GeN2 Nitrogen Generators

The GEN2 - Series Nitrogen generator is designed to deliver Nitrogen at a specified purity, flow and pressure as required by the application. The GEN2 - Series operates on the pressure swing adsorption principle, which allows for a continuous supply of Nitrogen from clean dry compressed air. The nano GEN2 - Series generator offers a cost-effective, reliable and safe alternative to the use of liquid or bottled Nitrogen.

Food, beverage industries:
When food or beverages are produced, or fruits and vegetables harvested, the ageing process kicks in until the complete decay of the products. This is caused by small bacteria and other organisms. Nitrogen Generators are used to flood the products with N2 that displaces the oxygen and prolongs the product lifetime significantly because thus reducing decay. Also the chemical degradation of food caused by oxidation can be eliminated or stopped using this process.
Chemistry:
Nitrogen generators are used for Analytical chemistry such as Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry and Gas Chromatography where a stable and continuous supply of N2 is necessary.
Aircraft & motor vehicle tyresres:
Although air is 78% Nitrogen, most aircraft and automotive tyres can be filled with nitrogen, the advantage being that the nitrogen held in a tank is dry. While compressed air will have a content of water in it coming from atmospheric vapour condensing in the tank. Nitrogen maintains a more stable pressure when heated and cooled as a result of being dry and doesn't permeate the tyre as easily due to being a slightly larger molecule (155 pm) than O2 (152 pm). This offers the advantage that tyres filled with Nitrogen remain at pressure for longer.
Chemical and petrochemical industries:
The primary application of nitrogen in chemical and petrochemical industries is using inert environment ensuring general industrial safety during cleaning and protection of process vessels. Besides, nitrogen is used for pipelines pressure testing, chemical agents transportation, and regeneration of used catalysts in technological processes.
Electronics:
In electronics, nitrogen serves as an antioxidant in the manufacture of semi-conductors and electric circuits, heat treatment of finished products, as well as in blowing and cleaning.

Fire Protection:
The fire protection industry uses nitrogen gas for two different applications - fire suppression and corrosion prevention. Nitrogen generators are used in hypoxic air fire prevention systems to produce air with a low oxygen content which will suppress a fire. To prevent corrosion nitrogen generators are used in place of or in conjunction with a compressed air system to provide supervisory nitrogen gas in place of air for dry pipe and pre-action fire sprinkler systems.
Glass industry:
In the glass production, nitrogen proves efficient as a cooling agent for electric arc furnace electrodes, as oxidation inhibitor during process procedures, as well as air cooler.
Metallurgy:
The metal industry generally utilizes nitrogen as a means of protecting ferrous and non-ferrous metals during annealing. Also, nitrogen is helpful in such standard industry processes as neutral tempering, cementing, hard brazing, stress relieving, cyanide hardening, metal-powder sintering and extrusion die cooling.
Paint-and-varnish industry:
Paint and varnish production uses nitrogen for the creation of an inert environment in process vessels to ensure safety, as well as for oxygen displacement during packing in order to prevent polymerization of drying oils.
Petroleum industry:
In the petroleum industry, nitrogen is an indispensable component in a number of processes. Most commonly, nitrogen is used to create an inert environment for preventing explosions and for fire safety and to support transportation and transfer of hydrocarbons. Additionally, nitrogen is used for pipeline testing and purging, cleaning technological vessels and cleaning liquefied gas carriers and hydrocarbon storage facilities.
Pharmaceutical industry:
In the pharmaceutical industry, nitrogen finds application in pharmaceuticals packaging, and ensuring against explosion and fire safety in activities where fine dispersed substances are used.
