Nitrogen Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Systems

Nitrogen PSA system:

The Nitrogen PSA system has been around for years. PSA's are reliable and safe. PSA's are especially recommended for higher purity applications. Typically, PSA's are most economically suited for applications requiring purities in excess of 98%. PSA's typically have an ideal flow range of between 500 SCFH and 100,000 SCFH, with pressures up to 120 psig (without booster compression). Purities of up to 99.995% can be achieved with a PSA system.

HOW PSA TECHNOLOGY WORKS?

Compressed air enters one end of two absorber tubes . . . filled with carbon molecular sieve (CMS). While the smaller oxygen molecules are absorbed by the CMS, the larger nitrogen molecules pass through and are stored. Upon saturation, the first adsorber releases the oxygen, which the second adsorber starts the process over again.

Since the molecular sieves are constantly regenerating themselves during the purge cycle, there is virtually never a need for replacement of this primary component. The only maintenance required is the easy replacement of small filters that take less than 5 minutes to perform - a few times a year.

WHY a PSA?

Up to 50% gas cost savings over traditional supply methods
Achieve high purities at low costs
Minimized electrical power consumption.
Fast simple installation
Flexibility and reliability
Low maintenance
