Atlas Copco has unveiled a range of portable nitrogen membrane generators: the NM series. The NM 500-25 and NM 1000-25 are designed for small-scale applications with a lower need for nitrogen, while the NM 2000-25 and NM 3000-25 meet the demands of large, intensive projects.
"With the addition of the NM series to our portfolio, we now offer a fully comprehensive solution that addresses every facet of our customers nitrogen supply needs – including those with highly complex and high nitrogen purity demands. Our valued customers now have unprecedented convenience and efficiency, with a streamlined solution from one single, reliable provider,” explained Bert Derom, president of Atlas Copco Portable Air Division.
Features
Designed with toughness and flexibility, the portable NM series is built to withstand harsh conditions like extreme heat and dust. The units offer start-up and commissioning between sites, as well as an integrated feed air manifold for connecting diverse compressed air sources.
“By optimizing energy efficiency and enabling the generation of pure nitrogen air directly on-site with a nitrogen generator, we're not only significantly reducing CO2 emissions within the supply chain, but also cutting down on transport expenses,” added Jan Nijs, product marketing manager Air Treatment, Atlas Copco Portable Air Division. “Moreover, thanks to top-notch engineering and superior technology, minimal energy is consumed during operation leading to a low cost of ownership.”

Each model is equipped with an integrated feed air filtration system and membrane technology for a consistent supply of high-purity nitrogen. By design, the new series also works with other products in Atlas Copco’s portfolio.
Applications
“The new units are not only built to deliver exceptional and reliable nitrogen purity, but are also engineered to meet the highest industry benchmarks in resilience and operational excellence in harsh conditions – remaining true to Atlas Copco’s status as one of the toughest portable air solutions on the market. Each nitrogen generator in the NM range has been extensively tested before they make their way over to the end-user,” explained Nijs.
“We have engineered our NM series to thrive in the planet's most demanding climates—from the searing heat of Death Valley to the corrosive salt-water environments of the open sea, through to the extreme cold, dust-laden worksites, and the relentless downpours of monsoon regions. Our customers can count on the unwavering performance of our new nitrogen generators, built to deliver".

Applications for these generators span various operations in the oil and gas industry, including under-balanced drilling (UBD), pipeline purging and pigging, coiled tubing operations, reservoir pressure maintenance and fracturing, amongst others. Its versatility also extends to mining applications – think extinguishing coal mine fires and inerting abandoned areas and shipboard applications where the unit’s help to create inert atmospheres in vessels carrying crude oil, chemicals, LNG gas and LPG gas.
