Custom Nitrogen Generators
For more than 30 years, Advanced Gas Technologies (AGT) has designed and assembled custom-engineered nitrogen generating systems for industrial operations across North America and internationally. Built to meet the unique demands of each application, AGT systems provide reliable on-site nitrogen generation where conventional, off-the-shelf equipment falls short. Whether the challenge involves elevated operating pressures, hazardous area classifications, corrosive process environments, space limitations, or the need for a fully mobile solution, every system is engineered to satisfy the specific performance and operational requirements of the application.
AGT offers low-pressure (0 to 200 psig), medium-pressure (200 to 1,500 psig), and high-pressure (1,500+ psig) nitrogen generation systems in a wide range of gas purities. Each unit is supplied as a fully integrated, pre-packaged skid-mounted or containerized turnkey system that is factory tested and designed for rapid installation, requiring only a single-point connection for fast commissioning and startup.
Custom Nitrogen Generating System Configurations
AGT designs and assembles custom nitrogen systems in the following configurations, all delivered as pre-packaged turnkey units:
Skid-Mounted Nitrogen Generating Systems
Our skid-mounted nitrogen generating systems provide a compact, fully integrated solution for facilities that require a dependable on-site nitrogen supply. The integrated design eliminates the need for extensive field assembly, reducing installation costs and shortening startup time.
Available with either Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) or membrane nitrogen generation technology, skid-mounted systems can be configured to meet a wide range of flow rates, pressures, and purity requirements. They are an ideal choice for chemical plants, gas processing facilities, refineries, and manufacturing operations where indoor space is available and continuous, reliable nitrogen production is essential.
Containerized Nitrogen Generating Systems
Our containerized nitrogen generating systems combine the performance of a permanent installation with the flexibility of a transportable package. Every component is housed within a modified shipping container that protects equipment from harsh environmental conditions while providing a secure, self-contained operating environment.
Each system can be customized for the installation site, including climate control for cold weather operation, corrosion-resistant materials for offshore or sour gas applications, hazardous area electrical classifications, and integrated safety systems. The result is a fully automatic, turnkey nitrogen generation system that arrives ready for rapid deployment.

System Performance Specifications:
- Nitrogen flow capacity is 9,000 SCFH
- Nitrogen purity 96%
- Nitrogen discharge pressure 140 psig
When is a Custom Nitrogen Generator the Right Choice?
Standard nitrogen generators work well for straightforward indoor industrial installations with consistent flow and pressure requirements. A custom-engineered system becomes necessary when operating conditions or application demands fall outside standard parameters:
- Hazardous or Classified Locations: Facilities where explosion-proof or intrinsically safe equipment classifications are required
- Corrosive Environments: Operations involving H2S, salt air, or aggressive chemical exposure that require stainless steel process piping, corrosion-resistant finishes, and specialized electrical enclosures
- High-Pressure Delivery Requirements: Applications such as laser cutting, gas-assist injection molding, cylinder filling, and leak testing (up to 20,000 psig / 1,360 barg) that require an integrated booster compressor stage
- Cold-Climate or Outdoor Deployment: Containerized systems engineered with heating, ventilation, and weather-resistant construction for outdoor oil and gas or remote industrial sites
- Mobility Requirements: Applications where the nitrogen system must be transported to different locations or deployed in the field
- Scalability or Non-Standard Flow Capacities: High-volume applications or multi-stage requirements that exceed standard packaged system ranges
