Product Introduction
The Aluminum Modular Oxygen Generator is a compact industrial oxygen generation system that uses Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) technology to separate oxygen from compressed air. Designed with aluminum alloy adsorption modules, the TYMKO-1400 series provides on-site oxygen production with a rated oxygen purity of 93% ± 3% and output capacities ranging from 1.9 to 37.1 Nm³/h.
Unlike oxygen supply methods that rely entirely on delivered gas cylinders or liquid oxygen, an on-site PSA oxygen generator produces oxygen from compressed air at the point of use. This helps industrial users establish a continuous oxygen supply system suited to their actual gas consumption requirements.
The modular design integrates adsorption components, process pipelines and automatic controls into a compact equipment arrangement. Different models are available to accommodate different oxygen flow requirements, installation spaces and process configurations.
Hongbo provides multiple configurations of the TYMKO-1400 Aluminum Modular Oxygen Generator series for industrial applications requiring a practical on-site oxygen supply solution.
Product Features and Advantages
Compact Aluminum Alloy Modular Design
The TYMKO-1400 series uses aluminum alloy adsorption modules to create a compact equipment structure. Compared with conventional equipment arrangements using multiple separate adsorption vessels, the modular configuration helps reduce installation space and simplifies equipment layout.
The compact footprint is particularly useful for facilities with limited equipment room space or projects that need to integrate an oxygen generator into an existing production system.
On-Site Oxygen Generation
The system uses ambient air as its raw material and compressed air as its process gas. Oxygen is generated on-site through PSA separation, reducing dependence on external oxygen deliveries for applications that are compatible with the specified oxygen purity and flow rate.
Actual operating costs depend on compressed-air consumption, electricity use, operating hours and local utility prices.
Stable Oxygen Output
The generator uses zeolite molecular sieve adsorbent and a cyclic adsorption process to enrich oxygen from compressed air. Automatic switching between adsorption and regeneration stages supports continuous oxygen production.
The TYMKO-1400 series is designed for an oxygen purity of 93% ± 3%. Actual performance depends on the operating conditions and the specified model.
Multiple Capacity Options
The series includes models with oxygen outputs from 1.9 Nm³/h to 37.1 Nm³/h. This range allows users to select equipment according to required oxygen flow rather than choosing an unnecessarily large system.
The available models also differ in air consumption, connection sizes, dimensions and equipment weight.
Automatic Operation and Process Monitoring
The oxygen generation system can incorporate a PLC control cabinet, pneumatic valves, pressure gauges, oxygen analysis and flow measurement, depending on the supplied configuration.
These components support process control and operating-condition monitoring. The final instrumentation and control functions should be confirmed against the specific project configuration.
Flexible System Integration
The modular oxygen generator can be integrated with an air compressor, compressed-air treatment equipment, an air storage tank, an oxygen storage tank and downstream oxygen monitoring equipment.
The overall system can be configured according to the customer's required oxygen output, gas pressure, installation conditions and process requirements.
Working Principle of the Aluminum Modular Oxygen Generator
The Aluminum Modular Oxygen Generator operates on the principle of Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA). It uses zeolite molecular sieve as the adsorbent to selectively adsorb nitrogen from compressed air, allowing oxygen to be enriched in the product gas.
The operating process consists of the following stages.
Stage 1: Compressed Air Preparation
Ambient air is compressed and passed through suitable air treatment equipment to remove moisture, oil aerosols and particulate contaminants.
Proper pretreatment helps protect the molecular sieve and adsorption components and supports stable operation.
Stage 2: Nitrogen Adsorption
The treated compressed air enters the adsorption modules. Under operating pressure, the zeolite molecular sieve preferentially adsorbs nitrogen, while oxygen-enriched gas passes through the adsorption system.
Stage 3: Oxygen Collection
The oxygen-enriched gas is collected and delivered to the downstream oxygen storage or supply system. An oxygen analyzer can be used to monitor product-gas purity.
Stage 4: Adsorbent Regeneration
As nitrogen accumulates on the molecular sieve, the adsorption process reaches its operating limit. The system reduces the pressure in the relevant adsorption module, allowing the adsorbed nitrogen to be released.
