MEMBRANE NITROGEN SYSTEMS
Compact and fast-starting systems for oil and gas, offshore, mobile and selected low-to-medium purity duties.
ENGINEERING NOTES
The following establishes a technical discussion framework. Final performance, scope, certification and acceptance criteria are defined in the agreed technical specification.
Clean compressed air enters hollow-fibre membrane modules. Faster-permeating oxygen and water vapour pass through the membrane wall while nitrogen-rich gas exits the opposite end. With no adsorption-vessel cycling, the system supports fast starts and compact layouts.
Systems can be configured as indoor cabinets, skids, containers or mobile packages, with instrumentation and controls selected for hazardous-area classification, ambient conditions, corrosion protection and project standards.
Selection should not be price-only. Higher purity often favours PSA, while rapid start, lower purity, low weight or limited space can favour membrane technology. Compare feed-air demand, energy, maintenance, environment and lifecycle cost.
