AIRSEP Oxygen Concentrators

AirSep Oxygen Generation Systems for Medical, Commercial & Industrial Applications

AirSep oxygen concentrators and oxygen generators provide a reliable on-site source of concentrated oxygen for a wide range of medical, veterinary, commercial, environmental and industrial applications.

At SOS Hygiene, we supply and support AirSep oxygen concentrators and PSA oxygen generation equipment, including the highly versatile AirSep Centrox range.

Unlike conventional oxygen cylinders, PSA oxygen generators produce oxygen directly from atmospheric air using Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology. This can provide a practical alternative to relying solely on delivered oxygen cylinders for suitable applications, particularly where a continuous or on-demand oxygen supply is required.

AirSep's self-contained oxygen generators are designed for applications ranging from medical and veterinary oxygen supply through to manufacturing, ozone generation, environmental treatment and aquaculture. The manufacturer's range includes compact self-contained systems as well as larger engineered oxygen generation plants.

AirSep Oxygen Concentrators & Choosing the right one.

An oxygen concentrator uses atmospheric air as its feed gas and separates oxygen from nitrogen using PSA technology.

PSA stands for Pressure Swing Adsorption.

During operation, compressed atmospheric air passes through molecular sieve material. Nitrogen is preferentially adsorbed while oxygen passes through as the product gas.

The process then regenerates the molecular sieve so that the system can continue producing oxygen.

This allows an AirSep PSA oxygen generator to produce oxygen on site without requiring a separate bulk oxygen supply as its
feed source.

AirSep states that PSA is a physical separation process and is the underlying technology used across its standard oxygen generator range. AirSep oxygen generators also use molecular sieve technology to selectively remove nitrogen from compressed air, producing an oxygen-enriched product gas.

Depending on the model, AirSep systems can provide different combinations of oxygen flow, pressure and concentration.

Choosing the Right AirSep Oxygen Concentrator

Selecting the correct oxygen generator is
primarily about matching the equipment to the application.

Before choosing a model, consider:

1. Oxygen Flow

How much oxygen do you require in LPM, SCFH or Nm³/hr?

2. Oxygen Pressure

Does the application require a low-pressure oxygen supply, or do you need pressures approaching 50 psig / 345 kPa?

3. Oxygen Concentration

What oxygen concentration is required at the point of use?

4. Duty Cycle

Will the generator operate continuously, intermittently or according to variable demand?

5.Application

Medical, veterinary, ozone generation, aquaculture, wastewater treatment and industrial applications may have very different equipment and compliance requirements.

6.Installation Environment

Consider ventilation, ambient temperature, electrical supply, available space and downstream oxygen distribution requirements.

7. Oxygen Storage

Determine whether an oxygen receiver or other buffer capacity is required.

AirSep Oxygen Concentrator Applications

AirSep oxygen generation technology is used across a diverse range of applications.

Medical Oxygen Supply

AirSep systems are used for suitable medical oxygen applications, including healthcare facilities and smaller medical installations. AirSep states that its self-contained Centrox and Reliant systems provide oxygen for medical and veterinary applications.

Medical applications can include:

  • Medical oxygen supply
  • Clinics
  • Remote healthcare facilities
  • Emergency oxygen requirements
  • Veterinary medicine
  • Healthcare oxygen distribution systems

Important: medical use requires the correct model, configuration, installation and regulatory approvals for the intended application. Always confirm suitability before specifying an oxygen generator for patient use.

Veterinary Oxygen

AirSep oxygen generators are suitable for selected veterinary applications where a dependable oxygen supply is required.

Potential uses include veterinary surgeries, treatment facilities and other animal-care environments requiring oxygen.

Ozone Generation

Oxygen concentrators can provide oxygen-enriched feed gas for ozone generators.

AirSep identifies ozone-generation feed gas as one of its established oxygen applications.

Aquaculture & Fish Farming

Oxygen generation is an important consideration in aquaculture, where maintaining appropriate dissolved oxygen levels can support fish health, stocking density and growth.

AirSep specifically identifies fish farming and aquaculture among its oxygen generator applications.

Wastewater Treatment

Oxygen generators can be used to supply oxygen for wastewater and water-treatment processes.

AirSep identifies waste/water treatmentas an application for its oxygen generation systems.

Environmental Remediation

AirSep oxygen generation systems are also used in environmental applications including remediation processes and oxygenation.

Manufacturing & Industrial Processes

Suitable AirSep oxygen generators can be used for industrial applications including:

  • Cutting
  • Brazing
  • Soldering
  • Glass blowing and glass work
  • Thermal oxidation
  • Chemical oxidation
  • Other processes requiring oxygen-enriched gas

AirSep lists these manufacturing applications among the typical uses of its oxygen generator range.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AirSep oxygen concentrator? +

An AirSep oxygen concentrator is an oxygen generation system that uses atmospheric air and PSA technology to produce oxygen-enriched gas.

AirSep manufactures self-contained oxygen generators as well as larger oxygen generation systems for a wide range of applications.

How much oxygen does an AirSep Centrox produce? +

The Centrox has a maximum product flow of approximately 15 LPM, equivalent to 32 SCFH or 0.84 Nm³/hr, with product pressure up to 50 psig / 345 kPa / 3.5 barg.

What oxygen concentration does an AirSep oxygen concentrator produce? +

The exact specification depends on the model.

The current AirSep Centrox specification states up to 95% product concentration. AirSep also describes its standard oxygen generation systems as producing oxygen concentrations of up to approximately 95%, depending on the system.

Does an AirSep oxygen concentrator use oxygen cylinders? +

No. PSA oxygen generators use atmospheric air as the feed gas and produce oxygen on site.

However, oxygen cylinders can still be incorporated into some systems as a
backup supply or, in the case of specialist equipment such as the Centrox-CR,
as part of a cylinder-filling application.
