Core offering

Generon designs, engineers, manufactures, and services industrial nitrogen generation, gas separation, process gas, and compression equipment. The portfolio spans two core technology platforms—hollow-fiber membrane nitrogen generators and Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) nitrogen generators—supported by oxygen generators, gas separation/conditioning modules, compression packages, blower systems, and ASME/PED/CRN certified pressure vessels. Equipment is custom-engineered for specific flow rates and purity requirements for industrial customers.

Product overview

Generon is a global provider specializing in the design, engineering, manufacture, and servicing of nitrogen generation, gas separation, process gas, and compression solutions. The product portfolio comprises two core technology platforms: Membrane-based nitrogen generators (including Nitrogen On Wall (NOW) panels, 4000/6150/6800 Cabinet Series, and containerized/mobile systems) and PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) nitrogen generators (including the NG Modular Bank Series, Twin Tower Series, and Sequential PSA systems). Supporting these core platforms are oxygen generators, process gas separation modules (for CO2, methane, H2S, syngas), gas conditioning equipment (dehydration, fuel gas conditioning, flue gas treatment), compression systems (primary, booster, and process gas compressors), blower packages (rotary lobe, centrifugal, regenerative), and pressure vessels (ASME, PED, CRN certified). Environmental solutions include vapor recovery systems, biomethane upgrading, and landfill gas processing. Generon holds over 100 patented technologies and manufactures in ISO 9001 facilities in Houston, TX and Pittsburg, CA.

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Broad incumbents

• Air Liquide: Air Liquide supplies on-site and bulk nitrogen (with its MEDAL membrane technology for gas separation) to chemical, refining, and electronics customers, offering a bundled alternative to Generon's standalone equipment model.
• Linde: Linde (formerly Praxair) is one of the world's largest industrial gas producers with on-site nitrogen generation and membrane/PSA technologies (e.g., Hi-Spec membrane separators) serving the same oil & gas, petrochemical, and electronics verticals as Generon.
• Air Products and Chemicals: Global industrial gas major supplying merchant and on-site nitrogen (including PRISM membrane systems) to oil & gas, petrochemical, electronics, and aerospace customers; competes with Generon via on-site generation while also offering cryogenic bulk supply as an alternative.

Direct peers

• Parker Hannifin: Parker's Industrial Gas Filtration and domnick hunter/Zander divisions sell membrane and PSA nitrogen generators, as well as compressed air and gas treatment equipment, directly competing with Generon across on-site nitrogen generation and process gas separation.
• Ingersoll Rand: Ingersoll Rand's Compression Systems & Services segment produces nitrogen generators, oil-free compressors, and process gas compression packages that compete head-to-head with Generon's membrane, PSA, and compressor product lines.
• Gardner Denver (now Ingersoll Rand): Gardner Denver's Industrial Products and Compressor groups offer nitrogen generation packages and high-pressure compression for oil & gas and petrochemical applications, directly comparable to Generon's compressor skids and pressure vessel systems.
• Hitachi Industrial Equipment Systems: Hitachi manufactures oil-free screw compressors and on-site nitrogen gas generators with membrane and PSA technologies, targeting similar industrial customers in Asia and globally with overlapping product specifications.
• Atlas Copco: Atlas Copco, through its Pneumatech and Oil-free Air divisions, manufactures membrane and PSA nitrogen generators as well as industrial compressors and boosters, directly overlapping Generon's product portfolio and customer base.

Emerging players

• Donaldson Company: Donaldson provides compressed air and gas filtration, drying, and separation equipment, with adjacent nitrogen generation capabilities, partially overlapping Generon's dehydration and instrument air product lines.

Regional players

• MAN Energy Solutions: MAN Energy Solutions supplies gas processing, LNG fuel gas systems, and compression packages for marine and oil & gas customers (primarily in Europe), competing with Generon in marine FGSS and process gas compression.
