What Factors Affect the Reliability of VPSA Oxygen Plant?

The reliability of VPSA oxygen production plant is mainly reflected by factors such as the failure rate of matching components, the rationality of the process design and the maintenance during downstream usage.

First of all, high-efficiency & durable adsorbent and reasonable process design. The core of VPSA technology is the adsorption efficiency and performance of the adsorbent. Superior adsorbent will have a high separation coefficient, achieving effective gas separation easily. At the same time, outstanding working durability is also indispensable. Generally, service life for more than 10 years could be considered long. In addition, reasonable design of process and complete plant is closely connected with the matching with downstream oxygen application. Reasonable internal process design of the system will ensure low energy consumption and steady operation. The system’s matching with the downstream equipment will also affect its operation time and performance.

Secondly, whether the supporting components like program-controlled valves and power equipment are produced by reliable manufacturers. If the rotary equipment or valves are produced by under-performing manufacturers in order to lower the cost, frequent malfunctions will be caused and the stability of the whole plant will be affected.

Finally, rich engineering experience can guarantee good operating conditions and high operating rates in different industries, atmospheric and climatic circumstances.

In summary, the reliability of VPSA oxygen production plant requires a number of factors such as excellent supporting components, reasonable processes and rich engineering experience.
