i-Flow Prime & Mini generators are the culmination of PEAK Gas
Generation’s innovations and technological expertise. They build upon
over two decades of experience as industry leading gas generation
specialists. Designed & engineered in the UK by an ISO 9001 accredited
manufacturer, the i-Flow range utilizes the

latest Pressure Swing

Adsorption (PSA) technologies, optimized for maximum energy
efficiency, with over 100 preconfigured flow rates (0.85-285.08 m3/h /
30-10068 scfh) and purities (up to 99.9995%) specifications.

i-Flow generators offer a total on-demand gas solution, eliminating
the need for bulk nitrogen gas purchase, providing sustainable on-site
nitrogen generation that allows companies to control costs, reduce their
carbon footprint and enjoy massive benefits in the long run.

Bulk Supply vs On-site Generation
Beyond the highly variable costs of industrial gas, supply methods such as cylinders, dewars and
bulk liquid storage also create numerous challenges for businesses, as well as many additional
and hidden costs, which ultimately impact on the bottom line.

Added costs

Logistics & safety

Losses & wastage

• Cylinder or dewar rental &
supply delivery charges;

• Frequent hazardous truck
deliveries to facility

• Unpredictable supply timescales

• Bulk liquid storage planning
permission, installation, rental &
upkeep

• High pressure storage, with risk of
explosive decompression or leaks

• Multi-year purchase contract
commitments, with long notice
periods

• Cylinders & dewars require heavy
manual handling

• Bulk supply needs frequent
switching & monitoring
• 10% gas returned to supplier &
20% lost to ‘off-gassing’
• Downtime = lost revenue

Why buy bulk nitrogen gas when you can make your own?

Guaranteed supply
Increased efficiencies,
maximum productivity and
minimum downtime

Increased safety
No need for pressurized gas
storage so safer than bulk
delivery options

Less wastage
Consistent and reliable supply
means fewer product defects
or rejections

Eliminate on-going costs
No more equipment rental,
long contracts or re-supply
ordering

More sustainable
Reduced carbon footprint
by eliminating trucking of
cylinders to your site

Future proof
Expandable on-demand N2
generation that meets future
needs

High purity nitrogen
Our CMS banks are packed using a ‘snowstorm’ filling technique, allowing for around 18% more carbon to be
compacted into each column. This ensures performance is always optimized & precise, allowing the i-Flow range to
deliver consistently high levels of nitrogen purity (up to 99.9995% or 5 ppm oxygen*). Furthermore, with our built-in
PurityGuard™ gas monitoring & application safeguard system, along with integrated air filtration technology, we
guarantee your application gas supply is never compromised & always of the highest quality.
*Over 100 flow-rate and purities available, depending on system design requirements and commissioned specifications.

High flow-rates
i-Flow’s highly robust PSA system generates nitrogen
gas using simple principle methods. Compressed air is
fed into the dual pressure CMS vessels and undergoes a
cycle of compression & decompression, where oxygen
is adsorbed and nitrogen is passed downstream. This
not only delivers continuous nitrogen gas flow-rates
on a large scale (0.85-285.08 m3/h / 30-10068 scfh), it
also guards against abrasive breakdown, preventing gas
supply contamination and ensures a CMS lifespan of up
to 20 years.

design requirements and commissioned specifications.

Adaptable, future-proof design
PEAK Gas Generation’s nitrogen generation systems are designed to be a future-proof, space-saving and
sustainable solution. To accommodate inevitable future growth and your expanding business needs, both
i-Flow Prime & Mini gas generators can be scaled out retrospectively, with additional PEAK CMS banks or
modular units. This offers companies the flexibility to incorporate a solution that can continually adapt
infrastructure in line with growth, rather than being constrained by an increasingly expensive or fixed
capacity nitrogen gas solution.

Modular
Multiple units can be synchronized to meet demands based on application
flow-rates and purity requirements (more units = greater flow-rates at
specified purity).

95 - 99.9995% purity, 0.85-285.08 m3/h (30-10068 scfh)

Scalable
Up to 4 & up to 10 CMS column banks can be added to the i-Flow
Mini & Prime models respectively, increasing nitrogen production
capacity with minimal downtime.

Consultative design & project
management
Alongside technological innovation and expertise, PEAK also provide an industry-leading, wrap around consultative
system design and project management service. PEAK Gas Generation’s highly trained and dedicated specialists are
experts at designing turnkey solutions that perfectly meet current and future business needs.

Our project teams professionally manage each step of the process, including:

Consultation
System design
Procurement
Installation and Commissioning Solutions
Ongoing commitment to global and local
technical support partners
Coupled with PEAK’s world-class aftercare service and an ongoing commitment to a global & local technical support,
ensures customers experience minimum downtime in the unlikely event of breakdown, with engineers capable of
being on-site in under 72 hours.
Where a company prefers to utilize its own engineering and maintenance personnel, PEAK offers in-depth systems
training to ensure staff are fully equipped to manage day to day maintenance and servicing.

Industry applications
Nitrogen gas is naturally clean, dry, inert and non-conductive. It is the most commonly used and cost effective
solution to a whole host of industrial manufacturing and processing challenges. Below are just some examples of
industry applications where PEAK Gas Generation’s nitrogen generation solutions can help a company maximize its
efficiencies and product quality, as well as increase profitability.

Electronics assembly & dry-box storage
Oxygen contamination can impact on product quality and the efficiency of
reflow, selective & wave soldering processes, causing production defects,
such as bridging or insufficient wetting. Nitrogen gas helps create inert
atmospheres in assembly environments, ultimately increasing first-pass yields
by minimizing reworking requirements.

Food packaging & storage
Oxidation of perishable foods impacts on product quality and suitability
for consumption. Nitrogen gas is used for modified atmosphere packaging
(MAP), form filling and inert food storage. These help extend shelf-life,
minimize the need for chemical preservatives, prevent packaging collapse
and increase reach of product distribution.

Pharmaceuticals & biotechnology
Exposure to oxygen & moisture causes contamination, which can alter product
composition, potentially rendering them useless or even make consumption
harmful. Nitrogen gas is used throughout the manufacturing process for
blanketing, inerting processing chambers (e.g. during milling or spray drying)
and even to sterilize packaging prior to product filling.

Laser cutting & welding
Material exposure to moisture or oxygen can impact on the quality and
structural integrity of end products. Nitrogen gas is used as an assist, purge
and shielding gas, ultimately helping to ensure better quality cuts or welds
and prevent against product discoloration due to oxide formation.
