What is a Nitrogen Generator?
A nitrogen generator is a device that produces nitrogen (N2) from ambient air. This is achieved through the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process, which separates nitrogen molecules from oxygen molecules. The result is high-purity nitrogen, which is used in various industrial applications. BERG nitrogen generators offer a purity range of 97% to 99.999% and capacities from 1.4 to 1600 Nm³/h.
How Does a Nitrogen Generator Work?
The Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process is at the heart of a nitrogen compressor. In this process, ambient air is passed through an adsorber that binds oxygen molecules and allows nitrogen to pass through. This high-purity nitrogen can be stored in a nitrogen tank and used as needed. Thanks to BERG’s advanced control technology, our nitrogen generators can be monitored and maintained worldwide, ensuring maximum operational safety.

For which applications and industries are BERG nitrogen generators suitable?
Food and Beverage Applications
Nitrogen gas is a popular gas in the food industry. It is used in order to prolong the shelf life of food packages in a healthy manner and to protect them from microorganisms or to protect the fluid raw material during production. Moreover, as nitrogen gas cannot be metabolized and adsorbed by microorganisms, they protect the existence in the environment and the creation of a vacuum environment inside the package is prevented. Dry nuts, chips, confectionary, coffee, tea and dried foods are among the examples to be given in this field.
Food Gas
As different than packaging dry nuts, food gas applications use nitrogen gas produced in the generator to mix with CO2 and to send to the packages. Due to the bacteriostatic and fungal static properties of CO2 gas, microorganisms are prevented from developing on products such as meat, chicken and dairy products which have been subject to advanced procedures. This practice is used for packaging products such as pastry, chicken-meat which have undergone advanced procedures, milk and dairy products, ravioli, sausages-salami.
N2 Blanket for Fruit Juice and Carbonated Beverages
Blanket applications are mostly used at fruit juice and carbonated beverage packaging facilities. Nitrogen is used to remove the oxygen inside the packaged bottle and a modified atmosphere is created as a result. This way, product’s shelf life is also prolonged.
Production
While transferring fluid raw materials such as hot cacao, nitrogen gas is given to prevent burning or spoiling as a result of contact with oxygen in the pipeline. This way, whilst production continues without any raw material loss, transfer of the fluid is supported as a driving power.
Vegetable Oils Applications
Atmospheric oxygen causes a chemical reaction when fatty acid attacks triglyceride molecules. Oxygen and humidity is removed from the environment thanks to nitrogen gas practices and oil’s structure is preserved.
Nitrogen Blanket
Nitrogen gas creates an inert atmosphere inside the storage tanks and ensures that the oxygen and humidity is removed. Products remain stable and they are stored in a humid free environment without changing the amount of acidity and the taste does not change. The pressure of the nitrogen gas compressed into blanket tanks is increased to help with the transfer of the oil.
Line and Bottle Cleaning and Drying
Due to the hygiene requirement in food processes, this application type that is constantly applied keeps equipment and pipelines free of any microbiological contamination and oxygen increase (rust) and they are swept with compressed nitrogen gas for this purpose. Before oil is filled, bottles are filled with dry and clean nitrogen to remove any gas and dusts inside the bottle. This way, oxidization reactions are prevented. After the bottles are filled, the space left at the top is filled with nitrogen gas.
Oil and Gas Applications and power plant applications
These plants which are generally established at those locations far away from the cities need nitrogen gas where İdeal Makina provides significant advantages by offering these plants the possibility to generate their own gas “on-site”. Blanket is created on demineralized water tanks with nitrogen gas and water’s conductivity is prevented from increasing. Nitrogen gas is used to ensured that the mechanical seals of turbo compressors are leakproof. Nitrogen gas is used to wash and prevent corrosion and rusting when the boilers and pipelines are not in use. In order to calculate the calorific value of raw materials such as coal before they burn accurately and to purify them of other factors such as humidity and oil, nitrogen gas is used.
Laser Cutting industry Applications
Nitrogen gas, which is used in the laser cutting industry to capture a quality cutting surface, is used to remove oxidation due to its inert gas feature and to remove burrs under the machine by means of pressure.
CO2 Laser Machines, In CO2 laser machines, the generation of the laser beam is based on a CO2-weighted gas mixture. While nitrogen gas is used to clean the particle, other gas and water vapor in the beam path inside the bench, it also acts as a cooler. In addition, thanks to the pressurized nitrogen gas, oxidation and similar reactions can be prevented during cutting and slag formation is not observed on the cutting surface. CO2 benches can cut thicker and harder metals than other types thanks to nitrogen.
