Features
Adopting world-leading molecular sieve filling technology - snow storm filling to improve the filling density to make sure the molecular sieve is well-compressed, effectively prevent the molecular sieve from losing efficacy, in order to prolong the service life;
Adopting German Bauder valves, which can operate 3 million times without defections;
Adopting German Siemens PLC control system;
More stable performance with an average of 10,000 hours of errorless operation.
HMI (Human-Machine Interface): Features intelligent, one-button control with English subtitles and a touchscreen display for real-time monitoring of nitrogen flow, purity, equipment inlet/outlet pressure, and fault information. It also allows for online modification of equipment operating parameters.
Selection of Renowned Brand Components: We offer optional components from leading brands, including Atlas Copco air compressors, Japan Iwatani molecular sieves, Siemens controllers, Airtac electronic components, Burkert (Germany) valves, and GEMÜ (Germany) valves.
Remote Real-time Equipment Monitoring:
1). Reserved RS485 communication ports (Modbus or Profibus communication protocols) or Industrial Ethernet communication ports are available to facilitate user integration of nitrogen generation equipment signals into their DCS (Distributed Control System) for real-time monitoring.
2). We can directly provide industrial PCs, monitoring software, printers, etc., for seamless integration with the nitrogen generation equipment's control system for real-time monitoring.
3). An Internet-based intelligent IoT (Internet of Things) system can also be provided for intelligent analysis and monitoring.
Automatic Purging of Off-Spec Nitrogen:
1). A product nitrogen sampling port is provided for the analyzer to sample and determine if the product nitrogen purity meets specifications.
2). If purity is off-spec, the system automatically switches to the off-spec gas path to vent nitrogen.
3). Once purity returns to specification, it automatically switches back to the qualified gas path to deliver product nitrogen to the consumption end.
Unique Cylinder Compaction Technology:
Automatic compensation for molecular sieve loosening ensures the molecular sieve remains consistently compacted. This effectively extends the lifespan of the molecular sieve and guarantees reliable, long-term operation of the equipment.
Adsorption Tower Structure Technology:
Further enhances molecular sieve utilization and improves equipment performance. The unique adsorption tower structure design effectively changes the speed and direction of internal airflow, reducing dead spaces within the tower. This further boosts molecular sieve utilization while preventing high-pressure airflow from impacting the molecular sieve, reducing pulverization. These factors contribute to extending molecular sieve lifespan, improving adsorption performance, and reducing energy consumption.

How PSA Nitrogen Generation Works
PSA nitrogen generation is a technology to separate nitrogen from air by the adsorption ability of carbon molecular sieve under pressure by air compressor. After the air is compressed and purified (removing the oil, water and dust, etc.) before transferring into the absorption tower filled with carbon molecular sieves (CMS), the oxygen molecule will be adsorbed by carbon molecular sieve, while nitrogen molecules are too large so that they will be remained in the air. Those nitrogen molecules will pass through the tower into the nitrogen buffer tank, while oxygen molecules remain in the CMS. The adsorption process is performed at certain pressure, after that the atmospheric pressure will be resumed, and the adsorbed oxygen molecules will be escaped from CMS, pass the bottom of the tower through the exhaust silencing muffler into the air, and the CMS is available to be reused. Usually PSA nitrogen generator adopts double adsorption towers in parallel, they will be used alternatively for the adsorption and collection of the nitrogen under different pressure, continuously supporting the separation of oxygen and nitrogen. The above process will be automatically controlled by PLC system.
Our containerized PSA nitrogen generator can separate nitrogen from compressed air utilizing pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology, which is suitable for production of nitrogen in factories in bulk.
Our modular nitrogen generator has a compact structure, adopting non-pressure container molded in aluminum alloy die-casting and pipeline made of high strength alloy steel with quick-connect fittings.
Our membrane nitrogen generator is designed with membrane containing a bundle of hollow fibers with holes small enough to allow the smaller oxygen molecules, as well as other molecules such as CO2, water vapor to exit through them under pressure and let nitrogen molecules remain in the fiber holes.
Two adsorption tower will be installed in parallel in PSA oxygen generator, one tower begins the adsorption phase while other tower regenerates by de-pressurizing.
Our VPSA oxygen generator is able to generate oxygen with purity between 90% and 95%. It is mainly composed of air blower, vacuum bump, switching valve and oxygen buffer tank.

A: We provide customers with layout drawings for reference regarding the footprint. Our company can also make adjustments if the user's site space is insufficient.
Q2: What is the warranty period?
A: The entire machine comes with a one-year warranty.
Q3: Are there any accessories or maintenance parts that need to be replaced?
A: The air compressor requires maintenance every 3000 hours, and filter elements need to be replaced every 8000 hours.
Q4: Can you send engineers to the site for installation and commissioning guidance?
A: Yes, we can. However, the operation of our nitrogen generation systems is relatively straightforward. Generally, on-site installation and commissioning by our engineers are not required; users can install and commission simply by following our drawings and manuals. For any issues, you can contact our after-sales personnel at any time.
Q5: What are the equipment's operating costs?
A: The entire system is electrically driven. Apart from normal air compressor maintenance and filter element replacement, other components typically do not require replacement for 5-6 years, resulting in low operating costs.
