Oxygen is an essential gas that is widely required in many industrial applications and medical healthcare. Though oxygen is available sufficiently in the atmospheric air, it is mixed with nitrogen and other gases. So, pure oxygen gas is needed for chemical treatment in industries and to supply breathing support to patients in hospitals. Due to the increasing price of oxygen cylinders, it is best to install an oxygen gas plant at the required site to meet the oxygen requirement. MVS Engineering Pvt. Ltd offers PSA oxygen plants that can produce bulk amounts of oxygen.
Working Procedure of an Oxygen Gas Generator
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology is applied in manufacturing an oxygen gas generator to separate oxygen from other gases. Onsite oxygen plants take in atmospheric air and absorb nitrogen and moisture, delivering 95% pure oxygen gas. Molecular sieves are filled in a chamber to absorb nitrogen, and oxygen passes out to be collected in a separate jar. Nitrogen is then released back into the atmosphere to make the sieves ready for further operation. Thus, these generators function continuously to produce unlimited quantities of oxygen.
Key Benefits of Using an Oxygen Gas Plant
The installation of onsite oxygen plants has made it easy to meet the requirements for oxygen gas. The following advantages have encouraged users to buy and operate oxygen generators, finding relief from the hassle of buying oxygen cylinders.
Continuous oxygen supply – An oxygen gas plant produces oxygen gas continuously according to the requirement of the user. This onsite oxygen production frees people from the worry of getting a timely oxygen supply.
Lesser dependency on cylinders – The use of onsite oxygen plants helps in minimizing the need of buying and transporting oxygen cylinders from the market.
Cost efficiency – The continuous oxygen supply from an onsite oxygen plant decreases the cost of buying extra oxygen cylinders at high prices.
Flexible capacity – MVS Engineering customizes every oxygen generator with specific production capacity according to the requirements of customers. The oxygen flow rate, gas pressure, and purity level of oxygen are also configured accordingly.
Space efficiency – All oxygen generators are designed to be installed anywhere, even at sites with some space constraints.
Low operating cost – Since air is the only raw material, the production cost of pure oxygen is quite low. Moreover, the energy efficiency of the oxygen gas generator helps in reducing its operation cost.
Automatic operation – MVS Engineering has automated the controls and cycling of adsorption vessels to ensure continuous oxygen production with limited manual intervention.
