Nitrogen Generator Cumbernauld

On-Site Nitrogen Generation Cumbernauld

On-site nitrogen generation enables businesses to produce their own nitrogen, eliminating the need for bottled deliveries. This typically costs less and gives you control over your supply.

Design Air (Scotland) has been working with businesses in Cumbernauld and central Scotland for over 20 years. We supply compressed air services, including nitrogen generation systems.

What Is On-Site Nitrogen Generation?

Nitrogen makes up about 78% of the Earth’s atmosphere. Nitrogen generators use compressed air from your compressor and separate the nitrogen using membranes or pressure swing adsorption.

Your own generator produces the volume and purity your processes need, when you need it.

What Standards Can On-Site Generators Achieve?

On-site generation can produce high-purity nitrogen. The Atlas Copco PSA Generators can produce nitrogen that is more than 99.999% pure.

This works for demanding applications. You set the specifications you need rather than buying nitrogen that exceeds your requirements.

What Are The Benefits Of On-Site Gas Generation?

If you use nitrogen in your processes, on-site generation has several advantages:

  • You control your nitrogen supply without planning around cylinder delivery schedules.
  • Nitrogen bottles require secure storage and careful handling. A generator removes the need for heavy bottles.
  • You eliminate the transport emissions from regular bottle deliveries. This matters for businesses in Cumbernauld's industrial areas.
  • You set the specifications your processes need, which reduces waste and costs.
  • On-site nitrogen generation typically costs about half of bottled deliveries. Some businesses recover their investment within six months.

What Businesses Can Generate Nitrogen?

Most businesses that use nitrogen can generate it on-site. Modern generators are compact and work reliably.

They produce oxygen and water as by-products, so they can operate safely in Cumbernauld’s industrial estates.
