NOVAIR, a French pioneer in on-site medical oxygen, is pushing the limits of innovation. Today, we are proud to unveil our latest groundbreaking development: the Ionic Oxygen Generator. Developed in collaboration with NASA, ION combines reliability, compactness, and ease of use. It represents the most significant technological advancement in the world.

Ultra-compact dimensions:
0.5 m² on the ground
Plug and play
Ultra-quiet
Expandable capacity
Our atmosphere is primarily composed of nitrogen (78%), oxygen (21%), and argon (1%). This is an almost infinite source of free oxygen. Using a next-generation ceramic membrane, ION converts molecular oxygen into ionized oxygen atoms through an electrochemical process. When the oxygen comes into contact with the membrane, the atoms are immediately attracted to the front face of a solid ceramic crystal, which can only accept oxygen ions.
A small continuous voltage (less than 1 volt) ionizes the oxygen molecules and forces the ions to migrate through the ceramic crystal. They then emerge from the back of the ceramic membrane and are immediately recombined into oxygen molecules.
No compressor or machine
ION produces oxygen under pressure from ambient air, without a compressor! The electric "force" applied to the electrochemical cell forces the oxygen to migrate efficiently through the ceramic membrane, generating oxygen under pressure up to 12 bar.
No consumables
ION produces ultra-pure oxygen using ionic technology that requires no consumables. The next-generation ceramic membrane at the heart of the system is not subject to wear.
High reliability
ION is a highly reliable generator: it contains no moving parts or rotating machines that require regular maintenance or pose a risk of failure.
ION drastically reduces the carbon impact of oxygen supply compared to oxygen delivery and PSA generator production.
