N2-GEN TS, CS, and S Series Overview – South-Tek Systems

Applies to: South-Tek N2-GEN TS, CS, and S Series industrial PSA nitrogen generators (N2-GEN-100 through N2-GEN-510).

The N2-GEN TS, CS, and S series generators produce nitrogen on demand using Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology. These systems are engineered as turnkey nitrogen generation packages and are individually tuned, tested, and certified to meet the required nitrogen flow rate and purity for the application.

▲ Attention — Commissioning required South-Tek requires an onsite or virtual startup for every industrial nitrogen generator. Do not place the system into service before it has been commissioned, and note that the warranty period begins on the commissioning date, not the ship date. See the Initial Startup and Normal Startup article to schedule.

Who this article is for

This content is intended for installers, equipment operators, and supervisory personnel responsible for the installation, operation, and maintenance of the system.

What the TS, CS, and S designations mean

South-Tek builds this family in three skid configurations. They share the same PSA process and controls and differ mainly in how much of the package is integrated onto the skid. The sieve beds and the cabinet are mounted on the skid in every configuration; the difference is whether the nitrogen storage tank and the inlet filtration are integrated or shipped separately.

Designation	Nitrogen storage tank	Inlet filtration	Relative size and model range
TS — Tank Skid	Mounted on the skid	Integrated on the skid	Smallest · N2-GEN-100 through N2-GEN-180
CS — Cabinet Skid	Separate	3-stage, mounted on the skid	Medium · N2-GEN-190 through N2-GEN-240
S — Skid	Separate	Separate	Largest · N2-GEN-250 through N2-GEN-510

Models are offered in increments of 10, from the N2-GEN-100 up to the N2-GEN-510.

How the system works

These generators use carbon molecular sieve (CMS) and alternating adsorption beds to separate nitrogen from compressed air. Clean, dry compressed air passes through the system, and the generator produces nitrogen to the connected storage tank based on the system’s programmed operating logic.

Typical system features

Programmable logic controller (PLC) with touchscreen interface
Pressure swing adsorption beds
Nitrogen storage pressure monitoring
Safety relief valves
Nitrogen storage tank
Incoming air filtration and regulation on applicable models

Before you begin

Before operating the generator, review the site requirements, installation guidance, startup procedures, safety information, and maintenance requirements for your specific system.

▲ Attention — Conditions and warranty Deviations from the required air, electrical, and installation conditions may affect generator performance and may void warranty coverage.
