WHAT IS NITROGEN ?
A non-Metalic element that constitutes nearly four fifths of the atmosphere by volume, occurring as a colourless, odourless, almost inert diatomic gas, N2. It is a component of all proteins, making it essential for life, and it is in various minerals.
Nitrogen, N2 is colourless, odourless, tasteless and mostly inert gas. The element nitrogen was discovered as a separable component of air, by Scottish physician Daniel Rutherford, in 1772.

Nitrogen makes up approximately 78% of the air we breathe at sea level. So there is an abundant supply of inert gas if we can remove the other reactive component of air listed.
1) Nitrogen – 78%
2) Oxygen – 20.9%
3) Argon – 0.9%
4) Carbon Dioxide – 0.038%
5) Other ‘rare’ gases: – Hydrogen ,Neon ,Helium , Krypton , Xenon

Applications use nitrogen because it is a clean. Dry gas (dew point <-50ᵒC) that is insert and removes oxygen from the product or production process. Oxygen is an essential gas for life, but can have very undesirable effects under certain circumstances.
- Prevent oxidation of material
- Stop bacteriological growth
- Reduce the risk of combustion and explosion
Traditional methods of nitrogen supply
90% of the global consumption of nitrogen comes from a gas company. Normally the nitrogen is supplied, as a gas in cylinders, or as a liquid in small liquid storage vessels (mini tanks) or large bulk liquid storage vessels.
The user would normally pay a unit cost for the nitrogen, plus rental for the storage medium and delivery charges.

Membrane technology uses bundles of hollow fibres contained within a tube. The fibre walls selectively separate compressed air by diffusing oxygen and other waste gases to the atmosphere while retaining nitrogen and allowing it to pass through the centre of the fibres to the application.
The fibres are made from Polyphenylene oxide and are “Spun” at one of the parker’s modern production facilities.
This provides parker with complete control over the quality of the fibres produced which are the most permeable and one of the most robust available.

Pressure swing adsorption ,(PSA), technology uses columns of carbon molecular sieves (CMS), to separate compressed air , Oxygen and other waste gases are selectively adsorbed under pressure by the CMS , allowing nitrogen to pass through to the application.
The CMS is regenerated by releasing the pressure in the columns and venting the waste gases to the atmosphere.
The technology is called pressure swing adsorption because the operating pressure “swings” from 0 bar g up to typically 7 bar g to adsorb oxygen and from 7 bar g back to 0 bar g to desorb and release the waste gases.

Carbon molecular sieves differs from ordinary activated carbons as it has a much narrower
range of pores openings. This allows small molecules such as oxygen to penetrate the pores
and separate from nitrogen molecule that are too large to enter the CMS. The larger nitrogen
molecules by-pass the CMS and emerge as the product gas.
