A secure supply of nitrogen and oxygen

Atlas Copco Nitrogen Generators

If your business relies on a steady supply of nitrogen, you may be familiar with the high costs and logistical challenges associated with traditional gas delivery methods. However, owning your own nitrogen generator can offer a valuable and cost-efficient alternative.

First and foremost, owning your own nitrogen generator provides you with complete control over your nitrogen supply. Rather than relying on deliveries from a third-party supplier, you can produce nitrogen on-site and on-demand. This means you'll never have to worry about running out of nitrogen or waiting for deliveries.

What's more, owning your own nitrogen generator can be significantly more cost-efficient than traditional delivery methods. With a nitrogen generator, you'll only pay for the electricity needed to power the generator, which is often significantly less expensive than the cost of delivered nitrogen.

In addition to cost savings, owning your own nitrogen generator can also provide you with greater flexibility and customization. You can adjust the purity and flow rate of the nitrogen to meet your specific needs, and you won't be limited by the availability of delivered nitrogen.

Finally, owning your own nitrogen generator can be more environmentally friendly than traditional delivery methods. By producing nitrogen on-site, you'll eliminate the need for transportation and reduce your carbon footprint.Overall, owning your own nitrogen generator can provide your business with greater control, cost savings, flexibility, and environmental benefits. If you're considering a more cost-efficient and reliable source of nitrogen, investing in a nitrogen generator may be a wise choice.

DATASHEET
  • Your own independent supply of industrial gas.
  • Non-stop availability: 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
  • Significant economies of scale and lower operational costs: no rental charges, transport expenses and bulk user evaporation losses
  • No safety hazards when handling high pressure cylinders.
  • Easy integration within existing compressed air installations.

Bottled nitrogen is history. Nitrogen on site is the future.

If your business is a regular consumer of nitrogen, you’re likely (and perhaps even painfully) aware of what a hassle nitrogen-tank rental and delivery can present. Those bulky nitrogen cylinders take up a lot of floor space in your facility, and being such heavy vessels containing gas under high pressure, they amount to an ever-present safety risk. Further, the rental/delivery service can be very expensive, tank replacement regularly leads to downtime and added labor costs, the gas company’s strict contracts can be a challenge to get out of … and the list goes on.

If any of the issues mentioned above sound familiar to you, you’re not alone. Like many business owners and workers in similar situations, it may be time for you to consider on-site nitrogen generation. The good news about generating on-site nitrogen is that if you already have an air compressor, you’re halfway there. All you need is a connected nitrogen generator unit to generate your own in-house nitrogen!

Atlas Copco nitrogen generator technology is a simple, reliable and cost-effective approach to nitrogen generation that enables continuous, high-capacity nitrogen flow at the desired level of purity. PSA traps oxygen from the compressed air stream when molecules bind themselves to a carbon molecular sieve. This happens in two separate pressure vessels (tower A and tower B), each filled with a carbon molecular sieve, that switch between a separation process and a regeneration process.

Bottled nitrogen is history. Nitrogen on site is the future.

Like nitrogen, oxygen (process gas) is vital to many industries, as is the need for oxygen in many processes in industrial and medical applications. Atlas Copco's OGP series of oxygen generators, equipped with Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology, is an economical way to produce your own oxygen. Our isolates oxygen molecules from compressed air. Oxygen generation requires only a source of dry compressed air to produce 90-95% pure oxygen.
