1000Nm³/h 93% Purity VPSA Oxygen Generator Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption Oxygen System for Steel Smelting

VPSA Oxygen Generator (Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption Oxygen Systems) is a large-scale industrial oxygen supply equipment based on Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption (VPSA) technology. It rapidly produces high-purity oxygen by selectively adsorbing nitrogen from air through lithium-based molecular sieves.

It boasts core advantages such as fast start-up (reaches the standard within 20-30 minutes), stable continuous operation, low energy consumption, and convenient maintenance. Without the need for chemical reagents or complex refrigeration systems, it can adapt to the harsh requirements of high-temperature, high-load industrial scenarios such as steel smelting.

As a core type of Industrial Oxygen Generator, the modular design of the VPSA Oxygen Generator supports on-demand capacity expansion. Its large flow output of 1000Nm³/h fully matches the continuous oxygen supply needs of large steel plants, and the 93% purity is the golden standard for oxygen-enriched combustion in steel smelting, which can not only improve combustion efficiency but also control production costs.

In the steel smelting process, the oxidation reactions and oxygen-enriched combustion in converters and blast furnaces require continuous and large-flow oxygen supply. The purity and stability of oxygen directly affect smelting efficiency, molten steel quality, and energy consumption costs. Traditional cryogenic oxygen generators occupy a large area, have a long start-up time (several hours to dozens of hours), and are complex to maintain. However, the VPSA Oxygen Generator with 1000Nm³/h flow and 93% purity perfectly addresses these pain points.

A purity of 93% is the optimal choice for steel smelting: a purity lower than 90% will lead to insufficient combustion, increasing energy consumption and pollutant emissions; a purity higher than 95% will significantly increase equipment costs, with diminishing marginal effects on improving smelting efficiency. By precisely controlling the adsorption-desorption cycle, the VPSA Oxygen Generator stably outputs oxygen with 93%±2% purity, fully meeting the oxygen-enriched blowing needs of converter steelmaking. It can increase molten steel output by 15-20% and reduce the energy consumption per ton of steel by 8-12%.

As the flagship model of VPSA oxygen generator, the equipment's 1000Nm³/h flow fully matches the oxygen supply needs of a single converter in large steel plants. If multiple furnaces operate simultaneously, the capacity can be expanded to 2000-5000Nm³/h through modular combination. Its low energy consumption performance of 0.4kWh/Nm³ saves more than 30% of electricity costs compared with traditional cryogenic oxygen generators. Calculated based on 8000 hours of annual operation, it can save millions of yuan in electricity costs each year, significantly reducing PSA oxygen plant cost.

For procurement teams of steel enterprises, selecting a VPSA Oxygen Generator needs to focus on three core dimensions: parameter matching, supplier strength, and after-sales support. In terms of parameters, it is necessary to confirm whether the flow rate matches the production capacity of the converter/blast furnace (1000Nm³/h is suitable for 100-ton converters), whether the energy consumption is lower than 0.45kWh/Nm³, and whether the purity is stably around 93%. In terms of suppliers, priority should be given to enterprises with PSA oxygen plant manufacturer qualifications and cooperative cases with large steel plants, ensuring that the equipment has passed ISO9001 quality management system certification and industrial product production licenses.

After-sales support is also crucial. The shutdown loss of steel smelting equipment is huge, so it is necessary to select suppliers that can provide 24-hour on-site service and timely supply of spare parts (sufficient inventory of vulnerable parts such as molecular sieves and valves). In addition, suppliers can be required to provide customized solutions, such as optimizing the equipment footprint according to the workshop layout and adjusting energy consumption parameters according to the power grid load, to further improve the equipment's adaptability and economy.

With the advantages of large flow, low energy consumption, and high stability, the VPSA Oxygen Generator has become the mainstream oxygen supply equipment in the steel smelting industry. The configuration of 1000Nm³/h flow and 93% purity accurately matches the production needs of large steel plants. Its Vacuum Pressure Swing Adsorption Oxygen Systems technology can not only improve smelting efficiency and molten steel quality but also significantly reduce operating costs, making it a key equipment for steel enterprises to achieve energy conservation, consumption reduction, quality improvement, and efficiency enhancement.
