South-Tek Low-Pressure Nitrogen Generators for the Military
Nitrogen generation systems are engineered to produce high purity, low pressure, oil-free nitrogen that can be regulated for the precise pressure and flowrate your application requires.
South-Tek offers self-sustaining military nitrogen generators to meet your mission-critical needs. Compact design, straightforward operation and maintenance, maximum maneuverability and dependability make South-Tek Systems’ portable nitrogen generators the superior choice and eliminate dependence on compressed nitrogen tanks.
Low-Pressure Nitrogen Where and When You Need It
Access to quality nitrogen gas can be costly and problematic for maintainers tasked with the service and upkeep of critical equipment and instrumentation, particularly in remote locations overseas. The N2GEN Military Series economically solves this problem and reliably generates mission-critical nitrogen™ on-demand anywhere it is needed. With over two decades of experience delivering reliable nitrogen generators and providing superior customer service, South-Tek has earned a reputation as the nitrogen expert.
BENEFITS OF USING LOW-PRESSURE NITROGEN GENERATORS
Low-pressure nitrogen generators are vital tools for maintaining and servicing sensitive electronic and military equipment.
Relying on a supply chain to deliver nitrogen pressurized canisters in the field can result in supply malfunctions, leading to a ripple effect of equipment failure. On-site nitrogen generation provides a unit with a stable source of reliable nitrogen, as well as eliminates the environmental hazards of relying upon an energy-intensive supply chain.
South-Tek Systems offers low-pressure systems designed to reliably service the following real-world applications:
Ensure crystal-clear night vision device (NVD) optics; Maintain sensitive electro-optics equipment; Inhibit fogginess in scopes and sights; Protect contents within weatherproof enclosures; and Any other low-pressure use.

Stationary Low-Pressure Nitrogen Generator
The N2GEN-4 system is a low-pressure nitrogen generator specifically designed to deliver nitrogen used to protect NVD’s and optics against moisture during purging and maintenance. The compact design of our nitrogen generator features an on-board air compressor and separate nitrogen storage tank, with quick disconnect for portability. Requiring only a single electrical connection, the nitrogen generator can be wall mounted, installed in mobile shelters, or incorporated into mobile maintenance trailers and containers.
Low-Pressure Portable Nitrogen Generator
The N2GEN 4-HC portable nitrogen generator incorporates all of the features, convenience and reliability of our N2GEN 4 stationary system but with the added benefit of portability. System integration with the durable, easily transportable case allows for a continuous, on-demand supply of nitrogen in remote locations and in hardship conditions. The system is fully operable with case closed for protection. Originally designed for optics maintenance, the N2GEN 4-HC portable nitrogen generator is suitable for any number of low-pressure nitrogen gas needs.
Training Programs
South-Tek offers in-house, virtual or on-site training to provide the technical know-how to give you the best performance and longest life from your nitrogen generator. Programs consist of didactic and practical skill application sessions on maintenance and operation of our N2GEN portable nitrogen generators. On-site training includes hands-on demonstrations ensuring maintainers are confident in using and servicing the system.
FAQs for Nitrogen Generators
A nitrogen gas generator is a device that generates nearly-pure nitrogen gas via a mechanical process of separating it out of the air. The gas builds up until it reaches a critical pressure of nitrogen, which has various use cases across the military.
Nitrogen gas comprises about 78% of the air we breathe. The remaining portion of air is largely oxygen and water vapor. Nitrogen is a non-reactive gas that prevents corrosion and remains stable in harsh environments. Oxygen and water vapor are more reactive gasses that can cause equipment malfunction or failure. Nitrogen prevents these gasses from causing harm by creating a barrier of protection to avoid corrosion, deterioration and fogging of sensitive equipment.
PSA stands for pressure swing adsorption which is the method through which nitrogen is isolated from the other gasses in the air. A PSA nitrogen generator isolates 99.999% pure nitrogen that can be used for various applications across the military.
In the past when pure nitrogen was needed in a military setting it could only be generated off-site and shipped to the military in a compressed nitrogen tank or cylinder. Today, nitrogen can be generated and stored on-site, avoiding the costly supply chain of compressed tank transportation and providing a convenient and easy-to-manage alternative while reducing impact on the environment
