    This document provides an overview of a package that includes air compressors, a refrigerated air dryer, and a PSA nitrogen generator system. It describes the basic operation of an oil-flooded rotary screw compressor and refrigerated dryer. The bulk of the document explains how the PSA nitrogen generator works to separate nitrogen from compressed air through preferential adsorption of oxygen and other gases onto carbon molecular sieve towers. It provides start-up, normal operation, and regeneration procedures for the nitrogen generator. Notes are included about maintaining sufficient nitrogen flow for a fuel gas compressor system and general maintenance guidelines.

    PSA Nitrogen Generator – How it Works
    Air Composition We call this a Nitrogen (N2) Generator but it is not generating
    N2 just separating the Oxygen from the compressed air to
    increase the N2 purity. Two towers are filled with Carbon
    Molecular Sieve (CMS). Oxygen & other trace gasses are
    preferentially adsorbed by the CMS, allowing the nitrogen to
    pass through the tower without absorption thus increasing
    the nitrogen purity. There is a limit to how much Oxygen can
    be absorbed into the CMS so after a pre-set time the towers
    switch, from production of N2 to regeneration. During
    regeneration a small amount of clean dry N2 from the
    discharge is expanded into the tower being regenerated.
    Oxygen & other trace gases desorb into the dry low pressure
    N2 & are discharged as an Oxygen rich permeate into the
    atmosphere via a silencer.

    5
    Starting up Dry Air
    1. Open inlet valve to the N2 generator, open inlet valve N2 Off Spec
    to the N2 Receiver Tank RT-01, close Receiver Tank
    outlet valve.
    2. Start up the system, ensuring there is enough
    Compressed Air supply (8 ~ 9.5 Barg).
    3. Open RT-01 drain valve slightly, maintaining tank
    pressure at 5.5 ~ 6.5 Barg. This is to purge air from the
    tank and fill the tank with N2.

    6
    Dry Air
    Starting up N2 On Spec
    1. When N2 have reached 98% purity, close the N2 O2 Riched
    Receiver tank drain valve and open the receiver tank
    Outlet valve.

    7
    Dry Air
    Regeneration N2 On Spec
    1. Regeneration occurs simultaneously with N2 O2 Riched
    production.
    2. A small amount of on spec N2 is expanded to
    near atmospheric pressure & regenerates the
    tower not in production.

    8
    Normal Operation (AT-01)
    1. AT-01 Production of N2, AT-02 on Regeneration.
    2. The Cycle repeats to a set time
    3. An O2 sensor monitors to ensure that the N2
    purity is correct
    4. If N2 purity is too low a buzzer sounds & an Dry Air
    alarm flashes. N2 On Spec
    O2 Riched

    9
    Normal Operation (AT-02)
    1. AT-02 Production of N2, AT-01 on Regeneration.
    2. The Cycle repeats to a set time
    3. An O2 sensor monitors to ensure that the N2
    purity is correct
    4. If N2 purity is too low a buzzer sounds & an Dry Air
    alarm flashes. N2 On Spec
    O2 Riched

    Notes for the N2 Generator

    As long as there is Natural Gas in the Fuel Gas Compressor system, N2 must be provided for
    the FGC sealing to prevent NG from leaking to the atmosphere.

    When fully Operational to avoid low N2 purity alarms;


    1. The N2 flow should not exceed the design flow of 240 Nm3/hr. Check Fl 681-1
    2. The Pressure Regulating Valve PRV 451-1 should be set to maintain 6.5 barg in the
    discharge pipe from the N2 buffer tank.

    General Maintenance for N2 Generator

    Please refer to N2 Generator User manual for maintenance.
