Industrial Utility Efficiency

Selecting a Reliable and Efficient Nitrogen Generation System

PSA nitrogen generators are fed compressed air which goes to two vessels alternately. One vessel fed by pre-treated air produces nitrogen, and the other undergoes regeneration by depressurization, purging the adsorbed gases, and then repressurization. This cyclic process ensures a continuous supply of nitrogen. The adsorbent materials selectively capture gases like oxygen, carbon dioxide and other trace gases within the compressed air stream while allowing nitrogen to pass through. 

Air Compressor Sizing at Higher Altitudes

Both screw air compressors and centrifugal air compressors offer unique advantages and are suitable for different applications. When selecting an air compressor for high altitude installations, it is essential to consider all the specific operating conditions and requirements of the customer's site to ensure optimal and correct capacity, performance and efficiency for your location.

Air Compressor and Chiller Innovations at NPE2024

NPE2024: The Plastics Show took place in Orlando, Florida, May 2024, and Compressed Air Best Practices® Magazine and Chiller & Cooling Best Practices Magazine were there to cover the highlights. This year’s conference drew over 50,000 registrants, including 15,000 from outside the United States. Filling both buildings of the Orlando Convention Center, the conference included zones dedicated to bottling, recycling and sustainability, material science, advanced manufacturing, mold-making and packaging. 

The CABP Interview: Hitachi Global Air Power President and CEO John Randall on the Sullair TS Series

We're the second- or third-largest employer in the county. Sullair was founded here. Sullair was acquired by Hitachi in 2017. We changed our name last year to Hitachi Global Air Power because we represent the Sullair brand, the Hitachi brand, a joint venture brand in China and the Champion brand in Australia. We've added over 80,000 square feet since the acquisition. We've done some things from a workflow integration strategy allowing us to have better control of cost, quality and delivery.
