The Benefits of Nitrogen Generators for Industrial Applications:

The Benefits of Nitrogen Generators for Industrial Applications:

  1. On-Demand Nitrogen Generation: One of the significant advantages of nitrogen generators is their ability to produce nitrogen on demand. Traditional supply methods, such as liquid nitrogen(LN2) or nitrogen cylinders, can lead to logistical challenges, delays, storage issues and ultimately leave you at the mercy of suppliers. With a nitrogen generator, businesses can generate nitrogen on-site as needed, eliminating the dependency on external suppliers and providing a continuous and reliable supply.

  2. Cost Savings: Nitrogen generators offer substantial cost savings over the other supply methods. By producing nitrogen on-site, businesses can eliminate recurring costs associated with deliveries, rental fees for storage and the cost to purchase nitrogen itself. Moreover, the cost per unit of nitrogen generated through nitrogen generators is significantly lower compared to purchasing pre-filled cylinders or LN2, resulting in long-term cost savings and improved profitability.

  3. Enhanced Operational Efficiency: Businesses no longer need to wait for nitrogen deliveries or manage inventory levels of cylinders. Nitrogen generators allow for a continuous supply of gas, reducing downtime, and ensuring smooth operations. This efficiency translates into increased productivity, reduced bottlenecks, and optimised production processes as one process always impacts on another and another.

  4. Customizable Nitrogen Purity: Different industrial applications have varying requirements for nitrogen purity levels. Nitrogen generators offer the flexibility to produce nitrogen gas with the desired purity for specific applications. Whether high-purity nitrogen is needed for electronics manufacturing or standard purity levels are suitable for inerting applications, nitrogen generators can be customised to meet these requirements, providing businesses with the exact nitrogen quality they need.

  5. Improved Safety: The handling of high pressure cylinders or ultra low temperature nitrogen is a constant risk factor of people handling them and for those around them. An unsecure cylinder can cause significant damage to a person, not to mention the effect of rapid pressure change due to failure of a cylinder (explosion). By generating nitrogen on-site, businesses reduce the transportation and handling risks associated with these two alternatives. There are no concerns about cylinder storage, handling hazards, or potential accidents during transportation. Nitrogen generators provide a safer and more controlled nitrogen supply, minimising risks and ensuring a safer working environment for employees.

  6. Environmental Sustainability: Current plans of decarbonising and improving sustainability is to make as many pieces of equipment electrical as possible, therefore when we improve the environmental impact of our energy grid all equipment attached to it will be decarbonised as well. By adopting nitrogen generators, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to sustainable practices and reduce their carbon footprint.

Advantages of a PSA nitrogen generator

PSA nitrogen generators are commonly called pressure swing adsorption nitrogen generators. These PSA generators are capable of producing high-purity nitrogen gas from atmospheric air. A similar purity can be achieved through cryogenic systems, however, the complicated process is used in specific high consumption industries as an alternative to PSA nitrogen generator systems.

Compressed Gas Technologies uses PSA technology in their nitrogen generators. CGT’s PSA nitrogen gas generators can produce a constant supply of high purity nitrogen available with or without internal compressors.

Outlined below are advantages a facility or business would gain by eliminating gas cylinders and replacing them with PSA nitrogen generators made by Compressed Gas Technologies Inc. for their daily operations.

  1. Convenience
  • PSA nitrogen generators ensure there is no shortage of gas supply during analysis. Gas can also be delivered on-demand.
  • Maintaining gas stock inventory is not needed. Reordering cylinders in bulk is not required. There is no waiting on the stock.
  1. Reliability and consistency
  • PSA generators are well known for their capability of delivering gas at a constant rate while maintaining a stable purity. Similarly, there is no risk of contamination in the pipeline that can hamper the function of the processes or workflow productivity.
  1. Low cost of operation
  • Up to 50% of nitrogen production savings can be achieved if businesses swap out old out-of-date air separation plants.
  • Compared to the costs of bottled nitrogen or liquefied nitrogen obtained in bulk purchase, the net costs of onsite PSA nitrogen generation plants are considerably less.
  1. Reduced carbon footprint
  • Onsite PSA nitrogen generation is energy efficient and sustainable providing clean, dry, pure nitrogen gas to the process it was intended to support.
  1. Increased Safety
  • Transportation of nitrogen requires nitrogen gas to be converted to liquid at -196 degrees centigrade or stored at pressures upwards of 200-300 bar or - psi. The loading and unloading of these liquids are hazardous, and possibilities of leaks or spills are high. Such dangerous mishaps can cause injuries or even death. With onsite PSA nitrogen generators, these risks are eliminated and storing the surplus gas can be achieved at a pressure demanded by the application that it is intended for.
  1. Built to suit specific needs

Specific industries require nitrogen gas at remote locations. These areas are not easily accessible, and delivery of nitrogen cylinders is not practically possible. Having an onsite nitrogen generator for industries such as offshore drilling is the best solution. It also allows the industry to adjust the supply and purity as per their application’s needs.

At Compressed Gas Technologies Inc., we guarantee high-quality PSA nitrogen generators that are further backed by our expert service and industry-leading warranties.
