What is an On-Site Nitrogen Generator?
An on-site nitrogen generator separates nitrogen from ambient air and supplies it directly to your process. The feed air is compressed, cooled, dried and filtered before it enters the separation stage.
In a PSA system, carbon molecular sieve retains oxygen and other trace gases while nitrogen passes to the product receiver. In a membrane system, selected gases permeate through hollow fibres at different rates. Both methods produce nitrogen from the air already available at your facility.
The generator is only one part of a reliable installation. Stable pressure, correct compressed-air quality, suitable buffer storage, monitoring and a realistic peak-demand calculation all influence the complete system.
A useful rule from our engineers!
Do not begin with the highest possible purity. Begin with the oxygen limit your process can tolerate. Every unnecessary decimal place can increase compressed-air consumption, system size and investment cost.

Why generate nitrogen on site?
Designed around day-to-day production reality
The benefit depends on how much nitrogen you use, when you use it and what your current supply arrangement really costs.
Purity matched to the process
Avoid paying the energy penalty for nitrogen that is purer than the application actually requires.
Predictable operating costs
Replace recurring gas and delivery charges with measurable compressed-air, energy and service costs.
One accountable system
BERG can coordinate the compressor, treatment, generator, storage, controls and downstream equipment.

FAQ Nitrogen Generator
The BERG portfolio covers nitrogen purity from 97% to 99.999%, depending on technology, model and operating conditions. The correct target should be based on the process requirement because unnecessary purity increases compressed-air consumption and operating cost.
Feed-air demand depends mainly on nitrogen flow, purity, pressure and generator design. Use the published factor for the selected purity and confirm the stated reference conditions.
PSA systems use carbon molecular sieve and suit high or tightly controlled purity. Membrane systems use selective permeation and often suit compact installations with moderate purity requirements.
Yes, if the compressor provides sufficient flow, stable pressure and the required air quality. BERG should verify compressor capacity, operating profile, dryer performance and filtration.
Routine work normally includes servicing the compressed-air treatment system, inspecting valves and connections, checking instruments and verifying nitrogen purity performance.
Residual oxygen is measured to determine nitrogen quality. Depending on the selected system, values can be displayed locally, recorded, alarmed or made available for remote monitoring.
Yes. A project can include compression, air treatment, receivers, generator, nitrogen storage, controls, piping, optional boosting and skid or container integration.
Provide the application, required purity or residual oxygen, average and peak flow, outlet pressure, operating hours, installation conditions, available compressed air and applicable codes.
