Differences Between The Membrane Method and Oxygen Blending
| 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, method, oxygen and/or blending:
“I may be able to spot arrowheads on the desert but a refrigerator is a jungle in which I am easily lost. My wife, however, will unerringly point out that the cheese or the leftover roast is hiding right in front of my eyes. Hundreds of such experiences convince me that men and women often inhabit quite different visual worlds. These are differences which cannot be attributed to variations in visual acuity. Man and women simply have learned to use their eyes in very different ways.”
—Edward T. Hall (b. 1914)
“I do not know a method of drawing up an indictment against a whole people.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“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)
“On wings of morning our prayers and devotions are soaring.
All of creation awakens, the Maker adoring.
Join in the song. Harmonies blending along,
Vigor and life now restoring.”
—Jane Parker Huber (b. 1926)
