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 |

I can survey them with the eye of analysis.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
