NOXERIOR is proud to announce that its family of new standard nitrogen and oxygen generators has been completed by adding the new NITROSWING® Modular PSA Nitrogen Generators as last step of an extensive product modernization project.

“By adding the new NITROSWING^® Modular PSA Nitrogen Generators to our product portfolio we have concluded a strategic product redesign and modernization project for our company.” comments Oscar de Groen, Managing Director of NOXERIOR. “This project was started back in April 2014 and already resulted in the market introduction of our NITROMEM^® Membrane Nitrogen Generators and the new OXYSWING® Modular PSA Oxygen Generators during the last months.“

“Our main objectivewas to reduce energy consumption and to make our nitrogen and oxygen generators ready for Industry 4.0 by dedicating special attention to the data exchange options of the control system of each standard generator.” explains de Groen. “Our patented modular design for the unique NITROSWING^® and OXYSWING^® PSA nitrogen and oxygen generators allowed once again a maximum level of standardization, so that even the smallest models have all necessary features to integrate them easily within so-called Smart Factories. Different from many other suppliers, optional instrumentation, like moisture analysers, pressure and temperature transmitters, has been integrated in the process piping inside the cabinet of each generator, instead of loosely supplied components. The Siemens based standard control system with touch screen HMI, identical for all three product lines, includes methods of self-diagnosis and self-optimization, like the automatic regeneration procedure through theblow-off of off-spec gas in case of an insufficient nitrogen or oxygen purity. Maintenance intervals or eventual system failures will be monitored automatically in combination with real-time communication to the user through Profinet Industrial Ethernet Interface, Profibus DP or Modbus RTU. Besides, the user has the possibility to start or stop his nitrogen or oxygen generator or to reset process parameter counters remotely, even by means of a special App developed by NOXERIOR for smartphones or tablets. In case hardwired data connections would not be possible, each nitrogen or oxygen generator can even be supplied with an own Wi-Fi module. Last but not least, the control system of each of our nitrogen and oxygen generators includes the capability to store all process data with an interval of one minute for a continuous period of 450 days as standard scope of supply.”

NOXERIOR’s family of NITROMEM^®, NITROSWING^® and OXYSWING^® generators currently represents the most advanced, reliable and efficient solution for the on-site generation of nitrogen and oxygen.

NOXERIOR is proud to announce that in December 2015 it received a large order for the supply of its renewed OXYSWING^® Modular PSA Medical Oxygen Concentrators through its most important local distributor in South East Asia with a total order value of more than 600 kUSD.

“This is an unbelievable initial success for our new OXYSWING^® Modular PSA Medical Oxygen Concentrators, which were officially presented to the market during the Medica 2015 Trade Show in Germany last November”, comments Laura Ammiraglia, Manager Marketing & Sales of NOXERIOR. “

All eight hospitals will receive a fully redundant medical oxygen supply system conform ISO 10083:2006, including bacterial filtration and an external gas analyser for an ultimate quality control of the produced medical oxygen before it will flow into the downstream oxygen distribution network of the hospital. Besides the oxygen content, also the moisture content as well as eventual traces of carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide still present in the produced medical oxygen will be controlled and registered continuously in order to supply a medical gas which is 100% conform to the Oxygen 93% Monograph of the European Pharmacopoeia.

Despite fierce local competition, the new OXYSWING^® Modular PSA Medical Oxygen Concentrators have been selected once again as the most advanced, reliable and safest solution for the on-site generation of medical oxygen.”

NOXERIOR is proud to announce the presentation of the second generation of its unique modular PSA medical oxygen concentrators during the upcoming MEDICA trade show in Düsseldorf, Germany, from November 16 until November 19, 2015 (Hall 11, Booth J45).

“Our new OXYSWING® Modular PSA Medical Oxygen Concentrators will include a series of improvements and modifications to confirm their unique and unmatched market position for the on-site generation of medical oxygen”, comments Laura Ammiraglia, Manager Marketing & Sales of NOXERIOR. “Beside a fully new designed cabinet conform our recently introduced family look, already applied for our NITROMEM® nitrogen membrane generators, each model will have a 7” touch panel and a fully new control system as standard product offering. Thanks to its extended features, the new control system will further enhance system reliability and availability and will also facilitate the installation according to HTM 02-01 and ISO 10083:2006 (to be replaced by ISO 7396-1). The process piping of the new OXYSWING® Modular PSA Medical Oxygen Concentrators has been revised as well in order to reduce the number of moving parts and to make maintenance activities even easier. We are confident that the new OXYSWING® Modular PSA Medical Oxygen Concentrators will be considered once again as the most reliable and safest solution for the on-site generation of medical oxygen.”

