 1 O2 making machine
Presently there are different kinds of oxygen making machines with oxygen purities from 90% to 99.9%.

According to achieved oxygen quality - the O2 purity, there are several kinds of O2 machines.
(1) >99.5% air separation unit
(2) ≧ 99.5% membrane O2 generator
(3) 90-99% PSA O2 generator
(4) 85-95% VPSA O2 Plant

Cryogenic oxygen plant (>99.5%)

Cryogenic oxygen plant or called air Separation Unit (ASU) can generate only oxygen, or generate both
oxygen and nitrogen in gas or liquid form. The working principle of it is that dry saturated air with
purifications to remove moisture, impurities entering the lower tower becomes liquid air as it continues
to be cryogenic. Physically air is separated, and high purities oxygen and nitrogen are obtained by
rectifying in fractionating column according to different boiling points of them. Rectifying is the
process of multiple partial evaporation and multiple partial condensation.

This kind of cryogenic oxygen plant has main components including rectifying tower or cooling tower,
air compressor, pre-cooler, turbine expander etc.

 Membrane oxygen generator ( ≧ 99.5%)

After a series of purification process compressed air

with around 21% percent oxygen goes into Oxygen
membrane separator. One part of it with wealthy argon
and nitrogen is ventilated while the other part with
lean argon and enriched oxygen is collected at one
outlet and the other part. The latter is compressed into
separator to do the secondary separation and recycling.
Desired qualified oxygen is output and unqualified is
returned to separator to again separated until desired
99.5% purity oxygen is got to output as product gas.

 PSA oxygen generator (90%-99%)
PSA means Pressure Swing Adsorption. This On Site PSA oxygen generator is based on following
working principle. Compressed air through filtration and purification to remove remnant water, oil,
dust, and then enters adsorption vessel filled with molecular Sieve. Nitrogen is absorbed by sieve and
desired oxygen passes to output as product gas at purity 93+/-3% (90%-96%). Through a purifier to
further purify the first stage oxygen, 98%+/-1% (97%-99%) purity oxygen is obtained.

Generally we developed below types of oxygen plants with different kinds of key components to suit
different circumstances:

High attitude type: to suit high attitude plateau ( like Tibet) environment of oxygen deficiency and
low oxygen partial pressure.
High latitude type: to suit cold temperature in high latitude areas (like Northeast China) in winter.
High temperature & high humidity type: to suit low latitude areas (like South China)
especially in Summer.
Wind & sandstorm proof type: to suite desert areas with much wind and sandstorms (like
Northwest China)

Advantages of On Site PSA oxygen generator

-Simple/easy installation & operation. Smaller weight to move
-High safety under working conditions of low pressure and normal temperature
-Smaller investment
-Purity up to 99% through purification

Commercial Applications:

Containers to hold the package are always customized with 10-40 feet with necessary firefighting,
venting, lightning devices inside.

For institutions of those remote areas far away from downtown, like islands, field medical units, or
applications with mobile purpose, it is very suitable.

There are some advantages of this type:

which makes it difficult for transporting oxygen in cylinders.

It is also used by hospitals to store redundant oxygen after meeting oxygen demands of patients
rooms. And for merchants to produce oxygen gas for commercial sale purpose.

 VPSA oxygen plant
VPSA means Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption. Feed air is sucked filters for removal of dust before
boosted to 0.3~0.5barg by roots blower. It then goes into an absorber full of absorbent activated
aluminum to eliminate water, CO2 and other gases at the bottom, above which N2 absorbed by
absorbent zeolite molecular sieve. O2 with argon is output on the top as product gas into oxygen
buffer tank and then boosted to higher pressure by oxygen compressor to consumption point.

When the absorbents are at saturation state full of absorbed gases, it is depressurized to negative
micro-pressure before vacuumized by vacuum pump to -0.5~-0.8barg. Then the air of the other
absorber and some product gas will be let in to push absorbed water, CO2, N2 to atmosphere. The
absorbent is regenerated. The other absorber is like this, again and again.

VPSA oxygen generation plant has similar working principle to PSA method. They both uses the
characteristics of adsorbent molecular sieve to separate nitrogen and get oxygen. The difference is PSA
has pressurized adsorption (0.2~0.6Mpa), atmospheric desorption. And VPSA has adsorption under
atmosphere or slightly above atmospheric pressure (0 ~ 50Kpa), vacuum pump desorption (-50 ~
-80Kpa).

After the machine is connected well with power source and cooling water, firstly it starts with gaseous
nitrogen being generated by PSA nitrogen generator with not more than 1.0% oxygen content, which
takes approximately 30 minutes. Or using a small membrane nitrogen generator with faster output.
Secondly nitrogen gas is cooled to -196°C to become liquid nitrogen with helium compressor / cold-
head working together which takes around 4 hours.

Liquid nitrogen is produced at the flow specified per day until the storage vessel is full. Then liquid
nitrogen plant will go into standby mode and will automatically restart once the storage volume drops
to pre-set level.

The control unit shows the user all the useful information including flow process, alarms, trend curves
and so on to ensure continuous nitrogen supply.

decomposition, the high-temperature gas conducts heat exchange with gaseous ammonia in the heat
exchanger, decomposes the gas to cool down, and the gas ammonia recovers the heat and enters the
decomposition furnace after heating up. Then a mixture of 75% hydrogen and 25% nitrogen is made.
