In the present world, there are numerous industrial processes that stand in the need of using oxygen for different purposes. Earlier, these industries used oxygen tanks or liquid oxygen or LOX whenever they required mass volume storage. But now, as the technology has advanced drastically over the period of the past decade, generating oxygen via oxygen generators have become a viable alternative to liquid oxygen storage.
When we discuss oxygen generators, they have massive benefits, unlike liquid oxygen supply systems. The most important and biggest of all benefits is the safety aspect for the user. O2 generators generate the gas at a safe pressure. Liquified O2 is exceedingly explosive and therefore require extra care and legal requirements over oxygen in the gaseous state.
Oxygen supplied in liquid form requires a lot of space and liquid oxygen supply systems must be set up in a manner that they are accessible to the tankers whenever they need a refill. Liquid oxygen cannot be stored for a longer period of time because around 20% of the oxygen stored is lost due to evaporation. That means it needs refilling at uniform intervals. In oxygen generator oxygen gas is produced only when it is required and it stores enough of gaseous oxygen that is required for your process& there is no issue of evaporation.
For LOX, a user has to depend on the vendor for the delivery but when you are using an oxygen generator it puts your worries at an end with the variation in the suppliers’ price of liquid oxygen. The only cost you have to pay after installing the oxygen generators is the electricity usage cost, very little maintenance cost and the amount associated with running an air compressor.
Unlike the LOX storage tank that bleed of 1 to 4% of volume, PSA oxygen generator’s produced oxygen can be used till the last moment. There’s no bleed off in oxygen generators which provides cost saving also.
We, at MVS Engineering Pvt. Ltd., provide a comprehensive range of high-quality oxygen generators that are economical, reliable, and a safe way for any industry to produce their own oxygen gas. For any assistance or quotes, feel free to contact us.
