Get on-demand nitrogen with these generators

| By Chemical Engineering

Parker Hannifin

The latest version of the Midigas (photo) and Maxigas onsite nitrogen generators are available now for a wide range of applications, including modified atmosphere packaging, purging, blanketing and pressure transfer. The on-demand nitrogen generators produce nitrogen from compressed air onsite and offer an alternative to traditional nitrogen gas storage cylinders or bulk storage equipment. Midigas, designed for small- to medium-nitrogen requirements, and Maxigas, for medium to large needs, can offer significant savings in nitrogen costs, with equipment payback in 12–24 months, and ongoing savings of up to 90%, says the manufacturer. The systems produce nitrogen according to the demands of downstream processes, which limits waste and reduces overall energy consumption. — Parker Hannifin Ltd., Industrial Division, Birtley, U.K.
