MIDIGAS nitrogen gas generators from Parker domnick hunter produce nitrogen gas from compressed air and offer a cost-effective, reliable and safe alternative to traditional nitrogen gas supplies such as cylinder or liquid. Nitrogen is used as a clean, dry, inert gas primarily for removing oxygen from products and/or processes. MIDIGAS provides an on-demand, continuous source of nitrogen gas which can be used in a wide range of industries such as food, beverage, pharmaceutical, laboratory, chemical, heat treatment, electronics, transportation, oil and gas and laser cutting.

Pre-treatment solutions
Using high quality compressed air to supply MIDIGAS nitrogen generators will ensure long and trouble free service and optimum performance. To guarantee this, Parker domnick hunter offers a unique suite of pre-treatment solutions including PNEUDRI desiccant air dryers and OILX EVOLUTION coalescing filters which provide delivered air quality in accordance with the quality classification 3.2.2 from ISO 8573-1:2001, the international standard for compressed air quality.
How it works
MIDIGAS operates via the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) principle to produce a continuous stream of nitrogen gas from compressed air. Pairs of extruded aluminium columns are filled with carbon molecular sieve (CMS). Pre-treated compressed air enters the bottom of the online column and flows up through the CMS. Oxygen and other trace gases are preferentially adsorbed by the CMS, allowing nitrogen to pass through. After a pre-set time the on-line column automatically switches to regenerative mode, venting contaminants from the CMS. Carbon molecular sieve differs from ordinary activated carbons as it has a much narrower range of pore openings. This allows small molecules such as oxygen to penetrate the pores and separate from nitrogen molecules which are too large to enter the CMS. The larger nitrogen molecules by-pass the CMS and emerge as the product gas.
