The new range is said to provide an efficient, compact, simple, and low-cost on-site solution for N2 requirements. Thanks to Atlas Copco’s membrane technology, the NGM+ generators require 20% less feed air than traditional membrane systems and, because they require less energy input per unit of N2, they offer the lowest total cost of ownership in their class.
The NGM+ design also minimises operational costs by eliminating the need for a feed air heater to reach maximum capacity, as is commonly employed to enhance performance of some other generators, but which adds significantly to energy bills.
The NGM+ 7-70 units replace the existing NGM+ 1-7 range. Each generator comes as a complete, plug-and-play package complete with gas purity sensor, feed air monitoring, and gas purity regulation valve included as standard. Its intuitive Elektronikon Touch controller allows for easy gas purity setting and alerts users to any purity anomalies in the N2 output.
The NGM+ can be sited at the point of use on the production floor, or combined with a traditional cylinder or bulk gas supply system. In addition to the general industry version, Atlas Copco has developed a dedicated marine NGM+ that is fully compliant to the major global classification societies’ requirements.