Stage 5: Cyclic Operation
The adsorption and regeneration stages repeat automatically according to the equipment's control sequence. This cyclic process enables the generator to provide a continuing supply of oxygen.
The actual PSA cycle, valve arrangement and control sequence depend on the equipment design.
System Configuration and Process Flow
A complete oxygen generation system generally includes the following equipment:
Air compressor
Air moisture separator or moisture tank
Primary air filter
Refrigerated air dryer
Precision filtration stages
Compressed-air storage tank
TYMKO-1400 Aluminum Modular Oxygen Generator
Oxygen storage tank
Oxygen analyzer
Oxygen flow meter
Downstream oxygen supply pipeline
Typical process flow:
Air Compressor → Air Moisture Separator → Primary Filter → Refrigerated Dryer → Precision Filters → Air Storage Tank → Aluminum Modular Oxygen Generator → Oxygen Storage Tank → Oxygen Analyzer → Flow Meter → Oxygen Consumption Point
The exact filtration stages and auxiliary equipment should be selected according to the compressor specifications, compressed-air quality requirements and operating environment. The process flow above is a typical system arrangement rather than a fixed configuration for every project.

Compressed Air Requirements
The quality and pressure of compressed air are important factors in the performance and service life of a PSA oxygen generator.
According to the product documentation, the compressed air supplied to the main unit should meet the following requirements.
Item | Requirement |
|---|---|
Compressed-air pressure | 0.6–0.7 MPa |
Residual oil content | ≤ 0.001 ppm |
Mechanical impurities | ≤ 0.1 μm |
Pressure dew point | ≤ 8°C |
Appropriate filtration and drying equipment should be installed upstream of the oxygen generator to help meet these requirements.
The air compressor should also be selected according to the model's air consumption, required operating pressure and the pressure losses of the entire treatment system. The values in the table above are the specified inlet requirements, not a substitute for calculating the complete compressed-air system.
Applications of the Aluminum Modular Oxygen Generator
The TYMKO-1400 series can be considered for industrial processes requiring an on-site supply of oxygen at approximately 93% purity. Application suitability depends on the process's required oxygen purity, pressure, flow rate and gas quality.
Ozone Generation
Oxygen can serve as the feed gas for ozone generators used in water treatment, wastewater treatment and other oxidation processes. The required oxygen purity and flow rate should be matched to the ozone generator.
Aquaculture
Oxygen-enriched gas can be supplied to suitable aquaculture oxygenation systems to support dissolved-oxygen management in fish and shrimp farming operations.
Industrial Wastewater Treatment
Oxygen can be used in compatible oxidation and biological treatment processes where additional oxygen supply is required. System selection depends on the process design and oxygen transfer requirements.
Glass and Metallurgical Processes
Some industrial combustion processes use oxygen enrichment to improve combustion conditions. The suitability of 93% oxygen depends on the furnace design, fuel system and process requirements.
Other Industrial Oxygen Applications
The generator may also be evaluated for other industrial processes that can operate with oxygen at the specified purity and output. Applications requiring high-purity oxygen or regulated medical oxygen need separate technical assessment and should not be assumed suitable for this standard configuration.
How to Select the Right Modular Oxygen Generator
Choosing an oxygen generator involves more than comparing nominal output capacities. The equipment should be selected according to the actual operating conditions of the application.
Determine Oxygen Demand
Calculate the average and peak oxygen consumption of the production process. Consider continuous operation, intermittent demand and any planned capacity expansion.
Confirm Oxygen Purity
The TYMKO-1400 series is designed for 93% ± 3% oxygen purity. If the process requires a higher purity, confirm whether an alternative system or additional purification equipment is necessary.
Check Compressed-Air Capacity
Match the air compressor and air treatment equipment to the model's specified air consumption and inlet pressure. Insufficient compressed-air supply can prevent the generator from achieving the required output.
Evaluate Installation Space
Compare the model's external dimensions, weight and process-tank arrangement with the available installation area. The three-row and four-row configurations offer different equipment layouts.
Plan the Complete Oxygen Supply System
Consider the oxygen storage tank, outlet pipeline, pressure requirements, monitoring instruments and downstream equipment as part of the complete system design.
