Medical Oxygen Concentrators
UOP’s MOLSIV adsorbents are an essential part of medical oxygen concentrator units. Our
molecular sieve products were first commercialized more than 20 years ago to meet the growing need
for a safe, cost-effective supply of oxygen to patients requiring home oxygen therapy.
"Medox" machines pass compressed air through packed beds of UOP’s
MOLSIV adsorbent, which adsorb nitrogen from the air stream while allowing the
concentrated oxygen to pass through for delivery to the patient. In doing so,
these medox units conveniently generate 3 to 6 liters per minute of 90%+ purity
oxygen at the point of use.
Since developing the first commercially viable adsorbent for this application,
UOP has worked continually to meet industry needs for increased product performance,
consistency, and cost effectiveness. These cumulative improvements are embodied
in our current products, including OXYSIV 5, OXYSIV 5 XP, OXYSIV 7 and OXYSIV MDX. All
have been instrumental in reducing the amount of adsorbent required for needed
oxygen production by over 60%.
