Onsite gas generation allows a variety of industries to produce their own oxygen anytime they need without relying on third-party suppliers for oxygen gas supply. Our oxygen generation offers a wealth of advantages ranging from cost savings to continuous availability. Oxygen, particularly when produced through onsite oxygen generation, plays an important role in many industries and operations including steel, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, ozone production, wastewater treatment, fish farming, glassworks.
Instead of depending on bought or leased oxygen, onsite oxygen generators make use of PSA (Pressure Swing Absorption), a simple, reliable, cost-efficient technology that isolates oxygen from other molecules and allows for a continuous flow of oxygen at a chosen level of purity.
Benefits of oxygen generation
Much lower cost per unit of oxygen
You will have the ability to set the exact purity your application requires instead of overpaying for overspecified oxygen
Safety first
Thanks to the OGP range there is no need to move around pressurized cylinders.
Smaller footprint
Eliminating oxygen transport and delivery reduces your environmental footprint.
Industries and applications
Oxygen Applications
Oxygen is vital to processes in both industrial and medical worlds. Discover for which applications Atlas Copco’s oxygen generators are ideal for.
Aqua
Culture
Aquaculture air blower technologies and aquaculture oxygen systems for all aeration and pneumatic conveying applications within the aquaculture industry.
Advantages of onsite oxygen generation
- Purity and pressure can be adjusted at any time
- Production won’t be affected by delayed deliveries
- A reduced carbon footprint, since delivery is not required
- A smaller footprint compared to space requirements of tanks and cylinders
- Easy integration into existing compressed air systems
- Better employee safety

Oxygen (O2) is used across a wide range of industries, from aquaculture to bioenergy, metallurgy, and pharmaceutical production. In the past, companies could only get oxygen from vendors. Now, however, there is a much better option for most of them: The on-site generation of oxygen. It allows professional users of oxygen users to become producers.

6 benefits of on-site gas generation
A dependable source of industrial gas is critical in many industries. Atlas Copco On-site gas generators are a reliable source of nitrogen and oxygen. On-site gas generation allows you to produce your own nitrogen or oxygen anytime you need. You can stop relying on third-party suppliers for your nitrogen or oxygen gas supply, make your own with one of our gas generators. Our on-site production of gas offers a wealth of advantages ranging from cost savings to continuous availability.
How an O2 generator works: Pressure Swing Adsorption
Atlas Copco oxygen generators use pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology. The generator consists of two separate pressure vessels filled with zeolite molecular sieve (ZMS) material that separates the oxygen from the incoming air. At any time, one of these vessels produces oxygen while the other is “regenerating” its saturated ZMS.
