Nitrogen extending the lifetime of the tire

NGM- nitrogen membrane
generator
Tire inflation
Low operating costs for extra cost-
Nitrogen is used in tyres to avoid air leaking through the tyre wall, which efficiency
results in under-inflation. The reason why nitrogen is used is because it is
easy to produce, does not support combustion, has no smell and is also a Exceptional reliability - Continuous
component of atmospheric air. availability (24 hours a day, 7 days a week)

The difference between the pressure in a tyre and the pressure outside, Nitrogen concentrations from 95% to 99%
causes oxygen to permeate through the tyre. If we can create the same
concentration of oxygen inside and outside a tyre (equal partial pressure) Easy to install and use - only requires a

Because the fibers are so small, a great many can be packed into a
limited space, providing an extremely large membrane surface area
that can produce a relatively high volume product stream.
