Atlas Copco has launched a range of portable nitrogen membrane generators: the NM series. Four different models are currently to be ordered as of now, with each unit delivering a different amount of nitrogen. The NM 500-25 and NM 1000-25 are designed for smaller-scale applications with a lower need for nitrogen, while the NM 2000-25 and NM 3000-25 meet the demands of larger, more intensive projects.
The generators offer customisable nitrogen purity levels up to 99% depending on the customer’s needs and application. Designed with toughness and flexibility in mind, the portable NM series is built to withstand harsh conditions like extreme heat and dust. The units have an easy start-up and commissioning between sites, as well as an integrated feed air manifold for connecting diverse compressed air sources.
Each model is equipped with an optimised, integrated feed air filtration system and advanced membrane technology, guaranteeing a consistent supply of high-purity nitrogen; which also significantly reduces energy consumption – thus supporting secure and efficient day-to-day operations.
Key applications for these generators span various operations in the oil and gas industry, including under-balanced drilling, pipeline purging and pigging, coiled tubing operations, reservoir pressure maintenance, and fracturing, amongst others. It’s versatility also extends to mining applications – such as extinguishing mine fires and inerting abandoned areas, and shipboard applications where the unit’s help to create inert atmospheres in vessels carrying crude oil, chemicals, LNG gas, and LPG gas. This wide range of applications highlights the generators’ adaptability across various industries.
