Nitrogen generated on-demand

Nitrogen generators from Hi-line Industries can be matched to individual site requirements for economy and performance. Nitrogen is commonly used throughout industries where safe, inert environments are required, including the petroleum, chemical, pharmaceutical, paint and varnish industries as well as in ferrous and non-ferrous metal production, together with electronic and glass production.

Historically, nitrogen used for processing applications has been supplied in tankers and stored on-site.

However, using a nitrogen generator offers a practical alternative.

With the Hi-line equipment, compressed air is generated and treated by drying to a -70°C dewpoint with all oil removed by activated carbon filters. This is then stored in an air receiver prior to entry into the nitrogen generator on demand, when oxygen and other trace element gases are removed using the PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) principle.
