Oxygen Generation Technology
Our Breakthrough Technology
Nernst’s Oxygen Generation units utilise our breakthrough ceramic Oxygen Transport Membrane (OTM) technology, bridging the gap between advanced materials science and industrial-scale scalability.
Our units leverage high-performance ceramic materials selected for thermal and chemical stability, allowing for continuous, high-purity oxygen separation. Manufacturing via a novel additive manufacturing process, we eliminate production complexity, slashing capital costs while maximizing performance.
How We Compare
Current industrial options force companies to compromise between massive upfront capital and shipping costs or crushing energy bills. Nernst eliminates that compromise.
-
The Cryogenic Bottleneck: Cryogenic plants require massive upfront investment, typically one plant per region, and incur staggering energy costs because they are designed to purify all gases in the air. Following generation, the oxygen is bottled and transported to site, incurring even more costs per kilogram of oxygen. If oxygen is your only goal, the energy waste and transport cost is disproportionately high.
-
The PSA Alternative: On-site Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) reduces energy consumption compared to cryogenic separation, but carries high hardware and maintenance costs and hurdles.
-
The Nernst Advantage: Our Oxygen Generation technology isolates only oxygen from air, lowering upfront CAPEX by 3x compared to PSA. Because our systems feature a fundamentally lower power requirement and negligible maintenance, OPEX is significantly decreased allowing Nernst to deliver an uncompromised, high-purity oxygen stream at the lowest total cost of ownership.
