OverviewBERG GaseTech CMS 260 is a carbon molecular sieve (CMS) designed for use in pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and similar gas separation processes. It separates gas molecules by size and polarity and is particularly effective for nitrogen extraction from air, achieving nitrogen purities typically in the range of 97 % to 99.995 % depending on system configuration and operating conditions.
