Membrane Nitrogen Generation Systems are composed of fibrous membrane modules housed within a robust unit, complete with a control system and integrated filtration. These systems utilize high-quality compressed air, which is separated using membranes made of small, hollow polymer fibers. During the permeation process, dried and purified compressed air (with a dew point of <+5°C) passes through the fiber walls, effectively removing water vapor, CO₂, and oxygen. The remaining gas, primarily nitrogen, travels through the fibers and is collected as the final product.
The membranes are specifically designed to filter out unwanted gases, such as oxygen and water vapor, through the hollow fiber walls and release them into the atmosphere, while retaining nitrogen for continuous flow to applications. Proper air preparation is essential to ensure optimal performance; intake air must be thoroughly cleaned and dried before entering the membrane. Without adequate air treatment through filters and dryers, the delicate fibers could clog, compromising system efficiency.
