Nitrogen Generators

Nitrogen generators are systems that extract nitrogen from compressed air to produce high-purity nitrogen gas, often up to 99.999%. These N2 generators are commonly used in various industries and laboratories to provide a continuous, reliable, and cost-effective source of nitrogen for different industrial applications.

On-Site Nitrogen Generation System

On-site nitrogen generation is the process of producing nitrogen gas directly at a facility using specialized equipment like nitrogen generators. This method eliminates the need for bulk gas deliveries, offering a cost-effective, reliable, and continuous nitrogen supply for various industrial applications. As demand for efficient and sustainable gas solutions grows, Nitrogen Generators in Canada are becoming increasingly popular across multiple sectors. An on-site nitrogen generator gives you control over your nitrogen supply. You don’t have to worry about running out of nitrogen and experiencing business disruptions while waiting for the supplier to deliver it.

You can generate nitrogen on-site by extracting it from the ambient air using one of two methods:

Both PSA and membrane technologies provide flexible solutions tailored to your purity and flow requirements, making them ideal for a wide range of industries. Choosing the right technology depends on your specific application, budget, and desired nitrogen purity levels.

Benefits of On-site Nitrogen Generation System

There are many benefits of using an onsite nitrogen gas generation system.

  • With an on site nitrogen gas generator, you can avoid reliance on third-party suppliers, contractors, and delivery delays.
  • Using an on-site nitrogen generator in your facility, you can have full control over your nitrogen supply and avoid disruptions.
  • Customize nitrogen purity to your needs, reducing unnecessary costs.
  • Cut environmental impact by removing transportation and reducing nitrogen waste.
  • Minimize safety risks from handling high-pressure cylinders and delivery leaks.
  • Lower costs by paying only for electricity and occasional maintenance.
  • Operating costs include:
    • Electricity for the air compressor
    • Periodic maintenance (e.g., filter changes)

    On-site nitrogen generation offers a cost-effective, reliable, and safe alternative to traditional nitrogen supply methods.

On-site nitrogen generation offers cost savings by eliminating delivery fees, provides control over gas purity levels, ensures a continuous supply without reliance on third parties, and reduces environmental impact by minimizing transportation emissions.​

What technologies are used in INMATEC nitrogen generators?

INMATEC utilizes two primary technologies: Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) and Membrane Technology. PSA systems can achieve nitrogen purities up to 99.9999%, while membrane systems offer purities up to 99.5%.​

How do I determine the right nitrogen generator for my needs?

Consider factors like required nitrogen purity, flow rate, and application. Consulting with a specialist or conducting a nitrogen demand audit can help identify the most suitable system for your operations.

Are there environmental benefits to on-site nitrogen generation?

Yes, generating nitrogen on-site reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting gas cylinders and minimizes waste from evaporated liquid nitrogen.​

What industries benefit most from on-site nitrogen generators?

Industries such as food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, electronics manufacturing, and metal fabrication commonly use on-site nitrogen generators to ensure consistent gas supply and quality.

How much does a nitrogen generator cost?

The cost of a nitrogen generator can vary depending on capacity, purity level, and technology (PSA vs. membrane). At CRU, basic systems may start around $10,000 to $15,000 for smaller applications, while large industrial units can exceed $50,000 or more. It’s best to request a custom quote based on your specific flow rate and purity requirements.
