A method of producing nitrogen is a single column nitrogen generator in which first and second coolant streams are used to condense nitrogen-rich tower overhead to provide reflux for the distillation column. One of the coolant streams is composed of liquid having a higher nitrogen content than oxygen-rich liquid produced in a bottom region of the distillation column. This coolant stream is compressed, cooled and recycled to the bottom of the distillation column in order to increase nitrogen recovery.
