In the early years of air separation, Oxygen has been the most widely used component in the steel industry.
This situation began to change when nitrogen was no longer considered as a\waste product and jts inert
properties could be exploited as a blanketing gas. Today, nitrogen is used in a most of applications, including:

+ Blanketing of metal reduction processes

You can save up to 300% of Nitrogen costs by generator your own nitrogen on-site.
The ideal solution lies in a range of proven gas generation solutions from HATCO, which enable users to
produce their total demand of nitrogen gas on their premises, under their complete control
‘As a result, companies can generate as much or as little nitrogen as needed at the required purity and at a
fraction of the cost of having gas delivered by an external supplier.
By generating your own nitrogen on site, you can dramatically reduce your nitrogen supply costs-and save on:

etsSystem Types:
HATCO supplies two types of PSA Generators:
+ Twin Tower Nitrogen Generators
+ Sequential Nitrogen Generators
Process Description:
The HATCO nitrogen generators extract the available nitrogen in the ambient air from the other gases by
applying the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology via Twin Tower Adsorption method.
The adsorption separation is accomplished in the following process steps: aN
1. Feed Air Compression and Conditioning
The ambient (inlet) air is compressed by an air
compressor, subsequently dried by an air dryer and
filtered before entering the process vessels.
2. Pressurization and Adsorption
The pre-treated air is passes into a vessel filled with
Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) where the oxygen is
adsorbed preferentially in the CMS pores so that
nitrogen with an adjustable purity (down to a
residual 02 content of 50 ppm) remains in the gas
stream. Before the adsorption capacity of the CMS is
fully utilized, the nitrogen separation process is
interrupted and the switching of the adsorber vessels
is initiated.
3. Desorption
The saturated CMS Is regenerated (Le. the adsorbed
gases are released) by means of pressure reduction
below that of the adsorption step. This is achieved
by a simple pressure swing system. The resultant
waste stream is vented into atmosphere through a
silencer/muffler. the regenerated adsorbent can now
be used again for the generation of nitrogen.
4.Nitrogen Product
Adsorption and desorption take place alternately at equal time intervals. This means that the continuous
generation of nitrogen can be achieved with two adsorbers, one being switched at adsorption and the other
at regeneration. The result is a constant stream of on-site produced high purity nitrogen at cost significantly
below that of liquid or bottled gases.
Nitrogen Sequential PSA Series
A dedicated solution for Large Capacities and Consumptions
The Nitrogen Sequential PSA process consists of multiple individual Twin Tower Adsorber Vessels operating
on alternating cycles. By utilizing this sequential operation of the individual PSAs, the requirement of large
buffer tanks is eliminated from the process.

knowledge and experience is the one what

This prevents bed movement during operation to
eliminate attrition, breakdown and leakage paths
which could lead to premature failure or loss of

4- ‘Snow storm’ filling ensures consistent
nitrogen purity
HATCO PSA nitrogen generators utilize a
technique known as snow storm filling’ to charge
the adsorption columns with CMS.
Benefits:
+ Achieves maximum packing density for the CMS
material, fully utilizing all of the available space
envelope,
+ Less CMS required and prevents compressed ait
channeling through the CMS as experienced with
most conventional designs. Due to channeling,
conventional designs require more CMS to
achieve an identical purity, increasing physical
size, operational and maintenance costs.

+ Prevents CMS attrition which can lead to dusting,
blocked filters, silencers and catastrophic loss of

amount of CMS required and overall lifetime costs.
+ 100% of (MS is regenerated ensuring a very stable
and consistent nitrogen purty.
+ Provides 2 low, equal resistance to flow, allowing
multiple CMS chambers and multiple generator
