[Suzhou XITE Gas] Working principle: PSA and membrane technology

Oxygen and nitrogen are used by manufacturers for many purposes. Compared with natural gas transmission, on-site gas production will be more economical and efficient.

In order to achieve the appropriate nitrogen purity level, the nitrogen generator (nitrogen generator) works by membrane technology or pressure swing adsorption (PSA); However, oxygen production is completely dependent on PSA technology.

What is the difference between PSA technology and membrane technology?

Adsorption is a physical process in which one substance is completely combined with another substance. Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology aims to separate gas molecules from each other by using the concept of adsorption. The adsorption process includes the temporary adhesion of molecules to the surface of some materials in contact with them.

PSA nitrogen and oxygen generator - process flow

PSA nitrogen generator usually consists of at least two towers. These towers contain carbon molecular sieves. Carbon molecular sieve is a kind of adsorption material.

Pressure swing adsorption system for nitrogen generation

When compressed air is pressed into the tower, the tower will be pressurized. Once pressurized, oxygen molecules are trapped in carbon molecular sieves. With the release of pressure, nitrogen molecules are collected into a tank; At the same time, oxygen is released back to the atmosphere through the vent. Once unwanted gas molecules are released into the atmosphere, they quickly switch back to environmental conditions.

Companies that often use PSA system for nitrogen production include:

Plastic molding

packaging

electronics

food

Drinks

Metallurgy

Fruit storage

PSA oxygen generation system

The working principle of oxygen generator using PSA technology is very similar to that of nitrogen generator, but zeolite is used to separate oxygen molecules; Therefore, they are separated from other molecules in the compressed air. Oxygen generation system is very suitable for wastewater treatment plant, ozone production and application and fish culture; In addition, the portable oxygen generator provided by the on-site gas system is very suitable for use in the medical field.

Nitrogen production membrane technology

The nitrogen film generator is used to remove nitrogen from the atmosphere. This is achieved by pushing compressed air through a group of polymer fibers. When compressed air passes through the membrane, nitrogen molecules separate from other molecules. The tiny pores on the membrane fibers allow oxygen to pass through and return to the atmosphere as waste gas: nitrogen molecules are too large to pass through the pores; Therefore, N2 molecule is captured at the other end.

Benefits of having your own on-site oxygen generator:

Before using the oxygen generation system on site, many enterprises have no choice but to buy Oxygen elsewhere. However, the use of on-site oxygen generator can eliminate all the troubles related to bulk purchase of oxygen. Our oxygen generator is an option with the greatest benefit: the average cost of producing oxygen by ourselves is one-third to one-half lower than the cost associated with purchasing oxygen. Using the on-site oxygen generator system, there is no need to pay the freight when purchasing oxygen. Our oxygen generator system usually allows you to recover the cost within 18 months.

In addition to economy, the oxygen generator system of the on-site oxygen generator also provides:

Reliability - the oxygen generator system on site uses the surrounding air to generate oxygen. Therefore, our customers never have to worry about the lack of oxygen. Reduce stress - improve safety through storage. Simple - we make it easy for people without relevant equipment experience. The visual touch screen control can control the stability of gas purity. At the same time, it can operate self diagnosis, visual operation diagram and maintenance plan reminder on the screen. Flexibility - our equipment is small and can be transported under various conditions, so as long as there is air and electricity, the equipment can operate stably anywhere. Fully automatic - once a downstream request is detected, production begins.

Why use Xite oxygen generator?

Our oxygen generator system provides reliable on-site oxygen supply for various industries, which is famous in China and Southeast Asia. Our on-site oxygen system can produce oxygen with purity up to 99.999%. For our oxygen generator, it can meet the oxygen production in any place and any complex environment.
