From Air to Nitrogen: Advanced Aviation Nitrogen Generator for GSE

Discover the revolutionary technology behind the HP-SGNSC nitrogen generator—available exclusively from AVA AERO, the Middle East’s premier provider of Ground Support Equipment (GSE) and exclusive representative of Hydraulics International Inc. (HII).

Why Nitrogen Generators are Crucial for Aviation GSE

Nitrogen is indispensable in aviation Ground Support Equipment (GSE), essential for maintaining aircraft safety, reliability, and operational readiness. Its critical applications include:

• Aircraft tire inflation

• Emergency Power Unit (EPU) servicing

• Fuel tank inerting

• Hydraulic accumulator charging

• Landing gear strut pressurization

Historically, bottled nitrogen presented logistical challenges such as high storage costs, limited on-site availability, and delivery delays. Modern aviation operations increasingly rely on advanced nitrogen generators, like HII’s HP-SGNSC, to produce high-purity nitrogen directly from ambient air, dramatically improving efficiency and reducing downtime.

Advanced Nitrogen Generation Technology Explained

Atmospheric air contains approximately 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and other trace gases. However, nitrogen used in aviation requires high purity standards. HII’s HP-SGNSC Aviation Nitrogen Generator (Part Number: 130009-100, NSN: 3655-01-621-3426) leverages advanced technology to produce nitrogen purity up to 99.9%, suitable for both civilian and military GSE operations.

Air contains 78% Nitrogen and is a perfect source for nitrogen generator

Key Stages of the HP-SGNSC Nitrogen Generation Process

1. Air Intake and Multi-Stage Filtration

Ambient air is drawn into the system through advanced multi-stage filters, removing particulates, moisture, and oil vapor to achieve the purity essential for aviation standards.

2. Oil-Free Air Compression

An oil-free, high-performance compressor ensures the compressed air remains free from contaminants. This innovative technology protects membrane integrity, enhancing reliability and significantly reducing maintenance.

3. Membrane-Based Nitrogen Separation

The compressed, purified air flows through a sophisticated hollow fiber membrane system, separating nitrogen from oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, resulting in aviation-grade nitrogen.

4. High-Pressure Nitrogen Storage and Direct Servicing

The nitrogen generator features two onboard storage tanks, each with a 912 cubic-foot capacity at 5,000 PSI, and allows direct on-demand servicing of aircraft systems, maximizing operational efficiency.
