Products>Nitrogen Membranes>Performance Characteristics

The Generon® high performance gas separation membrane represents the most efficient, high-purity membrane on the market today. Membranes bearing our trademark are operating reliably in thousands of locations around the world. Our on-site gas generation system produces a dependable and economical supply of nitrogen and allows you to generate, on-site, the quantity and purity of gaseous nitrogen necessary for most applications matching virtually any flow and purity requirement. Key performance characteristics of Generon® nitrogen membranes include:

  • Highest Efficiency Membrane     
  • Reliable – units in service 24/7 for 13+ years - and still going
  • Purities from 90% to 99.9%
  • Lowest cost of supply of N2
