Atlas Copco nitrogen generators

12 April 2024

Atlas Copco has launched a range of portable nitrogen membrane generators.

The NM series comprises four different models. The NM 500-25 and NM 1000-25 are designed for smaller-scale applications with a lower need for nitrogen, while the NM 2000-25 and NM 3000-25 are for projects with a larger requirement.

Designed for use in industries like oil & gas, mining and maritime, the NM series generators offer customisable nitrogen purity levels up to 99% depending on the application. The machines are built to withstand harsh conditions like extreme heat and dust.

“By optimising energy efficiency and enabling the generation of pure nitrogen air directly on-site with a nitrogen generator, we're not only significantly reducing CO2 emissions within the supply chain, but also cutting down on transport expenses,” said Jan Nijs, Product Marketing Manager Air Treatment, Atlas Copco Portable Air Division.

As mentioned previously on the blog, Altrad Belle installed an Atlas Copco generator to produce the nitrogen needed for various production processes at its manufacturing plant in Sheen, Derbyshire. This saved the company money on purchasing the gas from outside suppliers and reduced its carbon footprint.
