What is PSA Technology

The nitrogen gas in our nitrogen generators is generated using the latest PSA technology. PSA stands for Pressure Swing Adsorption. This technology generates nitrogen of a very high purity. This is important because a minimum purity of 98% is required to prevent and fight mic corrosion. All of our nitrogen generators for sprinkler systems use PSA technology.

Advantages PSA technology

• Very pure nitrogen up to 99.9995% (depending on model)
• Continuous supply of 1 to 75,000 SCFH nitrogen product
• Up to 30% less energy consumption compared to membrane filtration
• Safe and reliable
• Lower maintenance costs (filters last 2 times as long)

How does PSA technology work

PSA generators use an advanced carbon molecular filter (CMS). This CMS is located in a vessel, into which air flows. All molecules from the air are captured in the CMS. By increasing the pressure in the CMS, the N2 (nitrogen) molecules are filtered and discharged to the nitrogen collection tank. By decreasing the pressure, all other molecules flow out of the CMS and the tank can refill with air.
