Gas Generation - Oxygen PSA Systems
ADSORBENT MEDIA FOR ON-SITE OXYGEN GENERATION
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology produces oxygen directly from compressed air using specialised adsorbent media. Zeolite Molecular Sieve is the primary adsorbent used within PSA Oxygen Generators and plays a critical role in determining oxygen purity, recovery efficiency, and operating costs.
SORB-TECH supplies high-performance Zeolite Molecular Sieves specifically designed for oxygen generation applications, together with Activated Alumina and Activated Carbon used to protect and optimise oxygen generation systems.
HOW PSA OXYGEN GENERATION WORKS
Atmospheric air contains approximately 78% nitrogen and 21% oxygen. PSA Oxygen Generators use Zeolite Molecular Sieve to selectively adsorb nitrogen molecules while allowing oxygen molecules to pass through as the product gas.
The system operates using alternating adsorption and regeneration cycles, continuously separating oxygen from compressed air and delivering a reliable supply of high-purity oxygen.
The quality and condition of the molecular sieve media are critical factors affecting oxygen purity, recovery efficiency, compressed air consumption, and long-term system performance.

Zeolite Molecular Sieve Grades and Nitrogen Purity
SORB-TECH supplies two specialised molecular sieve products for PSA Oxygen Generation Systems:
| SORB-TECH Grade | Technology | Typical Application | Key Benefits |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZEOSORB 13X O₂ | Sodium X Molecular Sieve | Standard PSA Oxygen Generators | Proven technology, reliable performance, cost-effective oxygen production |
| ZEOSORB Li-LSX | Lithium Low Silica X Molecular Sieve | High-Efficiency PSA Oxygen Generators | Higher oxygen recovery, lower compressed air consumption, reduced energy costs |
Both products selectively adsorb nitrogen from compressed air while allowing oxygen to pass through as the product gas.
