Nitrogen Gas Compressors supply an inert buffer on selected gas compressor and gas turbine installations to prevent flammable or toxic gases from leaking into the atmosphere. They are also used in industrial processes for pressurizing dry seals to hold pressure and prevent ice formation in low temperatures. Nitrogen is also used to purge or blanket process equipment and containers to remove any flammable vapors that could be ignited by flame or heat, and can protect vessels and equipment from moisture and contamination that might cause unwanted reactions or even fires.

Breweries use nitrogen to clean tanks between batches and transfer beer from one tank to another; it is injected into kegs for pressurization before shipping or storing and helps displace oxygen in food packaging so that chips don’t get stale when opened. The same applies to electronics manufacturing and chemical industries, where nitrogen is used to dispense and seal delicate products and devices like vacuum pumps, reactors, pressure vessels and components to prevent leakage.

Nitrogen Gas Compressor: Key Features and Uses

PDC Machines’ nitrogen diaphragm compressors are fully instrumented for safe and easy operation. Our high-efficiency systems reduce horsepower requirements and energy consumption to keep operating costs down. They are also reprimed automatically at start-up to eliminate the risk of incorrect priming which can damage process and hydraulic system heads, bolts, O-rings, diaphragms and more.

Our PSA nitrogen generators separate high-purity nitrogen from compressed air using hollow fiber membrane technology. Air passes through the adsorption tower where the adsorbent material inhibits nitrogen molecules but allows oxygen, water vapor and other impurities to pass through for separation and recovery. The nitrogen is then fed into a storage vessel for safe and reliable operation. On-site generation of nitrogen is more cost-effective than relying on bulk or liquid nitrogen from cylinders and saves time, money and resources by eliminating the need to move heavy cylinders throughout the facility.
