Membrane Technology for Nitrogen Generation
Our membrane-based nitrogen generators provide a reliable, continuous supply of nitrogen gas for various industrial applications.
How Membrane Technology Works
Membrane Nitrogen Generators utilize hollow fiber membrane technology to separate nitrogen from compressed air. The membrane consists of bundles of hollow fibers, with each fiber having a selective permeable layer that allows oxygen, water vapor, and other gases to permeate through the membrane wall faster than nitrogen.
As compressed air flows through these hollow fibers, oxygen, water vapor, and other gases permeate through the membrane walls and are vented to the atmosphere. The nitrogen, which permeates more slowly, continues through the fibers and is collected as the product gas. This simple yet effective process requires no moving parts and operates continuously.

Membrane vs. PSA Technology
Understanding the differences between membrane and PSA nitrogen generation technologies.
Choose Membrane Technology When:
- Lower purity nitrogen (95-99.5%) is acceptable
- Smaller flow rates are required
- Compact installation space is limited
- Immediate start-up and minimal maintenance are priorities
- Continuous, non-cycling operation is preferred
- Silent operation is required
Choose PSA Technology When:
- High purity nitrogen (up to 99.999%) is required
- Large flow rates are needed
- Energy efficiency is a priority
- Long-term operation with consistent purity is essential
- Lower operating costs are more important than initial investment
- Variable flow rates need to be accommodated
