At the same time, NEWTEK has established a wide sales and service network around the world, which can respond to customer needs in a timely manner and provide comprehensive technical support and after-sales service.
 

2. Principle of PSA nitrogen generator for mining

Oxygen (O₂) and nitrogen (N₂) are both non-polar molecules, and their kinetic diameters and boiling points are very close. Although carbon molecular sieve has a microporous structure, it is difficult to separate oxygen and nitrogen because of the steric effect that causes co-adsorption of O₂ and N₂ during static atmospheric pressure adsorption. However, carbon molecular sieve is a velocity separation adsorbent, and there is a difference in the diffusion rate of O₂ and N₂ on its surface. The kinetic diameter of O₂ is smaller than that of N₂, which makes O₂ diffuse faster on the surface of carbon molecular sieve and can be adsorbed preferentially, while N₂ is not adsorbed and thus enriched. NEWTEK has conducted in-depth research on this feature and continuously optimized the pressure swing adsorption carbon molecular nitrogen production technology. By accurately controlling the pressurized adsorption and decompression desorption processes, the production of product nitrogen is more efficient and stable.

3. Process flow of PSA nitrogen generator for mining 
The compressed and purified air enters the adsorption tower filled with carbon molecular sieve (CMS). When compressed air flows through the adsorption tower, oxygen molecules are adsorbed by the carbon molecular sieve, and nitrogen is enriched in the non-adsorbed phase, flowing out from one end of the adsorption tower and entering the N₂ storage tank. After a period of time, the oxygen adsorbed by the carbon molecular sieve in the adsorption tower reaches saturation, and regeneration is required at this time. The regeneration process releases the adsorbed oxygen from the carbon molecular sieve cavities by stopping adsorption and reducing the pressure of the adsorption tower. Usually, the two adsorption towers alternately perform adsorption and regeneration operations to ensure the continuous output of nitrogen. Since the adsorption and desorption processes rely on pressure changes, the process is called pressure swing adsorption (PSA). NEWTEK has incorporated advanced automation control concepts into the design of the process flow, making the switching of the entire process smoother, reducing the errors that may be caused by human intervention, and further improving production efficiency.
 

4 Characteristics of PSA nitrogen production device for mining
(1) Rich resources
Using air as raw material, the resources are rich, ensuring uninterrupted and continuous use, and the equipment operation cost is low. NEWTEK's mining PSA nitrogen production device reduces energy consumption by optimizing the internal structure and operating parameters, making the operating cost more competitive in the industry.

(2) Flexible application
The purity, pressure and gas volume of the product nitrogen can be adjusted through the automatic control system according to actual needs. The intelligent control system independently developed by NEWTEK has a simple and intuitive operation interface. Even first-time users can quickly get started and accurately adjust various parameters according to different production scenarios.

(3) Utilization of by-products
While producing nitrogen, oxygen enrichment can be obtained from the desorbed gas to achieve multiple utilization of resources. NEWTEK has also developed a series of supporting technologies for the recycling of oxygen enrichment to help customers apply oxygen enrichment to other production links and improve the overall economic benefits.
 

5. Features of the Inoue Nitrogen Generator

(1) High-quality components to ensure performance
The use of a dedicated adsorption tower effectively avoids the pulverization of the molecular sieve, extends the service life of the equipment, and ensures the purity of the product nitrogen; the use of imported BF or Takeda molecular sieves has a long service life and can be used continuously for more than ten years without replacement; the use of imported valve components has a fast response speed and a service life of more than 2 million times. NEWTEK has established a long-term and stable cooperative relationship with world-renowned parts suppliers to ensure that each component can meet the highest quality standards and provide a solid guarantee for the stable operation of the equipment.
(2) Advanced design, efficient and stable
The special clamping device can prevent the molecular sieve from loosening, and the clamping area is large, which can automatically compensate for the gaps between the molecular sieves; the advanced structural design, through the carefully designed air distribution and guide plate device, makes the airflow distribution in the pressure swing adsorption tower uniform and without dead corners, improves and stabilizes the nitrogen production and purity; the unique molecular sieve composite bed and advanced and reasonable filter group design ensure that the carbon molecular sieve is free from oil and water pollution, ensuring its long-term stable operation. NEWTEK's design team uses advanced simulation software to optimize the design of every detail of the equipment. After countless experiments and improvements, such an efficient and stable well nitrogen production device was created.
(3) Intelligent control, comprehensive functions
The imported high-performance PLC is used to realize the full automatic control of the system, with remote power on and off, online display of various process parameters, automatic emptying alarm and automatic standby functions; at the same time, it has overpressure, overtemperature, filter element pollution alarm and overload, undervoltage, leakage, phase change isolation and other protection functions. NEWTEK company is also constantly upgrading in intelligent control, adding big data analysis and artificial intelligence algorithms, which can monitor the operating status of the equipment in real time and predictive maintenance, discover potential problems in advance, and avoid losses caused by equipment failure.
