Atlas Copco introduces new range of compact, low-cost, low-flow membrane nitrogen generators
The latest addition to its family of nitrogen generators, Atlas Copco’s new NGMs 1–3 membrane technology units offer a highly efficient, compact and simple low-cost on-site solution for low-flow N2 requirements with the added benefits of minimal maintenance and operational costs.
Stef Lievens, Business Line Manager of Industrial Air at Atlas Copco Compressors UK commented: “The innovative design of the NGMs units provides a cost-efficient, on-demand source of nitrogen, with purities ranging from 95% up to 99.9%. This makes them ideally suited to applications as diverse as body-shop operations and tyre inflation, R&D laboratory procedures – particularly for LCMS (Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry − as well as safety blanketing in hazardous environments, and many other general industrial uses.”
The generators are supplied as an all-in-one, integrated package complete with filters. An oxygen sensor is an optional feature. Fitted with pressure gauges to ensure accurate system monitoring at all times, the ready-to-use units are housed in a fully enclosed protective canopy. No specialist installation or commissioning is required – only a supply of dry compressed air.
Maximum uptime is assured with features such extremely fast start-up − the NGMs 1–3 generator takes only a few seconds to produce nitrogen at the outlet − and continuous availability of nitrogen 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Added to which is zero performance loss at high ambient temperatures, and the very low service requirement − limited to just the oxygen sensor and the built-in filters.
There are three models in the new NGMs range, with their volume and nitrogen purity outputs related to the number of high-performance, highly durable, non-ageing membrane modules installed.
Atlas Copco’s membrane nitrogen generators are flexible enough to adapt to specific applications, offering N2 desired purities according to need from 95% up to 99.9% (residual oxygen content levels from 5% up to 0.1%). With this versatility, combined with low operating costs attributed to an industry-low air factor, these new low-flow generators offer an attractive return on capital investment.
The NGMs 1–3 generators complement Atlas Copco’s existing range of on-site gas solutions, including both nitrogen and oxygen generators. Its nitrogen generators are available in both membrane and PSA technologies and are offered as low-investment entry models and high-end versions that both ensure the lowest total cost of ownership.
