Inert nitrogen generator NITROBERG®

high-purityUHPhigh-concentration

Overview
BERG GaseTech NITROBERG® on-site nitrogen generators provide nitrogen for tanker inert-gas systems (IGS), cargo blanketing and pipeline purging, aligned with IMO safety requirements. Systems are based on Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology, manufactured in Germany, designed for continuous 24/7 supply, high energy efficiency and low maintenance. They separate nitrogen from compressed air and include core components such as an air separation module and a heat exchanger.

Key features & advantages

• Enhanced safety: creates an inert atmosphere by replacing oxygen in fuel tanks and cargo holds to reduce risk of combustion and explosions.
• Cost savings: avoids purchase and transport of delivered nitrogen (predictable kWh-based OPEX).
• Cargo preservation: protects food, pharmaceuticals and electronics by maintaining low-oxygen environments to reduce spoilage and extend shelf life.
• Operational flexibility: configurable purity levels and output capacities to match vessel type, cargo and voyage profile.
• Compliance & reliability: IMO-aligned solutions for inerting, blanketing and purging.
• Made in Germany: engineered and manufactured to European standards.

Applications

• Gas carriers — inerting and blanketing of fuel tanks.
• Chemical tankers — cargo hold purging and inerting to prevent reactions with oxygen.
• Retrofit use — preventing corrosion in ballast tanks by lowering oxygen levels.
• Offshore platforms — pipeline purging, pressure testing and maintenance operations.

Technical data & operational notes
Systems are sized according to required N2 purity, consumption profile and operating hours. PSA technology separates nitrogen from compressed air and delivers a continuous on-board supply suitable for marine and offshore environments. Typical design goals focus on optimal energy consumption, minimal maintenance and configurable delivery pressures for application-specific needs.
