How PSA Oxygen Plant Works
How PSA Oxygen Plant Works Call Now How PSA Oxygen Plant Works: A Detailed Overview by PSG Engineering Company Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) oxygen plants are a critical technology for producing high-purity oxygen on demand. At PSG Engineering Company, we specialize in designing and manufacturing state-of-the-art PSA oxygen plants that efficiently meet the needs of various industries, including healthcare, steel manufacturing, and water treatment. The PSA Process Explained The PSA process is based on the principle of selective adsorption. Atmospheric air, which contains about 21% oxygen and 78% nitrogen, is the raw material for oxygen production. The PSA oxygen plant utilizes two towers filled with a specialized adsorbent material called Zeolite. Zeolite has the unique ability to adsorb nitrogen molecules under high pressure while allowing oxygen to pass through. Here’s how the process works: Air Compression and Purification: Ambient air is first compressed using an air compressor. The compressed air then passes through filters to remove dust, moisture, and other impurities, ensuring that only clean air enters the PSA system. Adsorption: The purified air is directed into the first tower, where nitrogen is adsorbed by the zeolite at high pressure. This allows oxygen to pass through the tower and be collected as the product gas. This step continues until the adsorbent in the first tower becomes saturated with nitrogen. Desorption and Regeneration: Once the first tower is saturated, the airflow is switched to the second tower. The pressure in the first tower is then reduced, causing the Zeolite to release the adsorbed nitrogen, which is vented out. This regeneration process prepares the tower for the next cycle. Continuous Operation: The PSA oxygen plant operates continuously by alternating between the two towers, ensuring a steady supply of high-purity oxygen. Why Choose PSG Engineering Company?
