This publication is a guide to safety in the location, installation, operation, and maintenance of certain oxygen and nitrogen generators. Includes systems using PSA and membranes for nitrogen production, PSA and VSA for oxygen production and catalyst-based oxygen removal systems for nitrogen purification. Discusses potential hazards, including asphyxiant properties of oxygen-deficient atmospheres, ability of oxygen-rich atmospheres to accelerate combustion, noise, electricity, rotating equipment and gases under pressure.
Systems using cryogenic technologies for producing nitrogen, oxygen, or both are covered in CGA P-8.
