The Texol Micro series of mid-flow industrial nitrogen generators have been designed for processes that require a moderate continual demand of nitrogen gas at a consistent grade of purity. The Micro models can be used with an existing compressed air supply or can be offered with a full compressor and air preparation package.

When used as a direct replacement for cylinder or liquid nitrogen supplies, a Micro nitrogen generator can typically provide payback in 12-18 months. Our technicians can advise on process requirements and generator selection and can offer full installation, commissioning, and maintenance services.

The Micro Nitrogen Generator Description of Operation

Prior to entering the generator, compressed air is pre-conditioned by a series of filters and dryers. The clean, oil-free air is then passed through a set of process control valves (1) and enters the Pressure Swing Adsorption desiccant columns (3, 4). One column adsorbs the oxygen at elevated pressure while the other column recharges in a continuous cycle.

The high purity nitrogen flows through the columns, past a further set of control valves (6) before collecting in the N2 reserve tank (7). The trapped oxygen in the regenerating column is expelled through exhaust valves (2) and silencers (5). The cycle then repeats. An integral controller monitors nitrogen demand and only produces nitrogen when required.
