1.0 GENERAL
1.1 INTRODUCTION
-
This manual describes the installation, operating, and maintenance
instructions for the Pneumatech PMNG Cabinet Series membrane nitrogen generator. Please read
and be familiar with this manual before attempting to operate the unit. Although this unit is very
simple to operate, the user will be working with high-pressure gas that must be handled with
caution. Compressed gas, if handled improperly, can result in serious or fatal injury.

1.2 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION -
The PMNG utilizes a
hollow fiber semi-permeable membrane for the separation of
nitrogen and other gases from a compressed air stream. The
membranes divide the air into two streams; one is essentially
nitrogen along with argon and traces of other inert gasses. The
other stream is oxygen plus carbon dioxide, hydrogen and other
trace gases. While fast gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide
and water vapor quickly permeate the membrane surface, most
of the nitrogen flows inside the membrane fiber as a separate
product stream. Millions of fibers, about the size of a human
hair, can be packed into a single module. This provides a very
large membrane surface area that efficiently produce large
quantities of nitrogen. This system is designed to deliver
nitrogen plus other inert gases at specified concentration.
Because water vapor is being permeated out of the gas stream,
the resulting atmospheric dew point is -65
°
F or below.
A connection has been provided to pipe the permeate gases away from the unit. The system is
designed to operate with feed air from a plant compressed air system that has been dried to at least
+40 degree F pressure dew point. The membrane modules are protected from hydrocarbons by a
highly efficient, six-step filtration system. This system consists of a combination of particulate,
coalescing filters and carbon adsorption. The result is air purity with a heavy hydrocarbon carryover at
or below 2 parts per billion.
