What is the Difference Between PSA Nitrogen Plants and PSA Hydrogen Plants?

Noxair Engineering Pvt Ltd, a premier manufacturer and exporter, specializes in both PSA Nitrogen Gas Plants and PSA Hydrogen Gas Plants. Understanding the differences between these two types of plants is crucial for industries considering on-site gas generation. This blog outlines the key differences, functionalities, and applications of PSA Nitrogen Plants and PSA Hydrogen Plants.


PSA Nitrogen Plants vs. PSA Hydrogen Plants: Key Differences

- Feedstock and Input Gas

  • PSA Nitrogen Plants
  • Feedstock: Atmospheric air.
  • Function: These plants extract nitrogen from the air using PSA technology.
PSA Hydrogen Plants :
  • Feedstock: Gas mixtures such as natural gas, refinery gas, or syngas.
  • Function: These plants extract hydrogen from gas mixtures using PSA technology.
  • Adsorbent Materials
PSA Nitrogen Plants :
  • Adsorbent: Carbon molecular sieves (CMS).
  • Process: CMS adsorbs oxygen and other trace gases, allowing nitrogen to pass through.
PSA Hydrogen Plants :
  • Adsorbent: Various adsorbent materials, such as zeolites and activated carbon.
  • Process: These adsorbents remove impurities like CO2, CO, and CH4, allowing hydrogen to pass through.

- Purity Levels

  • PSA Nitrogen Plants
  • Nitrogen Purity: Up to 99.999%.
  • Use Cases: Suitable for applications requiring high-purity nitrogen.
PSA Hydrogen Plants
  • Hydrogen Purity: Typically around 99.999%.
  • Use Cases: Suitable for applications requiring ultra-high purity hydrogen.

- Industrial Applications
