Membrane method Oxygen blending
No O2 equipment cleaning Risk of leakage and explosion
Uses inexpensive compressed air Requires expensive O2
Low, non critical maintenance High, critical and expensive maintenance
Uses standard oil lubricated compressors Expensive oil free compressor required
High volume output Low volume production
Continuous on-site production Only 50% of O2 cylinder usable
Lightweight and compact Requires heavy O2 cylinders
Dive boats live-aboard and remote sites Requires facility for safe production

Famous quotes containing the words differences between, differences, method, oxygen and/or blending:

    The extent to which a parent is able to see a child’s world through that child’s eyes depends very much on the parent’s ability to appreciate the differences between herself and her child and to respect those differences. Your own children need you to accept them for who they are, not who you would like them to be.
    Lawrence Balter (20th century)

    I don’t know what immutable differences exist between men and women apart from differences in their genitals; perhaps there are some other unchangeable differences; probably there are a number of irrelevant differences. But it is clear that until social expectations for men and women are equal, until we provide equal respect for both men and women, our answers to this question will simply reflect our prejudices.
    Naomi Weisstein (b. 1939)

    in the absence of feet, “a method of conclusions”;
    “a knowledge of principles,”
    in the curious phenomenon of your occipital horn.
    Marianne Moore (1887–1972)

    All the oxygen of the world was in them.
    All the feet of the babies of the world were in them.
    All the crotches of the angels of the world were in them.
    All the morning kisses of Philadelphia were in them.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It is conventional to call “monster” any blending of dissonant elements.... I call “monster” every original inexhaustible beauty.
    Alfred Jarry (1873–1907)
