INTRODUCTION TO PCI GASES AND VSA TECHNOLOGY Company Overview: Pacific Consolidated Industries (PCI Gases) is a company based in Riverside, USA, that makes pointof-use air separation equipment that produce either nitrogen or oxygen. This equipment finds its use in markets such as Medical, Industrial, Oil & Gas, and Military. One of our key product lines is the DOCS (Deployable Oxygen Concentration System). This is used to make industrial and medical grade oxygen. Unique VSA Technology: We use a unique Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) technology to generate oxygen that uses significantly less...

advancing air separation technology To produce oxygen from air, PCI uses a proprietary Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) process that eliminates many of the design problems associated with traditional Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) systems. Our innovative VSA system eliminates the need for process valves, feed air compressors, and associated dryers and feed air filtering systems. PCI's robust VSA process extracts maximum sieve and power efficiencies = low cost (both CapX and OpX) high purity oxygen generation. simply state-of-the-art vsa technology by pci gases Feed & Vent Valves Inlet Keeping...

▲.PCI advancing air separation technology ADVANTAGES OF VSA OVER PSA PROCESS TECHNOLOGY PCI's unique Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) technology has several advantages over the more commonly used PSA process: Energy Saving: • Needs no feed air compressor (> 50% energy savings vs. conventional PSA systems) • Load following capability reduces energy consumption even more at reduced flow rates Installation / Operation / Maintenance / Advantages: • Uses an oil-free blower, thus avoiding any oil carryover common with oil-lubricated compressors -great for medical applications • Lower operating...

advancing air separation technology PCI’S LOAD FOLLOWING “SMART CONTROL SYSTEM” PCI's Load Following feature saves energy by slowing down the VSA blower motor during periods of reduced flow. DOCS machines have a process tank which helps smooth out the vacuum swing adsorption process and provides uninterrupted gas flow. During the VSA process, the pressure in the process tank cycles between a maximum value and a minimum value. During periods of high flow demand, the minimum process tank pressure drops. When the demand decreases the minimum process tank pressure rises. DOCS machines are...

advancing air separation technology BUILT-IN REMOTE MONITORING FEATURE The oxygen concentrator control system includes the ability to remotely monitor critical system functions. All start/stop/alarm/monitoring can be performed from any computer once access to the internet has been established. This feature also provides the customer or PCI the ability to log-on and monitor system performance or troubleshoot operational issues. Features: • Dashboard, diagnostic screen, data logging screen • No special software required — just an Internet browser • E-mail notifications • Remote...

VSA ADSORBER VESSEL GUARANTEE DOCS PLATFORM VSA ADSORBER BED GUARANTEE The Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) process used in our Deployable Oxygen Concentrator Systems (DOCS) is based on a totally reversible cycle. Different than systems using Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process technology, the water vapor in the air does not condense out during our process cycle. As a result, the molecular sieve does not degrade over time. In addition, our molecular sieve beds have a unique design that mechanically holds the sieve media in place, thus eliminating any material attrition. Therefore, under...

advancing air separation technology VSA VERSUS PSA Feed Process Tank Keeping Track Total Cost of Ownership and Energy Efficiency Drinking water requires the precise application of the oxygen molecule in several parts of a water treatment process train. On-site oxygen generators can be used for odor control applications and to generate ozone for disinfection or remediation. Oxygen also plays a role in wastewater treatment for aerobic digestion and in aquaculture where the demand for dissolved oxygen in a body of water rises as the number of aquatic species in the water increases. In this...

Energy Measurements and Analysis As part of PCI’s energy study for Laguna Beach, a power meter was attached to the power supply for the compressor on the PSA system located at one of the city’s lift stations. Figure 2 shows the power consumption data recorded and indicates the average power demand of 19.2 kW. Another 1.1 kW of demand that was not measured on this power line can be attributed to the dryer and controls circuit, for a total average power demand for this PSA of 20.3 kW. Conversely, the competing VSA system installed at the second lift station has a total average power demand of...

HEALTH & WELLNESS OVERVIEW OF APPLICATIONS To produce oxygen from air, PCI uses a proprietary Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) process that maximizes sieve and power efficiencies. Such efficiencies translate into low operating costs for oxygen generation. Deploy and generate oxygen at the point-of-need, on-site, without resupply logistics Civilian Hospitals PCI offers a complete product line that fits your need, be it in a small rural hospital or a 500+ bed large hospital, whether it needs to be mobile or stationary. Our oxygen generators are built to be light weight, compact, and basically...
