Increasing oxygen concentration in ozone generator feed gas improves watert treatment efficiency

Article Abstract:

Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Oxygen Generator provides a continuous, on-site sypply of oxygen-enriched air in a wide range of flow rates. The device increases oxygen concentration in feed gas, resulting in improved water treatment effectiveness and efficiency. PSA oxgen generator also minimizes the undesirable introduction of nitrogen into the water being treated in ozone generators.