NOXERIOR is proud to announce that it was awarded with an important order for the supply of a
large membrane nitrogen generation plant to the mining industry in Oceania with a total value of
2.000 kUSD in July 2015.

The ordered plant will be able to produce 3.000 Nm³/h (1,900 scfm) of nitrogen with a purity of max.
1,0 vol.% of residual oxygen and will be suitable for outdoors installation. The required compressed
air will be supplied by a water-cooled centrifugal air compressor with a rated power of 1,7 MW with
a special designed weather protection canopy. The nitrogen generation part of the plant will be
turn-key installed inside a dedicated ISO freight container. The entire nitrogen generation plant will
be tested in presence of the customer in Italy before shipment to the final destination in the summer
of next year.

With this important project NOXERIOR has confirmed once again its market position as competent
and experienced supplier of custom-built packages for the on-site generation of gaseous nitrogen.
NOXERIOR already supplied successfully nitrogen membrane systems for the same industry and to
the same region in the past.

NOXERIOR is proud to announce the official market introduction of its new product line of cabinet membrane nitrogen generators under the brand name NITROMEM®.

“The new NITROMEM® product line of cabinet membrane nitrogen generators consist of eight standard models in order to cover flow rates from 5 to almost 400 Nm³/h at purity levels between 95% and 99,5%”, comments Oscar de Groen, Managing Director of NOXERIOR. “Based on the experiences with our existing standard NITROSWING® and OXYSWING^® PSA nitrogen and oxygen generators, we also applied the successful formula of maximum level of standardisation and component sharing among the models of the new NITROMEM^® product line in order to offer superior product quality at competitive pricing”.

“We are excited to present the most compact cabinet membrane nitrogen generators currently available on the market, which only need compressed air and don’t require any feed air or nitrogen receiver.”, comments Laura Ammiraglia, Manager Marketing & Sales. “The design of the new NITROMEM^® membrane nitrogen generators has benefit from our experiences with special designed gas generation packages for demanding customers. Beside the application of components from first class international suppliers, the cabinet of the new NITROMEM^® line of membrane nitrogen generators has been designed by the Italian industrial designer Giorgio Martino from Milan. This cabinet represents the new family look which we will apply soon for all our other standard nitrogen and oxygen generators as well. All membrane nitrogen generators of the new NITROMEM^® line can be monitored remotely by smartphone and tablet through a special App as standard scope of supply.”

NOXERIOR will exhibit its new NITROMEM^® membrane nitrogen generators in Hall 26 – Booth B69 during the upcoming ComVac 2015 / Hannover Trade Show from April 13 until April 17, 2015.

In February 2015 NOXERIOR supplied successfully a duplex (1 working + 1 stand-by) skid mounted instrument air package for the Boufarik Power Plant of the Société Algérienne de Production de l’Electricité (SPE) in Algeria.

Each skid of the package includes one oil-free rotary screw compressor with 180 kW drive motor and a special heatless adsorption dryer designed by NOXERIOR, which is able to produce 1.000 Nm³/h of instrument air at a pressure dew point below –40 °C at ambient temperatures up to 45 °C. All pressure vessels of the plant have been certified by the Algerian Autorité de Régulation des Hydrocarbures (ARH, previously DPP) and all project documentation was supplied in French language. A fully automatic and unattended operation of the entire package will be guaranteed by local instrumentation with Smart/HART signal loop powered transmitters and a local Unit Control Panel (UCP) with a heavy-duty PLC based control system.

With this important project NOXERIOR has demonstrated again its competence and experience with the design and manufacturing of special instrument air packages which in addition require specific documentation and approvals. Our well-known reliability was confirmed by supplying the instrument air package and related spare parts within the contractual delivery time without punch list and without any penalty payment.
