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.
