How Does a Nitrogen Generator Work?

Across the wide range of industries today, nitrogen gas is used in many different ways. Companies need a constant supply of high-purity nitrogen to maintain an inert environment or to ensure the quality of their products. No matter the situation, you are sure to find the level of quality you are searching for with On Site Gas nitrogen generators. Buying gas is expensive, inefficient, and can leave you high and dry at times when you run out of nitrogen and can’t receive immediate delivery. So, how does a nitrogen generator work to benefit your business? 

Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) nitrogen generation systems have emerged as the premier means for businesses to maintain a continuous, uninterrupted supply of nitrogen for industrial applications. The purity level of nitrogen that PSA systems generate is up to 99.9995%. The systems pay for themselves many times over as they generate nitrogen from the atmosphere around you. Additionally, On Site Gas can build a custom system that is specifically suited to your unique needs. 

The PSA nitrogen generation system uses a method called adsorption to extract the nitrogen from the air. The generator contains two vessels that are filled with carbon molecular sieve (CMS). This sieve material allows nitrogen molecules to escape into a containment area in the generator while it traps oxygen molecules. One vessel is filled with compressed air at high pressure and runs its cycle, then the other vessel takes over immediately to ensure a continuous stream of nitrogen. When the pressure is released on the first vessel, the oxygen is released back into the air and the process keeps repeating itself.
