DISTRIBUTOR-FIRST SUPPLY PARTNER · SINCE 1999 Live · Compressed Air System
A PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) nitrogen generator is a skid- or cabinet-mounted plant that makes nitrogen on-site from the facility's existing compressed air, at standard plant pressure. It is the workhorse format of the nitrogen-generation category — the right answer for the large majority of industrial nitrogen demand, anything where gas is consumed at normal line pressure rather than packaged back into cylinders. Installed downstream of the compressor and feed-air treatment, the generator feeds a buffer vessel that smooths demand swings before nitrogen reaches the point of use. Available as a floor skid, an enclosed cabinet, a compact unit, or a portable skid/trailer chassis — all the same PSA platform, packaged for the site.
Tips and pointers on when on-site PSA wins — and when delivered gas is still the right call. Scroll the strip →
On-site nitrogen runs roughly $0.10-$0.30 per 100 SCF against $0.75-$3.00 delivered — a 3-10× gap that compounds every shift. Plus no rental, demurrage, or annual escalator.
PSA = pressure swing adsorption: twin CMS (Carbon Molecular Sieve) beds tune from 95% to 99.999%+ on the same machine. Same unit covers tire fill, laser cutting, food MAP, electronics.
Feed is the customer's existing compressor — roughly 3-4 SCFM treated feed per 1 SCFM N2 at standard purity. Towers cycle every 60-120 seconds, output is steady, no truck on the schedule.
Always quote a purity-and-flow pair, never one number. Size to peak SCFM, never average — the buffer smooths swings but can't erase peaks, and an undersized unit ends in supplemental cylinder deliveries that wreck the payback.
Under roughly $1,500/month in delivered spend, capital payback stretches past 4-5 years and the case gets soft. → Stay on cylinder supply until the application scales or runs more shifts.
Five-nines is the practical PSA ceiling and feed-air ratio climbs to ~10× there. For 99.9995%+ semiconductor or specialty pharma → Add cryogenic for 99.999%+ or quote a getter/deoxo polishing stage downstream.
Standard PSA outputs at plant pressure (a few PSI below feed) — it cannot fill bottles at 2,200-3,500 PSIG. → Re-spec to high-pressure with the matched booster and fill stand.

Most distributors sell one brand per product type. SPC's 60-brand portfolio means every Product Type page surfaces three real options matched to how your customer is buying today. Pick the tier; the quote desk handles the cross-reference.
Get the monthly spend, the required purity, and the peak flow. Those three numbers turn a vague conversation into a sized quote with a payback date — and the payback date is what closes the order.

Every entry is a real product on this site — linked, not just named. Quote them on the same line item.
The standard PSA generator can also be ordered on a portable skid or trailer chassis — same PSA platform, same purity and flow envelope, packaged for in-plant relocation or field/remote deployment. Quote the chassis variant when nitrogen demand moves with the work rather than sitting at one fixed point of use; confirm feed-air availability and power (voltage and phase) at each deployment site.
