Using this type of production you seperate nitrox directly from the surrounding environment.

There is no need for pure oxygen and gas mixing devices, such as panels or complicated mathematical methods.

The oxygen content is controlled by a simple valve set to a certain gas flow.

The variation of the produced nitrox is less than 0.3 % from the preset value. This outstanding precision cannot be reached by any other production method.

The easy and safe design of a nitrox membrane system allows it’s handling by anyone that has had a short training course in the relevant procedures. There is no need for highly qualifield staff, such as gas-blenders.

The maintenance is simple and demands no consumable material. Therefore the costs are extremely low.

With the correct operation and installation, the economic life-time of a nitrox membrane system is more than 30 years.

If a divecenter plans to produce nitrox quickly, which is also safe and low priced, the best choice is a membrane system.

Your benefits to easy and safe nitrox production:

• No pure oxygen usage and no gas-blending.
• Preset oxygen content (21% - 40%) via a simple valve. No highly qualified staff required.
• Variation less than 0.3% from the preset value.
High filling performance:
• The chosen nitrox mix will be compressed by a high pressure compressor in the normal way. This guarantees that the filling process is as fast as you fill compressed air.

High economic life-time:

• A nitrox membrane does not have mechanical or chemical wear. With the correct operation and installation the economic lifetime of a membrane system is more than 30 years.

High quality of the breathing gas:

• The membrane used in this kind of system is especially designed to produce breathing gas. Therefore unwanted enrichment of CO and CO² can be avoided.

Low maintenance:

• The costs for maintenance are extremely low and apply mainly to the high pressure compressor that the membrane is attached to.

A complete triple filter unit with micro, refining and active carbon filters guarantees absolute safety.

Membrane body:

Only approx. two liters of compressed air are needed for the generation of a liter of Nitrox32.This means a very good ratio from only a relatively small amount of compressed air, and only a low pressure is required.

Some membrane systems work with preheating the air flowing to the membrane to speed up the process. Others do not work with preheating; this is a decisive advantage; since preheating can result in an unwanted enrichment of CO and CO2 in the breathing gas.

This is especially true for the ATX200, which has been recognised as one of the best regulators on the market with a great combination of superb performance and compact size.

A regulator that all collectors and serious divers must have!

THE BLACK PEARL is the first regulator ever made using investment casting technology, which allows for extremely fine detail in the body of its first stage. The ‘High Tec' grades of Chromium, Titanium, and Zirconium give this regulator an extremely hard, low-friction Diamond PVD finish, (Physical Vapour Deposition - a computer controlled process that guarantees performance and reproductibility). PVD offers extreme protection and high resistance to wear.

The BLACK PEARL is suitable for use with up to 40% oxygen, and can be cleaned suitable for 100% O2.
It sports an investment-cast brass body with a beautifully embossed hard-hat diver and seascape.

It is not only the best looking regulator I have seen so far but without doubt the best performing one as well.

While testing it on one of our recent extended range dives, it was used as both a bottom regulator and during decompression on the stage tanks and not only worked faultlessly as expected but also delivered any gas in the most comfortable way - no way to out breath this buddy!

If you would like to stand out from your dive buddies but don't want to pay for a submarine to do so, get your hands on one of these - it will cope with anything you throw at it, depth and extreme temperatures alike.

Just keep in mind there are only 5000 of them being produced worldwide so be quick if you want one!
