3.   Technical Description

 

The nano-purification solutions  Breathing Air Module (NBM) is designed for use in existing 

systems where a properly maintained desiccant dryer and appropriate filtration is already 

installed. For a complete purifier package, please refer to the B1 Series Compressed 

Breathing Air Purifiers, or contact nano-purification solutions before proceeding. When used 

in the appropriate system, the NBM Purifier Modules are designed to provide a continuous 

supply range of breathable air to meet the most exacting standards world-wide. The design 

incorporates several stages of purification in one simple to service cartridge, reducing the 

cost of ownership and simplifying maintenance.

Atmospheric air contains a number of contaminants which must be removed to ensure 

the provision of high purity breathable air. Contaminants present include dirt, water, oil, 

hydrocarbon vapors, bacteria and toxic gases such as CO, NO

2

 and SO

2

.

The nano breathing air module is a static adsorber, which employs two purification stages to 

ensure breathable compressed air is produced from a typical compressed air supply.

The purifier 

must

 be preceded by inlet filtration which removes dirt, bulk water and oil 

aerosols and a heatless desiccant air dryer which delivers air to -40

o

F pressure dewpoint. 

For advice on the required inlet air quality of the purifier please refer to the specification on 

page 7 or contact Nano Purification Solutions.

The purifier removes HydroCarbon Vapors and reduces CO

 

to specified levels through 

adsorbent and catalyst stages contained within removable cartridges. The cartridges 

are non-regenerative and should be replaced periodically inline with the product service 

schedule on page 17.
