N2GEN: Nitrogen Generators for Renewable Energy
Renewable energy applications rely on Nitrogen for blanketing and purging during the process. South-Tek Systems designs and engineers systems to provide reliable, on-demand Nitrogen gas at the exact purity and flow rate required.
South-Tek Systems’ N2GEN systems are a low-cost, safe alternative to N2 gas deliveries in high pressure cylinders. The efficient dual-bed, PSA technology provides a long-system life of 18-24 years, dependent on maintenance.
- Up to 99.9995% pure nitrogen on-demand
- 50-90% savings when compared to liquid bulk
- Fast payback with an average ROI of 12-14 months
- Eliminate deliveries and contracts
- Dual-bed, PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) technology
- Smart-Trak – Touchscreen control display; remote monitoring with mobile devices (select models)
- 18-24 year system life, dependent on maintenance

Nitrogen Use in Renewable Energy Applications
Accumulators used in the hydraulics system of a wind turbine typically consists of two compartments; the first is filled with gas while the second is connected to the hydraulic circuit and is filled with fluid. To prevent the fluid from absorbing the gas, a gas-tight separating element is required. Since nitrogen is inert, it is ideal for this application as it prevents explosions if the accumulator were to leak.
In modern hydraulic systems, the nitrogen gas-loaded accumulator is the most common. South-Tek’s Nitrogen generators can load these accumulators with ultra-pure, on-demand nitrogen.
Cost Comparison
Making the switch to Nitrogen generation removes the middleman (gas supplier) and increases factory self-sustainability. No more long-term contracts or gas delivery hassles. N2GEN systems provide meaningful cost-savings and quick ROI with a long 18-24 year system life (dependent on maintenance).
