N2 BOX for a 5 MW hydrogen production facility in Italy
OMEGA AIR supplied a complete containerised nitrogen generation system for a 5 MW facility in Italy, designed to produce approximately 750 tonnes of hydrogen per year. The hydrogen will be used to fuel public transport vehicles in several Italian towns.

N2 BOX combines compressed-air generation and treatment, on-site nitrogen production, high-pressure compression and storage in one integrated solution.
The system includes:
• VDA 7 screw compressor,
• AAF 0076 compressed-air filtration,
• RDT 75 refrigeration dryer,
• TAC 70 activated carbon tower,
• N-GEN 15 PSA nitrogen generator,
• 4 kW high-pressure compressor,
• cylinder bundle filling at up to 200 bar,
• main electrical cabinet.
At the centre of the system is the N-GEN 15, producing 4.5 m³/h of nitrogen at 99.999% purity. Multi-stage compressed-air treatment provides the air quality required for reliable generator operation and stable nitrogen production.
The nitrogen will be used to purge and inert equipment in contact with hydrogen and for emergency inerting in the event of process irregularities or a hydrogen leak. The high-pressure compressor and cylinder bundles provide an additional nitrogen reserve at pressures of up to 200 bar.
N2 BOX demonstrates how OMEGA AIR technologies can be combined into a compact on-site nitrogen solution that supports process safety in hydrogen production facilities.
