What is a nitrogen purity certificate?

Nitrogen purity is essential for industries like food packaging and pharmaceuticals. A purity certificate ensures that the nitrogen meets strict standards, guaranteeing quality and compliance. This article explains the importance of these certificates and the latest industry standards.

Real-time nitrogen purity monitoring

Pneumatech PSA nitrogen generators are designed for precision and reliability, featuring zirconia oxygen sensors that provide real-time monitoring of nitrogen purity. This advanced technology ensures that users always have accurate data on the gas quality being produced. With the help of an integrated advanced controller, users can conveniently track nitrogen purity levels from their office or compressor room. This continuous monitoring enhances operational efficiency, safety, and compliance, giving businesses confidence that their nitrogen supply meets the required standards for their applications.

Why is a purity certificate important?

A purity certificate is not just a document; it’s an essential tool for ensuring that the nitrogen produced by your generator meets the highest standards for safety and performance. It serves as a guarantee that the gas is suitable for its intended use and provides valuable insights into the quality and consistency of nitrogen production.
 

  • Compliance: Verifies that your nitrogen complies with regulatory standards.
  • Quality assurance: Confirms the gas’s suitability for critical applications.
  • Operational efficiency: Assures consistent performance at various purity levels.
  • Peace of mind: Guarantees reliable and safe nitrogen production.

Third-party certified purity

To guarantee the highest quality and compliance, Pneumatech’s purity certificates undergo rigorous third-party verification, ensuring that the nitrogen produced meets strict international industry standards, including:
 

  • Regulation (EU) No 2017/625 – Food Safety standards for food additives
  • EU Pharmacopoeia 11th Edition (2023) – 99.5% N2
  • USP-NF 2024 (United States Pharmacopoeia) – 99.5% N2

Testing and certification

Pneumatech provides purity certificates that include analytical data from testing nitrogen generators at various purity levels, such as 97%, 99%, 99.5%, and 99.999%. During these tests, the presence of gases like oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen oxides, methane, and water is monitored. The resulting nitrogen’s appearance and odor are also tested. Each test concludes with a "pass" or "fail" result, ensuring accurate performance data.
