PSA Oxygen and Nitrogen



PSA Nitrogen generation plant based on the PSA process consists of two adsorbers filled with carbon molecular sieves, which have the property to absorb Oxygen from compressed air(CMS). Compressed and purified air is passed through the absorbers in this process.

Nitrogen generators or nitrogen generation systems are machines that can separate nitrogen molecules from compressed air. These nitrogen gas generators or N2 generators are capable of purities of up to 99.999% at flow and are required for your scientific equipment.

We have a wide range of Nitrogen Generation plants (3m3 to 1000m3).

What is Nitrogen?

Nitrogen is a naturally occurring element that is essential for growth and reproduction in both plants and animals. It is found in amino acids that make up proteins, in nucleic acids, that comprise the hereditary material and life’s blueprint for all cells, and in many other organic and inorganic compounds. In addition, nitrogen comprises about 78% of the Earth's atmosphere.

The Forms of Nitrogen

To appreciate the intricacies of nitrogen loading to coastal waters, some understanding of how nitrogen reacts chemically in the environment may be useful. Nitrogen is an element that can combine with itself or with other elements to make different compounds. For instance nitrogen gas, N2, is a compound made when two nitrogen atoms form a chemical bond. It makes up about 78% of the atmosphere, while oxygen gas, O2, makes up a little less than 20.9% of the atmosphere. So nitrogen gas is very common and plentiful. However, only a specialized group of bacteria, and industrial fertilizer manufacture, can "fix" this largely inert compound into biologically useful nitrogen compounds. Fertilizer production now exceeds natural nitrogen fixation in making N2 available to the biosphere.

About Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA)



Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) type Nitrogen Generation Unit. This simple machine provides a cost-effective means for the on-site generation of nitrogen. The Nitrogen Generation Unit is based on the latest PSA technology and utilizes Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) to separate the nitrogen from the other gases contained in the air. The Nitrogen Generation Unit uses two beds of CMS to separate compressed air into a high-pressure nitrogen product stream and a low-pressure oxygen-enriched waste stream. Pre-Filter and Fine filters are included to remove impurities from the feed air. Each Nitrogen Generator comes pre-tested and fine-tuned to meet the customer-specified nitrogen flow rate and purity. Since the system contains very few moving parts, maintenance and repairs are minimal. Maintenance is simple yet necessary. Air compressor and filter maintenance procedures are especially important and should be followed carefully. If the recommended maintenance procedures are followed, your nitrogen generation Unit will provide you with many years of reliable service.
