HPC’ s New Nitrogen Gas Skid:

Reliable. Efficient. Pure.

N2 quality is third party validated and certified to European EIGA statute 231 / 2012 for gas used as a food additive, E941, as well as being FDA and Pharmacopoeia compliant.
What is included in HPC’ s N2 Skid
An integrated nitrogen generation solution, HPC’ s N2 Skid incorporates:
HPC Compressed Air Systems has developed a plug and play nitrogen gas generating solution for small to mid-sized enterprises( SMEs) in the food and beverage( F & B) industry.
F & B manufacturers rely on nitrogen gas( N2) to keep their products fresh and free from contamination.
For SME businesses operating in the F & B industry, it is vital they find a reliable, consistent supply of N2, which doesn’ t break the bank.
Generating their own N2 on-site gives SME F & B manufacturers full control over their N2 supply and expenses.
How? By taking control over their N2 generation, they can reduce their dependency on costly cylinder or liquid nitrogen deliveries and save significantly on costs, in the process.
And this is where HPC has stepped in.
Saving SME F & B manufacturers time and money
HPC has designed a new plug and play nitrogen generation solution
124 FDPP- www. fdpp. co. uk specifically targeted at SMEs in the F & B industry. HPC’ s N2 Skid is designed to enable SME F & B manufacturers to generate their own N2 on-site, eliminating the need for costly and logically challenging cylinder deliveries.
Providing a reliable and consistent supply of N2, HPC’ s N2 Skid enables customers to save up to 90 % in costs, compared to the costs of cylinders / dewars.
How HPC’ s N2 Skid works
HPC’ s N2 Skid delivers a continuous, reliable supply of N2 tailored to the customer’ s needs, preventing production time.
It delivers N2 with ultra-low 0.5 % Oxygen( O2) content, ensuring F & B products maintain their freshness and quality.
Featuring an advanced filtration system, it ensures gas purity by removing impurities and delivering N2 at the desired O2 content.
A user-friendly interface allows real-time monitoring of gas output and purity.
• Pre-Filtration Package
• Compressed Air Dryer
• Oil Vapour Reduction Filter
• Oil / Water Separator
• N2 Generator
• Process Vessel
• Sterile Process Filter
• Skid Mounting *
• Interconnected Piping
* Skid packages are configured based on the needs of the customer( e. g. flow rates & purity).
A scalable solution, the modular system means customers’ N2 generation capabilities can grow as their production needs do.
Nitrogen usage in F & B applications
N2 is an inert gas that preserves product freshness, impedes microbial growth, prevents oxidation, and enhances product quality.
It is widely used in F & B applications, from product blanketing, purging, displacement, MAP, or bottling.
Typical sectors in which N2 is used are dairy, snack foods, salads, breweries, wineries, and many others.
