Such an inert gas as nitrogen is widely used in various spheres of industrial and economic human activity. The list includes:
- Ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy - in the coke-chemical production of smelting, for annealing, laser cutting and hardening.
- Oil and gas industry - for the safe purging and cleaning of pipeline systems.
- In the chemical industry - as a completely non-flammable gaseous substance.
For the production of gas on an industrial scale, several different methods are used, but the most effective is the absorption generation method, and the generator nitrogen plants MAS Systems (a design and production company for this type of equipment) are practical and functional in operation.
How an Absorption Genset Works
The absorption method of nitrogen production refers to a fairly simple technological process, which makes it possible to use it in a wide variety of areas of production and laboratory activities. At the same time, it allows the production of high-purity gas (up to 99.9995%) in industrial volumes. The technology looks like this:
- Compressed air is supplied under a certain pressure into a special sealed chamber containing an absorbent.
- In the course of a chemical reaction, the absorbent absorbs all the substances in the air (the bulk is oxygen).
- At the outlet, the consumer receives a sufficiently high-quality (clean) gas nitrogen, which is filled in special cylinders of various capacities and under the pressure necessary for further use.
For non-stop operation of the generator, it has 2 chambers with absorbent. When one of them is saturated with oxygen, it is shut off for process purging, and the flow is redirected to another similar chamber.
You can get more detailed information on the technical characteristics of absorption generating sets using the official website of the manufacturer and supplier of this type of equipment to the domestic market.
