Chemical tankers, gas carriers and reefer ships need clean, dry nitrogen for inerting, purging and cargo padding. Onboard nitrogen generators are the most efficient way to provide this.
There are two main types of nitrogen generators. One type uses hollow fiber membrane technology and other one is based on the Pressure Swing Absorption (PSA) process. Inert gas generators can produce nitrogen too. Molecular sieves remove the CO2 present in the inert gas.
