Industrial & Mining

Oxygen and nitrogen are commonly used in the mining industry for a range of applications, including ventilation, gasification, and metal smelting. Onsite generation of these gases using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology has become an increasingly popular method due to its efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
PSA works by separating oxygen and nitrogen from the air using a molecular sieve and then storing the separated gases in separate tanks. The generated oxygen can be used to support combustion in furnaces, while nitrogen can be used to inert the atmosphere in underground mines to reduce the risk of explosions.


By generating these gases onsite, mining companies can reduce their reliance on external gas suppliers and can control the quality and purity of the gases produced. Overall, the use of oxygen and nitrogen generated through PSA technology has become an essential tool for improving safety and productivity in the mining industry. O2Africa’s PSA generators can be designed to produce the volumes and purities of Oxygen & Nitrogen required at these sites.
