PSA Technology

Learn how Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) works, what’s needed to produce gas on-site, and the key benefits this efficient and reliable technology offers

PSA Technology

All Oreco PSA nitrogen and oxygen generators are based on the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology, which we have chosen over other technologies due to its advantages in terms of reliability, system lifetime, purity, and cost-effectiveness.

The Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process is the heart of the system as this is where the nitrogen is separated from conventional air and concentrated. The PSA method makes use of parallel separation units (vessels) filled with granular Carbon Molecular Sieves (CMS) in the form of pellets.
The pellets retain oxygen and allow nitrogen to pass. When due to saturation no more oxygen can be retained in the pellets, the process switches (swings) into the second vessel and releases the pressure in the first line, thereby allowing the oxygen to escape. The cycle is constantly repeated during operation.

Why PSA?

Higher Efficiency: PSA systems use less compressed air than membrane solutions—saving energy while delivering the same nitrogen output.

Higher Purity: Achieve nitrogen purity up to 99.999%—without compromising on energy efficiency

Flexible & Scalable: Easily adjust nitrogen purity and expand capacity as your needs grow—one system that adapts to your operations

Low Operating Costs: With no moving parts in the PSA itself and minimal wear on process valves, maintenance is low—and so are your operating expenses.

Long-Lasting & Robust: CMS in PSA systems lasts longer than membranes and handles impurities in inlet air far better—reducing replacement costs and downtime

Smart Control & Monitoring: PSA systems offer advanced control and real- time monitoring—ensuring reliable performance and full process transparency