Fiber Laser Machines, Fiber laser cutting machines have become widespread in recent years. These machines, which are faster than CO2 machines, process relatively thinner metals. Since the laser beams are carried via fiber cables, there is no need for beam path cleaning. Pressurized nitrogen gas is transmitted directly to the cutting area, resulting in an increase in cutting quality. Another advantage of nitrogen gas is that it provides faster cutting compared to other gases thanks to its thrust force.
No oxidation appears on the cutting surface when cutting with nitrogen gas in Stainless Steel. But nitrogen gas must be of high purity. The high purity nitrogen gas produced with NITROBERG® Generators guarantees bright and burr-free cutting surfaces.
Since aluminum sheet is softer than other sheets, the oxygen present in the environment during cutting causes yellowing of the cutting surface. In addition, the cutting surface is cooled by using nitrogen gas during cutting and burrs on the surface are prevented.
Electronics and Communication industry Applications
Nitrogen gas is used within the electronics and communication industry to prevent oxidation by ensuring an oxygen-free environment during the assembly of circuit cards, packaging and soldering procedures and it ensures superior quality products are obtained. Nitrogen gas ensures that several errors are eliminated.
Lead-free Soldering
Nitrogen gas is used to eliminate a number of errors. It is possible to prevent the oxidation layer on metal surfaces. The resistance of joint points of the solders are increased. Less clinker is accumulated on the surfaces where the procedures take place. One of the most important mistakes which causes Head-In-Pillow problem can be prevented. And together with all of these advantages, workmanship costs are reduced for production.
Soldering After Remelting
Nitrogen gas is used inside remelting ovens to reduce a number of errors. It is possible to prevent the oxidation layer on metal surfaces. Resistance of the joints on the solders are increased. Less clinker is accumulated on the surfaces where procedures take place. One of the most crucial mistakes, which is the Head-in-Pillow problem can be prevented via this method.
Protective Atmosphere During Assembly
The nitrogen gas used during assembly allows lower procedure temperatures. Moreover, it ensures that the procedures can be done with ease and allows the creation of a wider process window.
Effective Nitrogen Production with NITROBERG®
BERG reduces the rate of erroneous production within solder ovens thanks to the systems that it establishes with German BERG GaseTech Nitrogen Generators. One of the primary errors in this sense is called Head-In-Pillow error. Highly pure nitrogen gas prevents these errors and production becomes more effective. In general, it is possible to save time, temperature and costs during production.
Pharmaceutical Applications
- High pressure nitrogen gas is used to ensure that the chemical products are carried from one tank to the other in a safe manner.
- The equipment used during production and for analytical assays may be cleaned by purging with nitrogen gas to remove the oxygen and water vapour within process lines.
- Blanket with nitrogen prevents contamination from the air such as humidity and bacteria, creates an inert atmosphere, protects the products and prevents any lumps to be formed.
- Nitrogen gas is used to manufacture API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) and to manufacture final drug products. It is used to create the appropriate atmosphere during sterile packaging and during filter control tests.
Chemicals industry Applications
Nitrogen gas is most commonly used within the chemicals industry during the inertization, sweeping and blanket procedures of flammable and explosive chemicals by preventing their contact with air or oxygen.
Blanketing
During tank blanketing, nitrogen is frequently used to reduce the risk of burning highly flammable materials, to prevent the oxidation of the materials that are stored and to eliminate product losses which occur as a result of vaporization. Moreover, it is also used to protect the chemicals from other factors coming from the air such as humidity and particles and to prevent the harmful vapor from spreading into the atmosphere air that we breathe.
Transfer
High pressure nitrogen gas is used to transfer chemical products from one tank to another tank in a safe manner.
Sweeping
Nitrogen is used to remove atmosphere residue oxygen and humidity found in procedure areas such as tanks, silos and pipelines in a safe manner. Sweeping procedure protects procedure areas from contamination and chemical reactions.
Production
Practices such as drying and mixing processes which cause oxidation reactions in chemical production areas can be taken under control with an atmosphere comprised of nitrogen.
Application of nitrogen in tires and aviation
When nitrogen is used in tires, vehicle tires are filled with high-purity nitrogen, which contains a gas mixture of nitrogen, oxygen and trace elements, instead of normal air. This process is facilitated by on-site nitrogen generators when tires are filled with nitrogen.
