On-Site Oxygen Production in a Compact Footprint
A compact oxygen plant does not simply mean reducing the dimensions of a standard system. The equipment arrangement is engineered to make efficient use of the available installation area while maintaining appropriate access for operation, inspection, and maintenance.
Ambient Air → Compression → Filtration & Drying → PSA Generation → Buffer Tank → Point of Use
When Is a Compact PSA Oxygen Plant Suitable?
A compact configuration can be considered when the customer needs on-site oxygen production but cannot allocate a large equipment room. The final plant size should be determined from oxygen demand and site conditions rather than footprint alone.
Typical Deployment Situations:
- Limited equipment-room or retrofitted space
- Small and medium-sized facilities with moderate oxygen demand
- Remote industrial sites and mining camps
- Temporary projects and field hospitals
- Existing facilities requiring an additional oxygen source
- Applications requiring decentralized oxygen production
- Projects where equipment footprint directly affects civil installation cost
- Mobile or containerized deployments for frequent relocation
Main System Components & Integrated Functions
The compact system integrates all major oxygen-production equipment into a coordinated, space-optimized configuration:
* Note: Oxygen compression boosters, high-pressure storage banks, or cylinder filling manifolds can be seamlessly added when high-pressure gas is required.
How the Compact PSA Oxygen Plant Works
Draws atmospheric air into the air-treatment section based on local ambient and ventilation conditions.
Increases feed pressure to PSA operating levels, taking flow, altitude, and site temperature into calculation.
Removes contaminants, particles, and excess moisture to preserve molecular sieve adsorption efficiency.
Molecular sieve preferentially adsorbs nitrogen while oxygen-rich gas passes through the adsorption vessel.
Vessels depressurize automatically to release adsorbed nitrogen before switching back to production mode.
Generated oxygen enters a buffer tank to absorb short-term flow and pressure variations before consumption.
Supplies product gas directly to downstream processes or high-pressure compressors at specified parameters.
Compact Plant Across Diverse Applications
Medical Oxygen Supply
Configured for healthcare facilities, clinics, and emergency centers. Connects directly to medical pipelines or cylinder filling stations while meeting clinical standards.
Ozone & Wastewater Treatment
Feeds high-purity dry oxygen directly into ozone generators for drinking water, industrial wastewater treatment, and advanced oxidation processes (AOP).
Metal Cutting & Shipbreaking
Delivers stable combustion oxygen for workshop metal fabrication, oxy-fuel flame cutting, scrap yard demolition, and coastal shipbreaking yards.
Intensive Aquaculture Systems
Maintains optimal dissolved oxygen levels in fish/shrimp hatcheries, intensive farms, and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS).
Remote Mining & Offshore Projects
Containerized rugged units engineered for isolated industrial facilities, island platforms, altitude mining camps, and mineral leaching.
Gas Cylinder Filling Stations
Pairs compact generation with high-pressure oil-free boosters to fill 150-200 bar portable oxygen cylinders for localized gas distributors.
Compact PSA Oxygen Plant Configurations
Different applications require tailored downstream arrangements:
PSA Plant → Buffer → Process
Ideal for continuous steady-state direct consumption.
PSA Plant → Buffer → Storage → Process
Ideal where extra gas inventory is needed for peak loads.
PSA Plant → Buffer → Booster → Storage → Ramp
Suitable for cylinder filling and backup bank charging.
PSA Plant → Buffer Tank → Ozone Generator
Flow and dew point tuned precisely to generator specs.
