Safe NITROX from Professionals
B-TROX - Systematically Secure
To make sure dealing with NITROX is as safe and easy as possible, BAUER delivers a complete ready-to-use membrane system to produce NITROX:
A low pressure compressor or a storage bank combined with a pressure reducer deliver oil-free air with a pressure of 6 to 8 bar to the B-TROX membrane unit.
The B-Trox membrane unit includes a refrigerative dryer, a filter unit and the nitrogen membrane.
The refrigerative dryer guarantees a constant temperature of the air, which then flows through a filter unit into the nitrogen membrane.
In the nitrogen membrane the proportion of oxygen in the air is increased (NITROX 32 to NITROX 36, optional to NITROX 40) by splitting the nitrogen.
The NITROX-mixture with atmospherical pressure (0 bar) reaches via a regulating unit into the high pressure compressor with a particular NITROX block.
There the NITROX is then compressed to 200 bar final pressure and subsequently filled into authorized NITROX vessels.

1 - Supply of oil-free air
via a BAUER oilless block or a ROTORCOMP screw compressor or a BAUER storage bank at the B-TROX membrane.
Storage bank size for different NITROX concentrations:
Example: F.A.D. 320 l/min, storage pressure PN 200
| NITROX concentration |
32% |
36% |
40% |
| diving cylinders to be refuelled á 10 l |

BAUER-Advantages:
Absolutely oil-free air from BAUER'S best low pressure compressors ensures B-TROX membrane efficiency.
Perfect adaption of the low pressure compressor to the B-TROX membrane is guaranteed.
Ready-to-use complete solution from one hand including consultation and necessary technical acceptance.
If a storage bank is used, no additional oilfree low-pressure compressor is required. It can be fed via the BAUER high pressure compressor.
2 - NITROX production
in the BAUER B-TROX membrane unit.
BAUER-Advantages:
Easy to operate:
The quantity delivered does not alter in the case of thermal fluctuation. Therefore there is no need to make readjustments!
Self-explanatory pictograms allow fast and safe operation.
Plug and Fill:
Connect the B-TROX membrane unit via the admission pressure connection to the low pressure compressor / storage bank and via the high pressure connection to the high pressure compressor - finished!
3 - Compressing NITROX
with BAUER-NITROX high pressure compressors.
BAUER-Advantages:
Absolutely safe!
BAUER is the only manufacturer to offer NITROX compressor blocks with TÜV (Technical Inspection Authority) certification for up to 40 percent proportion of oxygen!
We use nitrox-optimised components to ensure the compressor has a long service life.
* TÜV-certification only in combination with a B-TROX membrane unit!
4 - The central operat. manifold
B-TROX membrane unit's central control panel stands out due to its well arranged design and because it is easy to operate.
BAUER-Advantages:
1 - Inlet and outlet pressure can be controlled at all times with the manometer.
2 - Oxygen monitor permanently shows the oxygen content.
3 - Clear self-explanatory pictograms make it easy to operate.
4 - Oxygen content can be easily set with a hand wheel.
5 - Pressure reducer for regulating admission pressure determines the quantity of delivered NITROX.
