Introducing the Atlas Copco NPH 20-400: A game-changer for on-site high purity nitrogen generation

PPS are thrilled to introduce the latest innovation in nitrogen generation technology: the Atlas Copco NPH 20-400. Designed to revolutionise how industries produce high-purity nitrogen, the NPH 20-400 sets a new standard for efficiency, sustainability, and performance.

The challenge: meeting the demand for on-site high purity nitrogen

High-purity nitrogen is a critical resource for a wide range of industries, from food and beverage to electronics and pharmaceuticals. Traditionally, achieving ultra-pure nitrogen levels has required energy-intensive processes that can strain resources and increase operational cost. The NPH 20-400 delivers a smarter, more sustainable solution.

The solution: nitrogen purification using hydrogen

The NPH takes the nitrogen at 99.9% purity from a standard generator and uses a small amount of hydrogen to remove residual oxygen, boosting nitrogen purity to an incredible 99.999% and even up to 99.9999%.

This innovative approach not only ensures top-tier nitrogen quality but also delivers significant energy savings by requiring 40% less compressed air compared to conventional methods.

“This is an exciting technological development for our customers. It allows them to achieve 99.99% purity and above with lower capital investment, lower servicing costs and a smaller footprint.

“Comparing on-site nitrogen generation to bulk liquid deliveries, the NPH purifier makes on-site generation even more cost effective. I can see this being a big cost saver for our customers who use nitrogen at the highest purity” Andrew Martlew, PPS National Sales Manager.

Key benefits of the NPH 20-400 nitrogen purifier

  • Energy efficiency: The system’s reduced air requirements lead to substantial energy savings and lower carbon emissions, contributing to a smaller environmental footprint.
  • Enhanced performance: The NPH 20-400 can double the output of your existing nitrogen generation system without straining your facility’s electrical infrastructure.
  • Unmatched reliability: Continuous nitrogen supply at ultra-high purity levels is guaranteed, with minimal maintenance required to keep your operations running smoothly.
  • Safe and sustainable: Hydrogen is precisely dosed for oxygen removal, and the process produces only water and heat as byproducts.

Who can benefit from the NPH 20-400?

The NPH 20-400 is ideal for industries requiring ultra-pure nitrogen, including:

  • Food and beverage processing
  • Pharmaceutical manufacturing
  • Electronics production
  • Chemical processing

Whether you’re looking to optimise your existing nitrogen generation system or set up a new one, the Atlas Copco NPH 20-400 nitrogen purifier offers unmatched flexibility, efficiency, and performance. Contact one of the PPS team to explore this for your site.
