PSA Nitrogen Gas generator of 100NM³/HR. capacity with 99.50% purity along with 20 M³
Nitrogen gas storage tank and purging device for drums with online O2 Gas Analyzer(without Air
Compressor) - 1 set.

Technical Specification of Nitrogen Gas generator:

 No. of Nitrogen Generator Sets Required : 1 Set
 Principle of operation : "Pressure Swing Adsorption" (PSA)
 Flow capacity of Nitrogen Plant : 100NM³/Hr.
 Nitrogen Purity : 99.50%
 Oxygen Contents : 0.5% by Volume or below
 Nitrogen Pressure at outlet of N2 plant : 6.0 Bar
 Dew Point of Nitrogen : (-) 40° C or Better
 Ambient Temperature : 45° C in Summer
: 2° C in Winter at Faridabad
 System Operating Temperature : Ambient

Brief principle/description of operation with scope of work:

Compressed air supply from standard screw air compressor will be fed to the Nitrogen generator
system, the incoming air may have pressure pulsation, dust, dirt, oil and moisture etc. hence to
overcome air pulsation an air receiver is required to be installed before the air is fed into the
system.
First Stage Activated Carbon Filter: Activated carbon filter is used to remove oil, dust, dirt and
moisture up to 0.003ppm level or better. Moisture is removed by auto drain valves.
2nd and 3rd stage Macro and Micro fine oil removal filters: to eliminate oil vapors down
to0.01Microne and 0.001 Micron, 2nd and 3rd stage macro and micro fine oil removal filters are
provided before entering the oil free compressed air into the PSA Unit.
Thereafter air enters to twin tower PSA unit, both the towers are filled with special grade "Carbon
Molecular Sieves" (CMS) which can get affinity to adsorb Oxygen molecules at a faster rate than
Nitrogen molecules. Bottom section of the tower is filled with activated alumina for removal of
moisture content upto (-) 20°C dew point or better. Nitrogen gas comes out from the other end of
the tower which is collected in Nitrogen surge vessel.
Nitrogen Surge Vessel: Nitrogen from PSA module will have varying purity depending upon the
pressure in the adsorber during one minute cycle time. Nitrogen surge vessel gives Nitrogen at constant
pressure with constant average gas purity. Here oxygen percentage is analyzed with online instrument.
Nitrogen Gas Rotameter: The flow of Notrogen with desired purity and pressure is measured by passing
the gas through Nitrogen Gas rotameter.
Online Oxygen Gas Analyser: For analyzing the Oxygen percentage in the Nitrogen gas online
percentage oxygen gas analyzer is to be provided.
Nitrogen Storage Tank: Nitrogen storage tank is to be provided for storing desired purity of Nitrogen
Gas. The volume of the tank should be 20 M³ which can store Nitrogen Gas at 6.0 Bar pressure. The
Nitrogen generator plant is made to trip with the help of a high pressure switch when the pressure of the
gas in the tank reaches the upper set limit. Adequate safety should be provided in the storage tank.
Purging Device: The Nitrogen gas generated will be used for purging purpose in drums. Schematic
drawing of the drum is shown in the attachment drawing no.4. On the top of a drum there are two
openings of 50mm and 20mm each we have to purge Nitrogen through these openings hence the bidder
 3

has to quote for suitable purging device to match production capacity of 400 drums per hour. Drums will
be moving on a conveyor line while purging operation. The purpose of Nitrogen purging in the drums is
to avoid rusting of drum surface as drums are manufactured from Mild Steel CR steel sheets hence its
highly rust prone.

P&I diagram is also attached.

Scope of Supply:
1. One no. air receiver with auto drain trap, safety valve, low pressure switch, and pressure gauge.
2. One no. first stage activated carbon filter.
