Mobile Membrane Nitrogen Generation Unit: On-Site Industrial Gas Solutions
Harnessing cutting-edge PRISM® membrane separation technology, our Mobile Membrane Nitrogen Generation Unit delivers high-purity nitrogen directly to demanding industrial sites. Engineered for rugged reliability and rapid deployment, this vehicle-mounted system revolutionizes on-site inert gas supply for sectors like oil & gas, firefighting, and chemical processing.
Core Features & Technological Advantages:
-
Advanced Membrane Separation:
- Utilizes proprietary hollow-fiber PRISM® membranes that selectively separate nitrogen (N₂) from compressed air based on differential gas permeation rates.
- Achieves consistent nitrogen purities ranging from 95% to 99.9%, adjustable to meet specific application requirements.
- No moving parts within the separation core, ensuring inherent reliability, minimal vibration, and reduced maintenance needs compared to PSA systems.
-
Robust Mobility & Off-Road Capability:
- Fully Integrated on Heavy-Duty Chassis: Mounted on certified domestic chassis like Northern Mercedes Benz, designed for harsh terrain access.
- Exceptional Off-Road Performance: Engineered suspension and mounting ensure stability and operation on uneven surfaces, critical for remote well sites or disaster zones.
- Regulatory Compliance: Strictly adheres to GB1589-2004 standards for road vehicle dimensions, axle loads, and mass limits. Equipped with official MIIT (Ministry of Industry and Information Technology) vehicle model announcements for legal road operation.
-
Optimized System Integration:
- Complete Turnkey Solution: Integrates an air compressor, sophisticated air treatment system (filtration, drying), membrane separation modules, nitrogen pressurization system, and auxiliary components within a modular, chassis-mounted enclosure.
- Compact & Space-Efficient: Membrane technology offers a significantly smaller footprint and lighter weight than traditional cryogenic or large PSA units, maximizing payload capacity.
- High-Performance Air Prep: Ensures feed air is clean, dry, and oil-free, protecting the sensitive membranes and guaranteeing optimal performance and longevity.
-
Intelligent Control & Safety:
- Centralized Control System (CCS): Features a highly integrated, user-friendly interface for easy operation, real-time monitoring (purity, flow, pressure), system diagnostics, and automated control.
- Enhanced Safety: Design and operation meet stringent HSE (Health, Safety, Environment) requirements for hazardous well site and industrial environments.
- Rapid Deployment: Vehicle-mounted design enables quick setup and nitrogen production initiation within minutes of arrival on-site.
Key Benefits:
- Unmatched Mobility: Deliver high-purity nitrogen anywhere, anytime – ideal for remote locations or temporary operations.
- Lower Operating Costs: Minimal maintenance (no adsorbents to replace), low energy consumption compared to cryogenic, and no delivery logistics.
- High Reliability & Uptime: Simple membrane process with no complex valves or switching mechanisms prone to failure.
- On-Demand Purity: Easily adjust nitrogen purity levels to suit specific application needs, optimizing gas usage.
- Reduced Environmental Impact: Eliminates transportation emissions associated with liquid nitrogen delivery.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
-
Q: How quickly can the unit start producing nitrogen after arrival? A: Production can typically begin within 15-30 minutes of arrival, subject to site conditions and connection setup. The system features rapid start-up sequencing.
-
Q: What maintenance does the membrane system require? A: Maintenance is minimal. Critical tasks involve regular replacement of pre-filters protecting the membranes (as per differential pressure indicators) and scheduled membrane integrity checks. The core membrane modules themselves often last 3-5 years or more with proper feed air treatment.
-
Q: How does purity affect flow rate? A: There's an inverse relationship. Higher purity levels (e.g., 99.9%) result in lower maximum flow rates from the same membrane surface area. Lower purities (e.g., 95-98%) allow for significantly higher flow rates. Our systems are sized based on your specific purity/flow requirements.
-
Q: Is the system suitable for continuous operation? A: Yes, these units are engineered for 24/7 continuous operation common in oil & gas well servicing, purging, or pipeline inerting applications. Redundancy options can be incorporated.
-
Q: What air quality is required for the feed air? A: Optimal membrane life requires clean, dry, oil-free air. The integrated air treatment system typically includes coalescing filters, desiccant dryers (or refrigerated), and activated carbon filters to achieve Class 1 or better air quality (ISO 8573-1) before the membranes.
-
Q: How is off-road performance ensured? A: Through robust chassis selection, specialized shock-absorbing mounting systems, reinforced skid structures, and component placement designed to withstand vibration and impacts encountered on rough terrain. Seismic resistance is a core design criterion.
