One of the first portable oxygen generators, the POGS 33 unit, was deployed to Samoa in 2014 to fight the measles epidemic. It provides 30 liters of oxygen per minute, and is self-contained and requires minimal maintenance. These units are easy to transport and operate independently or in a combination. They can fill cylinders and operate medical equipment.
When a company uses nitrogen to package a product, they must be aware of the safety hazards of oxygen in the head space. They must also make sure that the nitrogen that is pumped into the system does not backflow into the container.
Modified atmosphere packaging is a technique that uses gas flushing to reduce oxidation, which can cause discoloration, off-flavors, and spoilage. The film is also designed to keep out ambient gases and moisture, which double up its preservation efforts.
The importance of nitrogen in manufacturing is well known. Despite its high value, this gas has been underused. Traditionally, industries only used nitrogen for cleaning and drying purposes.
In the age of globalization, the demand for efficient and cost-effective products has increased. As a result, it has become important to produce nitrogen gas on-site to meet this demand. In addition, generating nitrogen on-site will reduce the need for external suppliers.
The cost benefits of on-site nitrogen generation are significant. It eliminates the need to purchase expensive cylinders and reduces downtime.
A large snack food packager recently opened its second packaging facility and purchased a nitrogen generator from CGT. The first nitrogen generator was purchased five years ago, and the new company was interested in acquiring a second nitrogen generator for their second facility.
A PSA nitrogen generator works by injecting a high pressure nitrogen gas into a tank. The air passes over an adsorbent that inhibits the formation of nitrogen gas.
Nitrogen is a gas that is slightly lighter than air. It is also soluble in water. While it is commonly thought of as an inert gas, it actually has a wide range of uses in industries and processes.
This new system utilizes a membrane to separate oxygen from nitrogen and passes it over a highly skidded and modular adsorbent material. The engineered adsorbent material binds oxygen and nitrogen and then exits the system.
