Based on a cursory search, propellant-grade nitrogen requires a high purity (99.99%) [0]. I am no aerospace engineer, but I'd be interested to know what the actual requirements are for a system like that to work reliably. If 99.99% nitrogen is actually required, then I'd assume that the corresponding compressor would neither be compact nor particularly maintenance-free.

Air often contains water though too which could cause problems with ice at the rquired discharge rates.
You’d want to dry the water beforehand, like is usually done in such things.
I think you meant air instead of water
