Patent number: 11066287Abstract: A system and method to supply nitrogen gas is provided. Ambient air is compressed and stored in a storage receiver and then nitrogen is separated from the compressed air in a nitrogen membrane separation unit. The separated nitrogen is stored in a nitrogen storage tank under pressure and released through a pressure control valve. The system is confined to a small footprint and is useful as a nitrogen source where conventional compressed nitrogen tanks are a safety or space issue. Systems to prepare nitrogen infused beverages are also provided.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2020Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: AUTOMATIC BAR CONTROLS, INC.Inventor: Charles Kleinrichert
