Generon IGS Develops New High Flow Air Separation Modules
Houston, Texas, August 23rd, 2005 - Generon IGS, an affiliate of Innovative Gas Systems, has
improved the productivity of its product line of industrial air separation permeators. The newly
developed modules will be able to provide the customer with 15 to 50% improvements in product flow
while retaining high operating efficiency.
These new improvements will allow for more compact and lighter weight membrane systems. The improvements
are a result of improved membrane productivity and improved module fabrication. The hollow fiber membrane
used in Generon’s line of air separation products is now more permeable; allowing more air to be processed.
Many of the modules have also been fabricated to allow for more available membrane area in the same sized device.
The current module model sizes will be retained, which range from 2?x26? to 10?x72?. Theses models, with
the improved productivity, have all been qualified for durability through extensive pressure and temperature
cycling testing and our own in-house field testing. Many have already been sent to a controlled number of
customers for validation.
Over the years, we at Generon IGS, have always strived to continuously improve our products. Since our
inception in 1984, we have seen a nearly 10 fold increase in module volumetric productivity. During this
time we have also improved the operating efficiency of our modules. These latest developments cap off a 5
year development plan that has now improved the volumetric productivity of our modules by nearly 100%.
Customers can now design more compact and efficient overall systems with these modules. Since the modules
are more productive, one can operate them at lower pressures to decrease power costs associated with the
feed compressor. Alternatively, users can operate with fewer modules at lower capital costs. Some
applications where space and weight are at a premium (oil platforms, truck-mounted inerting systems,
shipboard unit, etc.) will benefit immediately.
