VSA Vacuum Swing Adsorption Unit

On-demand oxygen generation using advanced adsorption technology. Our compact, fully-packaged VSA skids deliver up to 60 tons per day of oxygen.

Industries need reliable on-demand oxygen. Air Liquide E&T's Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) units offer a compact, skid-mounted solution for safe, automated, and cost-effective oxygen generation.

Highly selective separation

Drawing on Air Liquide's long experience in oxygen production, our Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) oxygen generation unit uses the process of air separation by adsorption.

  • Zeolite adsorbents: This process utilizes specific zeolite adsorbents for the selective adsorption of nitrogen over oxygen and argon.
  • Optimal pressure: It is capable of delivering oxygen at pressures up to 40 barg with internal oxygen compression.

Quick integration and setup

Built and delivered as a fully-packaged and pre-tested skid, our VSA units can be directly incorporated into industrial facilities. This approach minimizes the time required for installation and start-up, and optimizes your overall implementation schedule. Furthermore, the VSA system is extremely simple to operate, as it is designed to run automatically and completely unattended.

A proven industrial solution

With more than 100 units in operation worldwide, Air Liquide Engineering & Construction provides a deeply proven oxygen generation solution. Our Standard Plants minimize your construction and start-up costs, and are perfectly made for projects requiring a short time to production.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What industries benefit from VSA technology?

Our VSA units are typically installed in plants across the steel, glass, pulp and paper, wastewater treatment, and mining industries.

What is the capacity of a VSA unit?

The VSA unit produces up to 60 tons per day of gaseous oxygen, achieving purities ranging from 90% to 93%.

Does the system require continuous manual monitoring?

No. The VSA system features automatic start, stop, and load adaptation, which allows the system to run safely and reliably unattended.
