Pressure Swing Adsorption Solutions
Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) is a widely used technology for separating gases from a mixture of gases under pressure according to the species’ molecular characteristics and affinity for an adsorbent material. Under high pressure, gases tend to be attracted to solid surfaces, or adsorbed.
To produce oxygen and/or nitrogen on site, it involves the separation of air, a free raw material, into these separate gases
