For years， industry has used gas cylinders to meet the nitrogen needs of their industrial processes. However， as technology has evolved， industry is now turning to installing on-site generators rather than using cylinders. Why? The reason is simple， because on-site generators offer more advantages than cylinders.

How many types of nitrogen generators are there? Nitrogen generators are based on two technologies.

1. variable pressure adsorption (VPS)

2. Membrane technology

How does a membrane nitrogen generator work?

Nitrogen generators do not create nitrogen; instead， they use the nitrogen present in the air and concentrate it by removing the excess molecules.

Ambient air is composed of 78% nitrogen， 21% oxygen and carbon dioxide， argon and water. The membrane separation process uses the principle of diffusion to separate the faster transporting gas from the slower transporting gas. As a result， nitrogen is transported as the product gas.

XITE uses Air Liquide's membrane technology， whose asymmetric hollow fibers consist of a core optimized for mechanical strength and， for gas separation， a sheath. A 12-inch module stretching approximately 750 miles contains 500，000 to 1 million fibers.

Membrane modules may contain more than one million individual hollow fibers， creating cross-flow and counter-flow designs that allow flexibility in designing to meet all pressure drop and performance constraints. The bundled design uses high performance fibers to allow operation at high temperatures and extreme pressures. This increases membrane productivity， reduces the number of membranes， and lowers system CAPEX.

Optimal nitrogen production from a membrane is a complex calculation that depends on a variety of factors including inlet gas temperature， pressure drop across the membrane， volumetric flow rate of the inlet gas， and desired purity at the outlet. XITE's engineered solutions do this study for our customers and propose an efficient and optimized system for on-site nitrogen production.

Why choose a membrane nitrogen generator?

Some of the basic factors in choosing a membrane nitrogen generator are.

The membrane generator works on a relatively simple principle.

It is less costly to maintain.

The footprint of the installation is smaller.

Membrane nitrogen generators start up faster and are quieter

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.
