Nitrogen generator enables efficient and self-sufficient nitrogen production

The operating principle of the nitrogen generator is simple but effective: it uses compressed air to extract nitrogen from the other gases in air. This allows the production of pure nitrogen on-site at the plant. The equipment can be integrated into an existing compressed air system or be deployed separately.

The nitrogen generator is ideal for industrial applications that use compressed air and require a constant supply of nitrogen.

Nitrogen generators have a wide range of applications across different industries. For example, the food industry uses nitrogen to improve the shelf life of packed foods. Other use cases include machine shops, the oil and gas industry, petrochemical processes, and the metal industry, especially laser cutting. On the other hand, the assembly of electronics requires particularly clean nitrogen, and power plants use nitrogen as part of their energy solutions.

Conventionally, nitrogen is supplied via gas cylinder deliveries, which require foresight and careful logistics planning. Ordering, storing and ensuring the constant availability of nitrogen results in additional work and costs.

An on-site nitrogen generator replaces the need for nitrogen procurement arrangements with self-sufficiency, manageability and cost-effeciency. It pays for itself in reduced operating costs and improved reliability.

 With an on-site nitrogen generator, the right amount of nitrogen is always available, directly on demand and in the right quality.

Nitrogen generators can be integrated into an existing compressed air system or brought into production as stand-alone units.

The nitrogen generator’s numerous benefits include:

• reducing the costs of nitrogen use
•  reducing the risk of supply disruptions
• saving time and resources while reducing logistical arrangements
• safe and manageable integration into the production process.

The nitrogen generator enables nitrogen production at various purity levels. However, it is important to avoid unnecessary purity if the application does not require it. This is because producing nitrogen at excessive purity raises costs with no actual advantage. For many sites, lower purity is sufficient without compromising the quality or efficiency of production processes.

Optimising nitrogen quality to match application needs enables significant savings. This is where a competent equipment supplier plays a key role. At Sarlin, we ensure that your solution is of appropriate quality and cost-effectively adapted to your production.

An efficient nitrogen solution is not just a single piece of equipment, but part of a larger compressed air system. Functionality is based on appropriate sizing, professional design and timely maintenance. A properly constructed system ensures that nitrogen is always available when required, without interruptions or unnecessary costs.

The system should be sized according to actual production needs. This means not only choosing the right nitrogen generator, but also ensuring an effective compressed air solution and comprehensive maintenance throughout the equipment’s lifetime.

Security of supply is particularly important when nitrogen is a critical part of production. A reliable system reduces the risk of production downtime and increases safety.

Sarlin’s nationwide service network ensures short response times and expert maintenance, even in urgent situations. We offer both preventive maintenance and on-call support to keep production running around the clock.

With an experienced partner, the end result is a reliable system that adds value regardless of the industry.

• The nitrogen generator enables cost-effective, self-sufficient nitrogen production on-site at the plant.
• Replacing nitrogen gas cylinders with a generator saves both time and money while reducing dependence on external supply.
• Nitrogen purity can be optimised according to the application, avoiding the extra cost of excessively pure nitrogen.
