Nitrogen production method

     Nitrogen (N2) is a colorless, odorless gas which makes up roughly 78% of the earth’s atmosphere. Nitrogen is defined as a simple asphyxiant having an inerting quality which is utilized in many applications where oxidation is not desired.
  1. Fractional distillation of liquid air

Fractional Distillation
     Pure gases can be separated from air by first cooling it until it liquefies, then selectively distilling the components at their various boiling temperatures. The process can produce high purity gases but is very energy-intensive. 


Pressure Swing Adsorption 
    Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) is a technology used to separate some gas species from a mixture of gases under pressure according to the species' molecular characteristics and affinity for an adsorbent material. It operates at near-ambient temperatures and differs significantly from cryogenic distillation techniques of gas separation. Specific adsorptive materials (e.g., zeolites, activated carbon, molecular sieves, etc.) are used as a trap, preferentially adsorbing the target gas species at high pressure.  


Membrane
     Membrane Technology utilizes a permeable fiber which selectively separates the air depending on the speeds of the molecules of the constituents. This process requires a conditioning of the Feed air due to the clearances in the fiber which are the size of a human hair.
