The use of PSA technology for onsite oxygen production in aquaculture in highly recommended.
The use of Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology has become increasingly popular for on-site oxygen production in aquaculture. PSA technology is a process that separates gases based on their molecular characteristics, allowing to produce high-purity oxygen from compressed air. This process involves the use of a molecular sieve that adsorbs nitrogen from the air, leaving behind oxygen-rich gas. PSA technology is a cost-effective and reliable method for producing oxygen on-site, making it an attractive option for aquaculture facilities.
On-site oxygen production using PSA technology offers several benefits in aquaculture. Higher levels of dissolved oxygen in water improves organic density and production yields, leading to increased profits for aquaculture operations. Additionally, on-site oxygen production eliminates the need for transportation and storage of liquid oxygen, reducing the risk of accidents and improving overall safety. On-site oxygen production also allows for greater control over dissolved oxygen levels, which is essential for maintaining healthy aquatic environments.
While the cost of PSA ownership may seem high upfront, it is often more cost-effective than purchasing liquid oxygen in the long run. The cost of liquid oxygen can vary depending on location and market conditions. While liquid oxygen may be more readily available, the cost of procurement and transportation can quickly add up, making on-site oxygen production using PSA technology a more cost-effective option. When calculating the total cost of ownership over a period of 10 years the PSA will normally reduce your costs by 70% compared to liquid oxygen supply.?
