Continental Automotive purchased a membrane nitrogen generator from Compressed Gas Technologies Inc. in February. The high flow PMNG nitrogen generator will supply nitrogen to inert enclosures in the R&D facility. The PMNG model was chosen because of its small footprint and low noise level compared to a comparably sized PSA nitrogen generator.
