CENTROX
The AirSep Centrox Oxygen Concentrator/ Generatoris a high-performance Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) oxygen generation system designed to provide a reliable on-site supply of concentrated oxygen without the need for continuous oxygen cylinder deliveries.
With oxygen production of up to 15 LPM (32 SCFH) and product pressure up to 50 psig (345 kPa / 3.5 bar), the Centrox is suitable for a wide range of applications requiring a dependable source of oxygen. Depending on configuration and operating conditions, the system can produce oxygen at concentrations of approximately 93% nominal and up to 95%.
The Centrox incorporates an integrated air compressor, PSA oxygen concentrator, oxygen concentration monitoring and automatic operation, making it particularly suitable for installations where consistent oxygen availability and reduced dependence on bottled or bulk oxygen are important.
Call 0161 221 2231 to discuss your oxygen requirements, specifications, installation and hire options.
The Centrox uses Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to separate oxygen from compressed atmospheric air.
Air is drawn into the integrated compressor system and pressurised before entering the PSA concentrator. Molecular sieve material selectively adsorbs nitrogen from the compressed air, allowing oxygen-enriched gas to pass through as the product gas.
The PSA process regenerates the molecular sieve beds during operation, allowing the system to continuously produce oxygen without relying on conventional oxygen cylinder replacement. An oxygen concentration monitor continuously monitors the product gas and provides an alarm if oxygen purity falls below the specified level.
Generating oxygen on-site can reduce reliance on regular cylinder deliveries and provide a more convenient supply for suitable applications.
The Centrox is designed for automatic operation and can cycle according to oxygen demand, helping to optimise operation when demand varies.
The system incorporates oxygen concentration monitoring, with a low-purity indication and alarm function designed to alert operators if oxygen concentration falls below the specified threshold.
The Centrox uses heavy-duty metal enclosures and is designed for commercial and demanding operating environments.
With compressor, PSA concentrator, monitoring and optional receiver/accessory packages available, the Centrox can form part of a complete on-site oxygen generation installation.

Specifications can vary according to the particular Centrox configuration and customer requirements. Current AirSep documentation specifies 15 LPM, 50 psig and up to 95% oxygen concentration, while the original product literature gives 93% nominal concentration.
The Centrox should be installed in a suitable, well-ventilated location protected from weather and environmental exposure. Current AirSep documentation specifies an ambient operating range of approximately 4°C to 44°C.
Adequate ventilation, appropriate electrical supply, suitable oxygen-rated connections and correct downstream equipment are important when installing an oxygen generation system.
Installation and commissioning should be undertaken by appropriately competent personnel and in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and all applicable requirements for the intended application.
A range of accessories and configuration options can be selected according to the application.
An optional 60-gallon oxygen receiver can be used as part of a complete oxygen generation system, providing additional stored oxygen capacity and helping to accommodate variations in demand.
Optional oxygen analysis equipment is available, including Maxtec oxygen analyser options, allowing oxygen concentration to be monitored independently where required.
Accessory kits are available for connecting the Centrox to downstream oxygen distribution systems. Options include stainless braided oxygen hose and primary/secondary oxygen ball-valve assemblies, as well as regulator and flowmeter assemblies.
The Centrox is available in different electrical configurations. Current documentation specifies 120 V / 60 Hz and 220–240 V / 50 Hz single-phase options. The correct electrical configuration should be confirmed when ordering.
The Centrox is designed for applications where an on-site supply of concentrated oxygen is required.
Potential medical applications include:
Important: suitability for a particular medical application depends on the exact Centrox model/configuration, regulatory requirements and installation. Please contact us to confirm suitability before specifying the system for patient use.
The Centrox can be used in suitable veterinary oxygen applications where a reliable on-site oxygen supply is required.
Oxygen concentrators are widely used as feed-gas sources for ozone generators. The Centrox can provide oxygen-enriched gas for suitable ozone-generation systems and related processes.
Potential environmental applications include oxygen supply for environmental remediation and other processes requiring an oxygen-enriched gas supply.
The Centrox can be used for suitable industrial processes including:
The Centrox can also be considered for suitable fish farming and aquaculture oxygenation applications where an on-site oxygen supply is required.
The AirSep Centrox is a PSA oxygen concentrator that produces oxygen-enriched gas from atmospheric air. It combines an air compressor with a PSA concentrator system and oxygen monitoring equipment.

Yes. SOS Hygiene offers Centrox oxygen concentrator hire for suitable applications. Availability and configuration should be confirmed at the time of enquiry.
The system is available in different electrical configurations. Current documentation specifies 120 V ±10%, 60 Hz or 220–240 V, 50 Hz, single phase. Please confirm the required configuration before ordering or hiring.
The Centrox has documented medical applications, including oxygen therapy and anaesthesia. However, the suitability of a particular unit for patient use depends on the exact model, configuration, installation and applicable regulatory requirements. Always confirm suitability with SOS Hygiene before using any oxygen generator in a medical or patient-care application.
We recommend providing the required oxygen flow rate, pressure, concentration, application, operating hours, electrical supply and whether oxygen storage is required. This allows us to identify the most appropriate configuration.
If you are looking to buy or hire an AirSep Centrox oxygen concentrator, speak to SOS Hygiene for advice on the appropriate configuration, accessories and installation requirements.
