Nitrogen generator efficiency
Nitrogen generator efficiency
(OP)
Dear All:
In my site I have a nitrogen generator made by Generon mod. HP 4202. I was trying to calculate the production price of this nitrogen machine, but I couldn't find any information even contacting the supplier. The only information that I have is that the compressed air temperature and that the purity of nitrogen demanded influence the output of the machine, but nobody could tell me how many m3 of compressed air at 10 bar do I need in order to have 1 m3 of nitrogen at 2% O2.
Does anybody have any indicative figures regarding this?
Thanks a lot.

My experience is that for a system with 99% purity, with 7barg inlet air pressure and 5barg nitrogen pressure the yield was around 20% including regereration of CMS beds and Alumina beds and that will be a safe bet.

Keep in mind that the nitrogen membranes has a quite high effeciency loss over a "limited time" of operating. Actually, you should replace them after some 3-4 years. And ofcourse, use the Medal membranes: htt
