Advanced Membrane Nitrogen Generators

Advanced Membrane Nitrogen Generators

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.

How it Works
  • Air Intake: The process begins when compressed air from a standard compressor enters the nitrogen generator. Before entering the membrane, the air is typically pre-treated to remove moisture, oil, and particulate contaminants to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the system.
  • 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.

Key Features & Benefits
  • On-Site Generation: Produces nitrogen where you need it—no more storage or delivery logistics.
  • 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.
