The principle of PSA system
CMS is a mainstream adsorbent for Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) system Nitrogen gas generator. There is a differential diffusion rate system based on the fact that the oxygen molecule is smaller than the nitrogen molecule.
CMS adsorbs oxygen gas, carbon dioxide gas, moisture and so on in compressed air in a short period of time and compressed nitrogen gas is available at the outlet. When the pressure decreases to the atmospheric or vacuum level, CMS which has adsorbed oxygen gas and others easily desorbs them and is regenerated.
When the above two operations are done alternately between
two adsorption columns, nitrogen gas can be available continuously from the air.
The Advantages of KURASEP™
- Allowing you to privately generate nitrogen gas with cost reduction
- Fully automatic, labor saving operation
- Simplified system for easy maintenance
- Not subject to High Pressure Gas Safety Act
- Availability of a wide variety of models for many applications
(=availability of suitable one for your requirements) - Unique turndown system (optional) for saving even more energy.
- The on-truck type is a model enabling spot, emergency demands for nitrogen gas supply

Principles of Kuraray's Carbon Molecular Sieves (CMS) for Nitrogen gas generator
General activated carbons can not separate Nitrogen from the air. But Kuraray's CMS can make the separation by its High Adsorption Selectivity for each molecular.
Kuraray's CMS is manufactured from Coconuts Shell and designed to have the most suitable pore for separating Nitrogen from Oxygen continuously by repeating the cycle of adsorption (Pressuring) and desorption (Depressurizing). Due to the high separation efficiency, Kuraray's CMS can provide high nitrogen gas generation with low air consumption.
Features of Kuraray's CMS
- High nitrogen gas generation due to the high speed of Oxygen adsorption
- High nitrogen purity due to the selective adsorption
- Low air consumption
