Abstract: Nitrogen in continuous supply is essential in any chemical plant .It is used to dilute reagent gases, to increase yield of some reactions, to decrease the fire or explosion. It can be generated using technology known as Pressure Swing Adsorption method in which nitrogen can be generated continuously and can be supplied to the plant for its use. This is a continuous process and does not require supervision to operate the process. This paper introduces replacing the old electromechanical controls with the PLC. Firstly it shows the ladder logic that can be implemented to operate the Nitrogen generator plant. Secondly it shows installation of PLC in the plant and factors to be considered for its installation and operation.
Keywords: PLC, pressure swing adsorption, nitrogen, generator.
