PSA Nitrogen Generators and Food Packaging, MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging)
Nitrogen gas generators are integral to the food packaging industry, also known as MAP, as they provide a reliable and economical source of nitrogen gas. Most contemporary generators in use employ PSA technology, which enables the extraction of nitrogen from the air and outputs a high purity level of nitrogen, essential for food preservation. PSA […]
Nitrogen generators in food and beverage industry
From cylinders to PSA nitrogen generators In the food and beverage industry, nitrogen is primarily used for packaging, preservation and quality enhancement. It displaces oxygen in packaging ang significantly extends the shelf life of perishable items by slowing down oxidation and bacterial growth. Furthermore, nitrogen is used in the carbonation process of beverages like beer […]
Membrane technology for on-site nitrogen generation
Efficiency and sustainability are of great importance in all industrial settings, and nitrogen gas, due to its attributes, is the cornerstone in maintaining these aspects in numerous manufacturing processes. Industries usually supply nitrogen either through bulk delivery, cylinders, or on-site generation. While bulk delivery and cylinder supply used to be more common, due to efficiency, […]
Carbon molecular sieve for PSA nitrogen generators: An overview
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) nitrogen generators rely on Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) for efficient nitrogen separation. Unlike zeolite, which is used for oxygen production, CMS’s microporous structure selectively adsorbs oxygen while allowing nitrogen to pass, achieving purities of up to 99.9999%. Quality of CMS and why matters for PSA nitrogen generators Carbon Molecular Sieves are […]
Nitrogen gas generators in marine – their usage as an inert system
One of the main concerns of the transportation of crude oil, clean products and liquefied gases by tankers has been the necessity to secure the cargo from accidents such as fires and explosions. However, ensuring a safe voyage for tankers is not a concern limited solely to the oil and gas industry; it extends to […]
Nitrogen generation for medicinal manufacturing in the pharmaceutical industry
In the pharmaceutical industry, nitrogen is essential for maintaining the safety and effectiveness of medications. Nitrogen gas, used throughout the development and production stages, plays a key role in stabilizing active ingredients and extending the shelf life of products like tablets and injectables. With strict quality and safety requirements, the industry benefits from advanced nitrogen […]
