Buying Guide – Choosing the Right Oxygen Generator for Your Industrial Needs

Oxygen is used in many industries, including healthcare, aquaculture, manufacturing, and wastewater treatment. While oxygen can be delivered in cylinders and bulk liquid to be used on-site, oxygen generators have many benefits including energy efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and reliability.

If your business or organization requires a reliable, steady supply of oxygen to achieve its goals or create its products, an oxygen generator may be the best option for your needs. Below, we’ve listed oxygen generator applications for industrial oxygen use.

If you need oxygen in manufacturing your products or to achieve your goals, On Site Gas Systems can design an oxygen generator that offers oxygen at the purity and flow rate you require.

How Oxygen Generators Work

Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) oxygen generators use a molecular sieve to separate gas molecules. The PSA generator has two towers that are constantly being pressurized and depressurized so that a continuous supply of oxygen is generated.

Oxygen can be produced at different purity and flow rates and depends on the requirements for your process. The professionals at On Site Gas will help you determine the specifications for your needs.

Compared to other oxygen supply methods such as bulk oxygen and liquid oxygen tanks, these oxygen generators have many benefits. Bulk oxygen and liquid oxygen must be on a continuous delivery system to ensure that oxygen is always on hand for its intended purpose. Businesses that use these deliveries for various processes or processes related to their industry incur many expenses related to the delivery of oxygen. These expenses can add up over time.

When administrative problems occur and deliveries do not happen on time, the result is a lot of scrambling to find the necessary supply of oxygen. This can lead to a lot of expense and administrative difficulty.

Oxygen generators use the oxygen in the air to provide a steady, continuous source of oxygen. Oxygen generators use less energy and are reliable. If you need oxygen on demand throughout the year, an oxygen generator is the best option for your business.

Key Factors to Consider When Choosing an Oxygen Generator

When you’re trying to choose an oxygen generator for your business, there are many key factors to consider. The professionals at On Site Gas Systems will help you consider these factors and create an oxygen generator for your business or company’s purposes.

Oxygen Purity Levels

Oxygen purity levels vary by industry, and knowing the correct purity level for your industry can help you as you choose which type of oxygen generator is right for your business. There are charts online to help businesses determine the purity required for their industry. On Site provides oxygen generators in ranges from 90% to 98 +/- 1% oxygen purity.

Flow Rate and Capacity

The flow rate is how many liters of oxygen your generator delivers each minute. Different devices offer oxygen flow at different rates, and to match your business with a generator that will produce adequate oxygen flow, it’s important to calculate the required output for your operation.

Pressure Requirements

Pressure also varies by oxygen generator device. It’s important to match the generator’s pressure output with your equipment or processes.

Energy Efficiency

Oxygen generators operate at different efficiency levels. Since oxygen is an ongoing need and represents an ongoing expense, businesses need to know how much energy their oxygen generator will use before investing in a system. The greater the energy efficiency, the more long-term savings a business can realize.

Space and Installation Requirements

Oxygen generators can be very large depending on the oxygen production requirements, or they can be very small. It’s important to choose a generator that fits within your available space. Work with your custom oxygen generator designer to determine how much space your generator will take up and where your generator will be installed on your site.

Maintenance and Service

Ease of maintenance and availability of support services are an important consideration. Performing regular maintenance on your oxygen generator will help it last longer.

Industry-Specific Considerations

Healthcare Industry

Medical facilities like field hospitals and ambulances require a supply of oxygen and emergency oxygen to protect the lives of patients who depend on supplemental oxygen.

Wastewater Treatment

Oxygen is used to treat wastewater as injection of oxygen into wastewater helps produce bacteria that can break down contaminants. Using an on-site generator helps make this process more efficient.

Aquaculture & Fish Farming

Oxygen generators help ensure optimal oxygen levels for aquatic life. When purchasing an oxygen generator for your aquaculture and fish farming operation, the size and output of the generator must be based on fish density and water volume.

Choose the Best Oxygen Generator for Your Business

When you’re choosing an oxygen generator for your business, it’s important to choose a generator that will deliver oxygen at the correct pressure, flow, and purity. The professionals at On Site Gas Systems can help. Call today to make an appointment and get started creating your oxygen gas system.
