Generon® IGS Announces Production of New Nitrogen Membrane Module Module Doubles Volume for Air Separation and Nitrogen Generation

HOUSTON, TX--(eMediaWorld - April 2, 2009) - Generon® IGS, an affiliate of Innovative Gas Systems, is excited to announce the successful production of a radically higher flow membrane module for nitrogen generation and air separation. These modules double the volumetric productivity of any competing air separation membrane device in the world. This represents a 300% increase in volumetric productivity from Generon's® existing product line while maintaining the lowest air consumption in the market today. This NEW Ultra-High Flow (UHF) membrane promises to change the marketplace for on-site membrane air separation systems and open new markets for Generon® IGS, e.g. On-Board Inert Gas Generating (OBIGG) Systems for aircrafts. Selected customers will be operating the first of these UHF modules in the upcoming months as the product line is launched.

The new UHF membrane modules will allow for dramatically more compact and lighter weight membrane systems. The key to this new product line is a patented type of hollow fiber which is significantly more gas permeable than standard fibers. Generon® has been working on developing this revolutionary fiber for more than a decade and we are proud to announce the successful completion of all quality and long-term durability procedures.

Customers that are in need of more compact and more energy efficient nitrogen generation systems want to be supplied with our NEW UHF membrane modules. Since the modules are a lot more productive, one can operate membrane systems from now on at lower pressures to significantly decrease air compressor size. Applications where space and weight are at a premium will benefit immediately, e.g. On-Board Inert Gas Generating (OBIGG) Systems for aircrafts, Shipboard Inert Gas Systems, Mobile and Truck-Mounted Inert Gas Systems, oil platforms, etc.

For higher purity membrane applications (up to 99.995%) and/or if you target maximum energy conservation, the standard line of Generon® modules will be still providing nitrogen product with the lowest feed air requirements in the industry.
