You know how industries obtain super pure nitrogen? I want to share with you the hot PSA nitrogen generator machine. This generator can produce nitrogen that is 99.9999 percent pure. That means it’s nearly 100% pure nitrogen, with almost nothing else mixed in! We’re actually the company, Hengyetong, that produces these generators, and they are being used quite widely in various industries, such as food packaging and electronics
Introduction to PSA Nitrogen Generators
What is a PSA Nitrogen Generator? A PSA Nitrogen Generator is a very unique machine that can take air from around us and take the nitrogen from other gases. “PSA’’ is an acronym for Pressure Swing Adsorption, the technology it employs. The machine acts as a super powerful filter: It catches just nitrogen and allows the other gases to slip through. A lot of industries require an extremely high purity of nitrogen, and that’s what they are using this machine for
The key in producing such high purity by PSA technology lies in the materials that the generator is composed of. These materials can capture gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, while allowing nitrogen to pass through. By manipulating pressure and the movement of air, the generator can continue to increase the purity of nitrogen. It’s a precise process, and it requires careful handling to ensure it reaches 99.9999% purity
Step-by-Step Process of Nitrogen Generation
Air is first drawn into the generator. And then it filters out the dust and dirt. Then the air is pressurized, and voilà, through the miracle of the PSA process, other gases wind up sticking to the materials inside the generator and you end up with pure nitrogen. When the pressure is removed, the captured gases escape, leaving behind super pure nitrogen. This process is repeated many times to arrest the purity level
Advantages of PSA N₂ Generators
There are many advantages in using a PSA nitrogen generator. It’s also extremely reliable; you can keep producing nitrogen for as long as you want without depleting your resources. It’s also a safer and cheaper alternative to managing and storing bottles of nitrogen. And since a machine is on the premises, you can have the pure nitrogen any time you want without having to have it delivered
Comparison of PSA Nitrogen Generators with other Nitrogen Generation Techniques
Cryogenic distillation and other processes also produce the gas, but they use super cold temperatures and a lot of energy. Membrane technology is also a possibility, but it typically doesn’t get the same purity as PSA
