Bigchris, what Hacker said. A dive club might be better able to pool funds and make more efficient use of a membrane separator. The group would need to obtain a LP compressor to supply clean air at about 150-200 psi. You would still need to buy O2 for high octane stage bottles or emergency cylinders. Theoretically, you could re-run a batch of NITROX and boost it, but that is probably the line in the sand. Only an oxygen compressor could raise the pressure properly. It would have to be stored, decanted with a regulator, filtered, and boosted again. A specially modified RIX SA-6 is available from a company in England but that is VERY expensive. There is a small oxygen compressor from Canada for about 1/2 that amount but availability is spotty from this small company.
