The nitrogen generators described in this manual, thanks to its built in scroll-compressor, are able to provide 
by itself the necessary quantity of compressed air to supply the N2 Membrane section and produce a stable 
and safe flow of pure nitrogen at a setted pressure.
Units 

NGA CASTORE XL iQ

 also provide a source of Dry air.

The appliances can be used in laboratories and/or light industrial environments.
