CMS lifespan of 5-10+ years).
- Space Efficiency: Compact, integrated footprint compared to storing bulk cylinders or dewars.
- Environmental Sustainability: Reduce carbon footprint by eliminating transportation emissions for delivered gas.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: What purity levels can this system achieve?
- A: PSA systems are highly versatile. Standard systems typically produce 95-99.9% purity economically. With optimized design and higher-grade CMS, purities exceeding 99.9995% (5.0 grade) are achievable, suitable for demanding applications like electronics or pharmaceuticals. Purity directly impacts flow rate capacity.
-
Q: How reliable is the nitrogen supply?
- A: Extremely reliable. The integrated design with buffer tanks ensures a continuous, stable supply. Redundancy options (e.g., backup compressor modules) are available for critical applications. The PLC constantly monitors performance and purity.
-
Q: What maintenance is required?
- A: Maintenance is primarily preventative and involves:
- Regular replacement of inlet coalescing filters and activated carbon filters (schedule depends on air quality).
- Annual servicing of the refrigerated dryer.
- Periodic inspection/replacement of the compressed air micro-oil adsorber.
- CMS replacement every 5-10+ years depending on usage and air quality.
- Routine checks per the manufacturer's schedule.
-
Q: Why is the air purification stage so extensive?
- A: Clean, dry, oil-free air is CRITICAL for PSA longevity and performance. Oil and moisture poison the Carbon Molecular Sieve, drastically reducing its adsorption capacity and lifespan. Multi-stage purification protects your significant investment in the CMS.
-
Q: Is this system suitable for food/beverage or pharmaceutical use?
- A: Absolutely. Systems can be designed with food-grade/oil-free compressors, certified materials (e.g., 316L stainless steel piping), and validated purification stages to meet stringent international standards like ISO 8573-1 Class 0 for air quality and relevant pharmacopeia (e.g., USP, EP) for nitrogen.
