Membrane nitrogen generators use advanced hollow-fiber membranes to separate nitrogen from compressed air, delivering a reliable, high-purity nitrogen stream for a wide range of industrial applications. By producing nitrogen on-site, these systems eliminate the need for an external supply and reduce ongoing operational costs.
Membrane Separation: Once inside the generator, the pre-treated air flows through a membrane module filled with thousands of hollow polymer fibers. These fibers are tightly packed and engineered for selective gas separation, forming the core of the nitrogen generation process.
Selective Permeability: The membrane fibers exploit the principle of selective permeability, allowing faster-moving gas molecules like oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor to pass through the walls of the fibers and be vented out as waste. Slower-moving nitrogen molecules remain within the fibers and continue downstream, resulting in a concentrated nitrogen stream.
Nitrogen Output: What remains is a clean, nitrogen-rich gas ready for use, typically with purities ranging from 95% to 99.9% depending on system configuration and application requirements. This nitrogen can be directly used in processes such as inerting, blanketing, purging, and packaging, offering a reliable, on-demand alternative to bottled or bulk nitrogen sources.
Energy-Efficient: Avoids the high energy demands of cryogenic separation methods.
Low Maintenance: With no moving parts, the system offers long-term reliability and minimal upkeep.
Modular & Scalable: Easily adjust the system to meet your specific nitrogen flow requirements.
Eco-Friendly: Reduces carbon footprint by cutting out transport and lowering energy use.
Customizable Purity: Capable of delivering nitrogen at various purity levels based on application needs.
