Standard Twin Tower PSA Nitrogen Generators
Advanced Gas Technologies (AGT) provides complete nitrogen generation solutions for industrial facilities throughout the United States, Canada, and Mexico, specializing in the supply, installation, and maintenance of standard twin tower pressure swing adsorption (PSA) nitrogen generators. Built for dependable on-site nitrogen production, our standard twin tower systems utilize proven PSA technology to separate oxygen from compressed air, allowing businesses to produce their own nitrogen supply with consistent purity, performance, and control.
Every AGT nitrogen generator is engineered to meet the unique requirements of each application, with customizable configurations based on required purity, flow, and operating pressure. From system sizing and installation to ongoing technical support and preventative maintenance, AGT delivers end-to-end nitrogen solutions.

Standard Twin Tower PSA Nitrogen Generator Applications
- Manufacturing and metal fabrication (heat treating, laser cutting)
- Chemical plants and refineries (tank and vessel inerting)
- Food and beverage packaging
- Pharmaceutical production
- Electronics manufacturing
- Power generation facilities
- Gas-assist injection molding
Since each system is sized to your specific flow, pressure, and purity requirement rather than sold as a one-size-fits-all unit, AGT can work across a full range of industries.
Is the Standard Twin Tower PSA Generator Right for My Application?
A standard twin tower PSA system is generally the better fit when:
- Your purity requirement is above roughly 98%. PSA technology is built for higher-purity applications; lower-purity, intermittent needs may be served just as well by a membrane system at lower cost.
- Your nitrogen demand is steady and well-defined. A fixed twin tower system is sized once to that demand, which keeps the equipment simple and the cost per unit of nitrogen predictable.
- You have, or can add, adequate clean compressed air capacity. If your air supply doesn't yet meet the required cleanliness or dewpoint, a compressor and filtration package can be quoted alongside the generator.
- Floor space allows for a single skid-mounted footprint. Standard systems are compact, but they're sized once for your target flow rather than built to expand module by module.
If you're not sure where your application lands, AGT will review your flow, purity, pressure, and site conditions and recommend the configuration that fits. Contact us for an expert opinion.
Why Choose Advanced Gas Technologies
Since 1994, AGT has designed, installed, and maintained on-site nitrogen generating systems for industrial operations throughout North America. That track record shows up directly in how the standard twin tower product line is delivered. We supply the generator, manage installation, and hold the ongoing maintenance relationship, so the same team that specs your system is still the team supporting it years later. Every unit is sized to your existing or planned compressed air source, discharge pressure, and purity target before it ships.
And if your application falls outside a standard skid configuration, our engineering team can scale the same PSA technology to fit, without having to bring in a separate vendor. Contact us toll-free at 1-(866) 725-7551 in North America or (905) 305-0094 local and overseas for a quote.
Frequently Asked Questions About Standard Twin Tower PSA Nitrogen Generators
What is a standard twin tower PSA nitrogen generator?
A standard twin tower PSA nitrogen generator is an on-site system that separates nitrogen from compressed air using two vessels filled with carbon molecular sieve. It's called "standard" because it uses a proven, repeatable skid design rather than a fully custom build, sized to your flow, purity, and pressure requirement, but built on a known configuration that keeps lead times and cost predictable.
How does a standard twin tower PSA nitrogen generator work?
Compressed air enters one tower, where the carbon molecular sieve adsorbs oxygen and trace gases while nitrogen passes through as usable product gas. As that tower's sieve nears saturation, the system automatically switches to the second tower and regenerates the first by venting the adsorbed gases to atmosphere. The two towers alternate continuously, typically completing a full cycle every one to two minutes, so nitrogen output never stops as long as demand exists.
How long does it take to install a standard twin tower PSA nitrogen generator?
Standard systems are pre-assembled and pre-tested on a skid before shipping, so on-site work is typically limited to connecting compressed air supply, power, and the nitrogen discharge line. Exact timelines are confirmed once AGT reviews your site conditions.
How much does a standard twin tower PSA generator cost?
Pricing scales with flow capacity, purity, and discharge pressure. As a starting reference point, small-flow systems typically fall in the lower five-figure range, mid-flow systems move into the mid five-figure range, and large-flow systems sized for continuous plant-wide supply run higher still.
Because every system is sized individually, an accurate number depends on your specific flow, purity, and pressure. Request a quote for an accurate estimate.
How long does a standard twin tower PSA nitrogen generator last?
With proper maintenance, the carbon molecular sieve typically holds its performance for 10+ years, and the adsorber vessels themselves are designed for 20+ years of service. Switching valves are cycle-rated and will need periodic rebuilding or replacement over that time, but the overall system is built for a long operating life when filtration and maintenance schedules are followed.
