The Molecular Sieve in a generator typically has a long lifespan, usually lasting 20 years plus. The actual duration can be influenced by factors like usage patterns, maintenance practices, and the quality of the sieve itself. Regular maintenance and proper filtration upstream can contribute to the extended life of the Molecular Sieve in your generator. At Specialty Gas Canada, we can guide you through the maintenance schedule and offer expert advice on when and how to replace the Molecular Sieve if and when it becomes necessary.

Depending on your specific application, the pressure and flow required from the compressed air supply to the generator will vary. For your specific requirements please refer to your quotation documents or contact our office. However, all installations must meet the following conditions:

Minimum Air Quality: IS0 8573-1:2010 class 2.4.1

Minimum Inlet Air Pressure: 87 psig (6 barg)

Maximum Inlet Air Pressure: 166 psig (11.5 barg)

Minimum Inlet Air Temperature: +5°C (41°F)

Maximum Inlet Air Temperature: +35°C (95°F)

The i-Flow is a modular-expandable range of Carbon Molecular Sieve (CMS) nitrogen gas generators, that operate based on Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology. Essentially this requires two separate columns or “beds” of granular carbon pellets.

We don't sell liquid nitrogen/oxygen or make equipment that can liquefy nitrogen/oxygen produced by our generators because it would be costly in terms of money and effort with a small return.

We can supply the gas generator, but as a user, you would have to go to a specialist to purchase and install the other equipment required for liquid nitrogen/oxygen.

Yes, multiple units can be synchronized to meet demands based on application flow rates and purity requirements (more units = greater flow rates at specified purity).

Generators typically have a lifespan that can vary depending on factors such as preventive maintenance of the system, the quality of the equipment, and environmental conditions. Our properly maintained generators can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years or more. Preventive maintenance plays a crucial role in extending the life of your generator and ensuring its reliable performance over time. If you're unsure about the lifespan of a specific generator model, our team at Specialty Gas Canada can provide you with detailed information and recommendations based on your needs.

Finding the precise Nitrogen gas requirements for Laser Cutting Applications can be challenging, especially when the requirements provided by laser cutting manufacturers are often overestimated, sometimes by as much as 80 CFM or more. At Specialty Gas Canada, we've developed a specialized tool that enables accurate measurement of high-pressure Nitrogen flow specifically for Laser Cutting Applications.

Our Nitrogen Demand Analysis offers an advanced solution that goes beyond mere estimation. This analysis provides you with a detailed, second-by-second report of Nitrogen consumption patterns, giving you a comprehensive understanding of your actual usage. With this data-driven approach, you can make informed decisions about your Nitrogen supply needs and optimize your usage efficiently.

Encountering low Nitrogen gas pressure in your Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) machine, particularly within a Thermco Gas Mixer, can arise from various factors, ranging from minor issues like clogged lines to more complex problems with the Nitrogen system itself.

At Specialty Gas Canada, we possess extensive expertise and hands-on experience in diagnosing and rectifying such challenges. Our team is well-versed in identifying the root causes behind low gas pressure and implementing effective solutions to ensure your MAP machine operates optimally.

If you're grappling with low Nitrogen gas pressure issues, we're here to help. Reach out to us at 905-971-5304, and let's have a discussion about your specific situation. With our insights and solutions, we can assist in restoring proper gas pressure, maximizing the efficiency of your MAP machine, and ensuring your packaging processes remain seamless.

When deciding between membrane and Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology for your gas separation needs, it's essential to consider your specific requirements and priorities. Both technologies have their advantages and suit different applications.

Membrane Technology

Membrane systems are cost-effective for low-purity & low-flow gas applications.

They are easy to operate.

Membrane systems are not suitable for high-flow applications in the long run.

PSA Technology

PSA systems offer higher purity levels and are suitable for critical applications like Laser Cutting, Heat Treatment, Pharmaceuticals, and industries requiring precise gas quality.

They provide greater flexibility in adjusting purity levels based on your specific needs.

PSA systems can handle variable gas demand more effectively.

If you require a consistent supply of high-purity gas, especially in fluctuating conditions, PSA technology might be the better option.

 At Specialty Gas Canada, we can help you make an informed decision. Our experienced team can assess your requirements and recommend the technology that aligns best with your goals. Feel free to contact us to discuss your specific needs and determine whether membrane or PSA technology is the right fit for you.

Here's why it matters:

1. Consistent Gas Quality: Compressed Air is a feed air to a Nitrogen or Oxygen generator and fluctuations in compressed air pressure or contaminants can affect the purity of the generated gas.
2. Energy Efficiency: High Isentropic Efficiency, in a range of 80%, of a compressor ensures that energy consumption is low, resulting in cost-effective gas production.
3. Equipment Durability: A proper compressed air system prolongs the lifespan of Nitrogen or Oxygen generators.
4. Minimized Downtime: A dependable compressed air system reduces the risk of downtime due to system glitches or inconsistent gas production.
5. Compliance and Quality Assurance: Certain industries, like medical or food manufacturing, necessitate specific gas purity levels. An appropriate compressed air system aids in meeting regulatory standards and maintaining gas quality.

 At Specialty Gas Canada, we recognize the vital relationship between compressed air systems and in-house gas generation. Our expertise enables us to assist you in designing, implementing, and upkeeping a compressed air system that seamlessly complements your Nitrogen or Oxygen generators, ensuring consistent operation and optimal gas quality.
