Are VSA Oxygen Generators suitable for aquaculture?

Yes. Air Products range of VSA oxygen generators have been designed specifically to meet the needs of the aquaculture industry and deliver affordable, reliable oxygen. Air Products VSA generators are supplied in a single module (feed/vacuum blower, automatic valves, and a PLC control system). In the larger generators, a single adsorber vessel is free standing, as is the oxygen buffer tank, whereas in smaller units all this is integrated within the module. Various options are available to suit all power requirements. The generator can be skid or trailer mounted. For those applications where product compression is required, an oxygen booster compressor is supplied as a stand-alone skid. Each generator is packaged to simplify the generators installation such that it is literally "plug and play".
