Oxygen is a highly reactive gas used in many industrial processes. Various industries need bulk quantities of oxygen gas are needed for manufacturing processes. Therefore, installing an industrial oxygen plant lets businesses receive pure oxygen onsite, reducing the dependence on external supplies of oxygen cylinders. Oxygen is used for oxidation, combustion, cutting, welding, and other chemical procedures applied in industries. MVS Engineering Pvt. Ltd manufactures oxygen generators that can produce any required amount of pure oxygen gas.
Operational Procedure of a PSA Oxygen Generator
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology is applied to manufacture an effective PSA oxygen generator. The atmospheric air is compressed and cooled before passing into the generator. Two large vessels are totally packed with molecular sieves, which adsorb nitrogen from air, leaving oxygen gas. The pure oxygen is then dried and sent via pipelines to manufacturing sites. These sieve-packed vessels function alternately to maintain a steady flow of oxygen gas for industrial processes. MVS Engineering customizes the oxygen flow rate, production capacity, and the purity level of oxygen, according to each industrial application of the oxygen plant.
Which Industries Need To Install Oxygen Generators?
Oxygen generators are used for combustion, oxidation, wastewater treatment, manufacturing, and processing at different industrial sites.
Steel manufacturing – Oxygen is used for cutting and welding steel. The supply of oxygen can boost the temperature of furnaces, which is vital for speeding up the combustion processes.
Metal fabrication – The addition of oxygen to other fuel gases helps speed up various fabrication processes, like cutting, brazing, and heating.
Glass industry – Oxygen increases the temperature of furnaces, where glass is melted to be molded into various desired objects. Thus, the combustion efficiency is improved to make glass manufacturing faster and smoother.
Chemical industry – Oxygen is essential for the oxidation of various chemicals, leading to the formation of the required chemical products.
Paper industry – Pure oxygen is applied for bleaching, delignification, and other procedures involved in pulp processing for manufacturing paper.
Mining industry – Oxygen is necessary for processing minerals and other metallurgical operations, as per the specific requirements of mining.
Aquaculture – Pure oxygen gas dissolves in the water where different types of fish and other aquatic creatures are nurtured in aqua farming systems. In this way, fish and shrimps can grow faster and become healthier.
Oil and gas industries – Oxygen is applied in all refining and oxidation processes required in oil refineries. The combustion processes are sped up with the oxygen supply.
Wastewater treatment – Oxygen supports the growth of microorganisms that are used for breaking down organic pollutants in biological treatment of wastewater.
