Atlas Copco NGP+ nitrogen generator

Atlas Copco Compressors Australia is releasing the NGP+, an improved on-site nitrogen generator with PSA technology. This generator can be plugged into an existing compressed air network and produces nitrogen with purities of up to 99.999%. Combining the NGP+ with Atlas Copco’s latest compressors, an on-site nitrogen installation can offer significant benefits compared to buying nitrogen in bulk or cylinders.

On-site nitrogen generators offer a more sustainable and cost-efficient solution than gas delivered in cylinders or bulk liquid, which require transport, handling and administration. In the atmosphere around us there is approximately 78% nitrogen and extracting the nitrogen is not as complex as it may seem. A nitrogen generator such as the NGP+ simply plugs into an existing compressed air installation and offers an independent, reliable and flexible supply of nitrogen.

The NGP+ works with PSA (pressure swing adsorption) technology: carbon molecular sieves (CMS) that adsorb oxygen molecules from compressed air. By using the highest quality CMS and perfect tuning to the compressed air network, the NGP+ adsorbs more oxygen for the same input of compressed air. Its sensors and monitoring features are said to ensure reliability, optimal performance and energy efficiency. The NGP+ also comes with extensive features to easily adjust the nitrogen purity and pressure as well as remote monitoring. The NGP+ is available in flows from 1.6 to 172 L/s.
