The signature offers generators of gas in situ that they can combine with an existent installation of air compressesed

Atlas Copco presents three ranges of generators of nitrogen and oxygen for the generation of gas in situ. With these innovative generators of gas, the companies can expand his installation of existent compressesed air to generate his own nitrogen and oxygen. An independent supply of gas in situ can generate considerable economies of scale to the time and save operative costs. The new range of generators of gas in situ of Atlas Copco is designed to fulfil the most strict norms of purity and offer an economic operation in big and small applications.

The gas generated in situ is more sustainable and profitable that the gas supplied in bottles or to granel, since it deletes the operative costs and officials related with the processing of requests, transport, storage and delivery of the bottles or delivery to granel in cryogenic tanks. With an independent supply of nitrogen and oxygen, the demand of gas of the companies satisfies always to time and with the lower possible cost. Koen Lauwers, vice-president of Marketing of the Industrial Division Air of Atlas Copco, comments: “With these new ranges of generators of gas, our customers will increase drastically his productivity. We help them to discover potential of saving still without taking advantage of by means of economies of scale: combining his systems of air compressesed with the production of nitrogen and/or oxygen to attend his specific needs”.

Thanks to his high efficiency and reliability, the generator of nitrogen of membrane (the NGM) of Atlas Copco is ideal for applications like prevention of fires, inflado of tyres, cleaning of tanks and pipes and many other marine applications, oil, gas and minería. The NGM employs the separation of air by membrane to produce the nitrogen. A do of fibres of polymer acts like membrane that allows that it happen the nitrogen and that infiltrate other gases (like the oxygen, steam of water and carbon dioxide). The air compressesed heads to the entrance and the nitrogen enriched goes out by the another extreme of the generator. The technology of membrane generates nitrogen with an adjustable purity and discharges until 500 m³/h.

For the applications that demand a high degree of purity of the nitrogen (until 99,999%), the generator of nitrogen (NGP) with technology PSA is the solution recommended. According to the technology of adsorption by change of pressesure (ACP), the molecular sieves of coal adsorben the molecules of oxygen of the air compressesed. The generator of nitrogen has two towers connected that work boards to produce an almost continuous discharge of gas nitrogen. The result: some levels of purity of the nitrogen of until a 99,999 % for discharges of until 1100 Nm³/h. The typical applications of the NGP are the packaging, moldeo of plastic, metallurgy, analysers of purge, electronic, storage of fruit as well as the manufacturing of foods and drunk.

The oxygen is vital in processes of the medical sector, waste treatment water, piscicultura and production of ozone. The generator of oxygen OGP also employs the technology PSA, with zeolite granulated that acts like adsorbente. The result is an oxygen with an adjustable purity between 90% and 95% and some discharges of until 200 Nm³/h.

Nitrogen and oxygen in situ like part of a total solution

Atlas Copco offers now generators of gas in situ that they can combine directly with an existent installation of air compressesed. With an independent supply of nitrogen and oxygen, the companies can begin to save operative costs and derivative officials of the supply of gas in bottles and to granel. These three ranges of generators of nitrogen and oxygen offer exactly the discharges and purities that need the distinct industrial applications. Atlas Copco converts like this in an integral provider of air compressesed, gas and service.
