Industrial Nitrogen Generators
Many industries require a reliable supply of industrial gases for their processes. Nitrogen is a standard gas used in applications ranging from preservation to inerting fuel systems. Whatever your industry and application, you can produce this gas on-site using nitrogen generators. This infrastructure eliminates the dependence on cylinders or bulk liquid nitrogen.
Quincy Compressor offers Pneumatech nitrogen generators to equip your operation. With our support, you can establish a reliable gas supply for your processes.

Understanding Nitrogen Generators
Nitrogen naturally makes up about 78% of Earth’s atmosphere by volume, but some applications require a higher purity. Nitrogen generators allow you to control the amount, purity and pressure of your supply, ensuring you always have it available when needed.
The Nitrogen Generation Process
Nitrogen generators separate nitrogen from oxygen in compressed air. Two methods exist for producing it:
- Membrane generators: These machines pass compressed air through a separation membrane. Nitrogen flows through much more slowly, creating a nitrogen stream at the outlet. Membrane generators produce a lower purity of about 90 to 99%.
- Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) generators: Applications requiring nitrogen purity of 99.999% or higher use these generators, which employ a carbon molecular sieve to strip oxygen from source compressed air. The technology consists of two adsorption columns, one actively separating while the other regenerates.
Why Invest in an On-Site Nitrogen Generator?
An on-site industrial nitrogen generator provides many benefits for your operations, including cost savings. Avoid purchasing, transporting and storing cylinders. On-site generators also enable greater flexibility and scalability. You can tailor your supply to meet your production needs as they grow and change over time.
These machines enhance quality by giving you a continuous supply, eliminating delays and downtime. You also gain custom purity levels to suit your application rather than relying on the purity levels set by suppliers.
On-site generation provides environmental benefits, including energy efficiency. Modern generator models are highly efficient, lowering your energy costs. By using a generator, you eliminate the carbon generated during transport.
How Industries Use Nitrogen Gas Generators
Nitrogen serves the following industries:
- Agriculture: This gas helps with tasks ranging from preserving crops in storage to enhancing safety during equipment maintenance.
- Automotive: Whether you’re inflating tires or performing laser cutting, nitrogen supports your work.
- Food and beverage: Many operations use nitrogen to preserve freshness when packaging food products. This gas also serves beverage bottling applications.
- Plumbing: Test for leaks, purge pipes and more with a reliable on-site nitrogen supply.
