Nitrogen Generators are manufactured using two technologies, namely Membrane technology and Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology. One of the core technologies is PSA, using Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) adsorbent. The PSA process utilizing CMS is an extremely productive way of producing high purity nitrogen gas from compressed air.

What are CMS and PSA? PSA Pressure Swing Adsorption, an air separation technique, allows the segregation of the mixture of gases into its individual components by using a solid medium, i.e. CMS adsorbs some proportion of the gas mixture under pressure.

CMS Basically, CMS is the bed of small carbon particles.

pass on. This happens because of the mill micron size of the nitrogen molecules. The CMS pores are of the perfect size to let oxygen enter and adsorb but the nitrogen molecules are too big and therefore pass through the purification column.

The two-stage cycle of the PSA process; 1. The Adsorption stageThis is the stage where moisture, oxygen and carbon dioxide molecules present in compressed air are adsorbed onto the porous structure of the carbon molecular sieve whereas Nitrogen molecules pass through the column and goes into the storage vessel.

2. The Regeneration StageThis is the stage where the pressure normalizes via quick de-pressurization and the adsorbed molecules are released to the atmosphere. A constant temperature is required in this process that as close to an ambient.
