Generate high-purity nitrogen gas on-site using PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) technology. Eliminate cylinders and liquid nitrogen costs — produce your own N₂ at a fraction of the cost.
A complete on-site PSA nitrogen generation system — compressor pre-treatment, dual CMS adsorption towers, buffer tank and PLC control all engineered together. Delivers industrial-grade nitrogen from your existing compressed air line, continuously, without cylinders or deliveries.

Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is the technology that lets you produce unlimited high-purity nitrogen on-site — from your existing compressed air — without any chemicals, cryogenics or deliveries.
CMS is a specially engineered form of activated carbon with extremely uniform micropores — typically 0.28–0.38 nm in diameter. This pore size is the critical design parameter: it's just big enough to allow oxygen (kinetic diameter 0.346 nm) to slip in quickly, but nitrogen (kinetic diameter 0.364 nm) passes through before it can adsorb.
The difference in adsorption rate between O₂ and N₂ is what PSA exploits — not a difference in molecule size, but in how fast each gas fills the pore. O₂ saturates the CMS in ~60 seconds; N₂ barely adsorbs in that same window.
Higher purity means the CMS beds must work harder per Nm³ — so for the same generator, increasing purity reduces flow capacity. Getting this balance right at the design stage is essential.
* Flow yield values are approximate at 7 bar inlet. Actual values depend on generator model and inlet conditions.
Coalescing + activated carbon filters remove oil aerosols, moisture and particulates from compressed air before it reaches the CMS. Essential — oil contamination permanently damages CMS beds.
The heart of the generator. Two towers packed with Carbon Molecular Sieve alternate between adsorption and regeneration every 60 seconds, ensuring continuous N₂ output.
Fast-switching pneumatic valves direct airflow between towers. High-cycle valves rated for millions of operations — typically maintenance-free for 5+ years.
Smooths out the pressure pulses from alternating beds. Sized to your peak demand — typically 3–10× the generator's hourly output — to prevent N₂ starvation during high-draw periods.
Real-time electrochemical O₂ sensor monitors N₂ purity continuously. If purity drops below setpoint, an automatic divert valve redirects off-spec gas to atmosphere — protecting your process.
Omega Air generators run on a dedicated PLC with touchscreen HMI. Monitors all parameters — inlet pressure, O₂ purity, cycle counts — and can trigger remote alarms via volt-free contacts or Modbus.
