We know that nitrogen is all around us. It makes up 78% of the Earth's atmosphere and is present in the elements of our own bodies.

Chemical and industrial companies also often rely on the industrial preparation of nitrogen in their daily production. It is necessary to extract nitrogen from the air in order to use it in a purified state.

2 ways to achieve nitrogen separation from air

To do this， it is necessary to use air separation equipment and nitrogen generators (PSA nitrogen generators， nitrogen equipment). There are three methods of separating air components. PSA， membrane， and cryogenic systems.

Which process should you choose to get nitrogen from air? It is best to consider purity and capacity， as well as flowability and pressure of the delivered air product.

1. Fractionation of liquid air to produce nitrogen

So， how do you separate nitrogen from air? By a process called fractionating liquid air to produce nitrogen. Simply put， a four-step process is used: cooling， separating the nitrogen， separating it from the air， and then collecting it.

At the correct low temperature， the nitrogen becomes a liquid， which can then be extracted and harvested for industrial processing. Once in liquid form， the gas can be transported in tanks and stored in cylinders.

However， you may encounter some problems when transporting nitrogen. Corrosion can cause safety issues， as can improper handling of boilers when moving between industrial facilities.

Then there is the issue of cost and maintenance of cylinders and generators.

2. Nitrogen generators (PSA nitrogen generators， nitrogen equipment)

Suzhou Hite Gas' industrial on-site nitrogen generators are an effective solution to these problems. They enable companies and industries to avoid significant risks and financial outlays. It is estimated that the use of on-site nitrogen generators (PSA nitrogen generators， nitrogen equipment) can save between 40% and 80% of costs.

Further benefits of using these on-site generators are that they are environmentally friendly and do not require much maintenance. You can also rent our generators directly and perform your own small-scale industry operations without relying on third-party suppliers.

The two types of nitrogen systems we offer at Suzhou Schieter Gases are called membrane generators， and variable pressure adsorption generators - sometimes referred to as PSA generators.

Membrane Nitrogen Generators

Membrane systems have lower operating costs. They are designed to separate compressed air through a hollow fiber membrane. They work by forcing compressed air into a vessel that selectively permeates oxygen， water vapor and other impurities through its side walls. The nitrogen flows through the center and emerges as a gas.

They have a high purity of nitrogen， from 95% to 99.5%. Membrane systems are also much easier to maintain. With low decibels， no on-off valves， and a small footprint， they are suitable for many small to medium-sized industries.

PSA Nitrogen Producers

Variable pressure adsorption (PSA) nitrogen generators are often the first choice when higher purity applications are required. They use a separation method that results in nitrogen purity of 95 to 99.9995 percent.

PSA systems produce nitrogen in a safe and reliable manner. They are best suited for on-site use in industries where nitrogen is required in the application. They are much less costly than delivered gas.

Using on-site nitrogen systems for your industrial market

The problem solving and cost saving capabilities of our on-site nitrogen generators may be the solution for your industry application. We also have certified technicians available to service your compressors and nitrogen systems.

Advantages of owning a field nitrogen generator (nitrogen generator):

Before using the nitrogen generation system on site, many enterprises in the industry have no choice but to buy nitrogen elsewhere. However, the use of on-site nitrogen generator can eliminate all the troubles related to bulk purchase of nitrogen. Our nitrogen generator is an option with the greatest benefit: the average cost of producing nitrogen by ourselves is one-third to one-half lower than the relevant cost of purchasing nitrogen. Using the on-site nitrogen generator system, there is no need to pay the freight when purchasing nitrogen. Our nitrogen generator system usually allows you to recover the cost within 18 months.

In addition to economy, the nitrogen generator system of the on-site nitrogen generator also provides:

Reliability - the nitrogen generator system, that is, the on-site nitrogen generator system, uses the surrounding air to generate nitrogen. Therefore, our customers never have to worry about the shortage of nitrogen. Reduce stress - improve safety through storage. Simple - we make it easy for people without relevant equipment experience. The visual touch screen control can control the stability of gas purity. At the same time, it can operate self diagnosis, visual operation diagram and maintenance plan reminder on the screen. Flexibility - our equipment is small and can be transported under various conditions, so as long as there is air and electricity, the equipment can operate stably anywhere. Fully automatic - once a downstream request is detected, production begins.

Why use XITE nitrogen generator?   Our nitrogen generator system provides reliable on-site nitrogen supply for various industries, which is famous in China and Southeast Asia. Our on-site nitrogen system can produce nitrogen with purity up to 99.999%. For our nitrogen generator, it can meet the nitrogen production in any place and any complex environment.
