Nitrogen Membrane Technology
How is Nitrogen Generated from the Membranes?
A reliable, high performance membrane module is the heart of a nitrogen gas generator. OptimaConcept
Nitrogen Membrane System come with UBE or Parker membrane to provide reliable nitrogen gas
generators that meet the specific needs of our customer applications.
Pressurized air is fed to one end of the hollow fiber membranes. The permeation rates of water vapor,
CO2, and oxygen contained in the air stream are faster than nitrogen and argon and will rapidly diffuse
through the fiber walls. The slower diffused nitrogen molecules remain in the fiber bore and are collected
as the nitrogen product gas. The air flow rate will determine how much undiffused oxygen remains with
the nitrogen gas. The nitrogen product gas is extremely dry, with atmospheric dew points typically below
-40F. The membranes act like a filter with no moving parts and continuously generate nitrogen at
selected flow and purity.
Nitrogen Membrane Generator

State-of-the-art membrane separation technology produces dry nitrogen up to 99.9% pure

Eliminates drawbacks of conventional nitrogen sourcesgives you control of rate and purity of
nitrogen production
Delivers gas flows up to 600 SCFH or more depending on nitrogen purity requirements (even higher
flows possible if only dryness is desired)
Compact, lightweight design allows set-up wherever there's a compressed air supply
Ideal for the complete range of cleanroom applications, food packaging, PCBA Packaging, Soldering,
Chemical Application for Blanketing, Inerting and Modified Atmosphere (MAP)
Simplicity of field-proven design ensures completely reliable, economical operation, virtually
eliminates maintenance
Nine models available with nine flow ranges.

Why are Membrane Filters?
Simply stated, Nitrogen enrich membranes are the most permeable membranes in the world! High
permeability means more nitrogen is produced in each fiber.

Fewer membranes are required, resulting

in lower membrane investment and
smaller membrane footprints vs.
competitive systems.

Excellent nitrogen production, even at low

pressures, allows membranes to operate
directly from instrument or utility air
systems or low pressure industrial
compressors and still be compact and
lightweight.

Low pressure compressors operate with

less energy, less noise, and less
maintenance.

robust and are less sensitive to particle

contamination than competitors.

No additional heating is required to

improve membrane nitrogen production
rates.

N2 production is extremely stable over

time with little or no performance
degradation.

The membrane nitrogen module is installed in plant air piping systems minimizing overall space
requirements. The Membrane Nitrogen Module eliminates the need for high pressure and liquid
nitrogen cylinders.
Perfect for point of use nitrogen requirements.

depend on outside vendors for nitrogen gas
supplies.
- The hassles of changing dangerous, high pressure
cylinders and interruption of gas supplies are
completely eliminated.
- The OptimaConcept Systems offer long term cost
stability by eliminating uncontrollable vendor price
increases, contract negotiation, long term
commitments and tank rentals.
- Once the Generator is installed, a continuous
nitrogen supply of consistent purity is available
within minutes from start-up.
- The OptimaConcept Nitrogen Generators are
complete systems ready to operate as delivered
with carefully matched components engineered for
easy installation, operation and long term reliability.
The generators are freestanding and housed in an
attractive cabinet.
