How to achieve Food Grade Nitrogen with onsite generation
United Air Power Ltd ( UAP ) were established 26 years ago , specialising in Compressed Air , Nitrogen Generation and Process Cooling . Working within a wide range of industries UAP offers bespoke , reliable solutions .
Nitrogen gas plays an important role in the food industry from process to packaging . By replacing the oxygen with nitrogen , food will have a longer shelf life and the ‘ just-made ’ flavour and appearance can be maintained .
Don ’ t Buy It Make It !
When tasked to provide a reliable source of Food Grade Nitrogen Gas for food production , reliability of supply can create logistical difficulties along with procedures that must be established to monitor and manage the utility . Additionally , safety and handling concerns need to be considered . The cost of addressing these issues can be high and difficult to budget for , while the market price of Nitrogen gas and supplier rates change continually . The environmental impact of truckbased deliveries is another important consideration for carbon footprint reduction .

The ideal solution lies in a range of UAP on-site gas generation systems which UAP can design , supply and install , to meet the customer ’ s specific needs . This enables users to produce their Food Grade Nitrogen gas on demand on the premises , under their complete control . As a result , companies can generate as much or as little nitrogen as needed , at a fraction of the cost , thereby profitably and sustainably supporting all of the production requirements .
Why on-site gas generation offers a better solution
On-site nitrogen generation separates nitrogen from compressed air for use directly at the user ’ s location . Our on-site nitrogen generation system being modular in design , offers a range of output flows from a few litres per minute to in excess of 130 m3 / h from a single module !
The UAP integrated nitrogen generation system pre-treats the air from a standard industrial compressor which is then essentially “ sieved ” so that oxygen and other trace gases are removed , while nitrogen is allowed to pass through to the application as the product gas . Air separation is not a new idea , but the radical Pressure Swing Adsorption ( PSA ) design and control systems employed on the Parker NITROSource Plus nitrogen
Nitrogen gas plays an important role in the food industry from process to packaging .
generator range has maximised Nitrogen output and reduced compressed air consumption to achieve even higher levels of efficiency than before .
Rapid Payback The sector leading Parker NITROSource nitrogen generation system can reduce costs by up to 90 % when compared to traditional methods of supply with a payback period on capital investment typically being achieved within 12- 24 months . Any safety concerns associated with bulk liquid storage or manual handling and changing of heavy high-pressure cylinders are also eliminated .
Exceeding Food Grade Quality Standards Using the latest Parker nitrogen generation technology , UAP can design , install and maintain tailor-made solutions to meet the customers nitrogen gas demands . The NITROSource Plus equipment at the heart of our on-site generation systems carry full third-party validation ensuring the generated nitrogen gas not only meets the food grade standards , but in fact exceeds the quality required . These fully scalable systems provide a low cost , safe and efficient continuous source of N2 food grade gas on demand .
