INMATEC, with over 9,000 systems installed worldwide, is a leader in innovative nitrogen generation technology, supporting industries such as chemicals, food, and beverage. Generating nitrogen on-site offers businesses greater control over the quantity, purity, and pressure, eliminating the need for third-party suppliers and reducing delivery and storage costs. The purity is also continuously monitored, ensuring high-quality nitrogen is always available when needed.
The system combines INMATEC’s modified PN nitrogen generator (PNK) with the H2KAT hydrogen converter. The compressed air is filtered and dried before nitrogen is separated from the air using PSA technology and a high-quality carbon molecular sieve. Initially at a purity of 0.1% O2 (degree of purity 3.0), the nitrogen is then enriched with hydrogen in the H2KAT to remove residual oxygen, resulting in nitrogen with 0.001% O2 purity (degree of purity 5.0).
This two-stage system offers significant benefits, including a reduction in compressed air consumption by 40-50%, compared to traditional nitrogen generation methods. This results in lower energy costs and smaller, more cost-effective equipment, with a reduction in CO2 emissions. INMATEC’s complete system, which includes the compressor, compressed air treatment, nitrogen generator, and hydrogen converter, provides a reliable and efficient solution for a continuous nitrogen supply.
