OXYGEN GENERATION AND CYLINDER FILLING

Air is compressed by the Feed Air Compressor, passed
through an Air Dryer and stored in the Air Storage Tank.
Regulated air is then fed into the PSA Oxygen Generator
where oxygen is generated (typically 92% to 95% O2, or high
purity oxygen to 99.5% O2) and stored. From the Oxygen

Storage Tank regulated oxygen is fed into the RIX High
Pressure Oxygen Compressor where the oxygen is boosted
to tank pressure and fed to the Manifold and into the High
Pressure Oxygen Cylinders. The RIX Oxygen Compressor

that is needed is determined by the capacity of the PSA
Oxygen Generator based on the number of high pressure
oxygen cylinders to be filled each day.

PRODUCION Y ENVASADO DE OXIGENO

Mediante un compresor, se comprime el aire, luego se seca
y se almacena en un tanque para que luego de ser regulado
es llevado al generador de oxígeno PSA donde se produce el
oxígeno tipico (92% a 95%) o de alta pureza (99.5%) y luego
almacenado en un tanque a baja presion y El Oxígeno regu­lado es llevado a un compresor de oxígeno RIX de alta pre­sion y a traves de un manifold se llenan los cilindros a alta
presion (2500 psi). La capacidad del compresor de oxígeno
RIX sera determinada por la capacidad productiva del gene­rador de oxígeno PSA, y basandose en el requerimiento
diario de cilindros de oxígeno.
