On-site oxygen generation: The core solution for cost optimization

Sep 29, 2025

On-site oxygen generation technology (PSA/VPSA) fundamentally addresses the cost pain point of bottled oxygen by changing the way oxygen is obtained:

 

Significantly reduce the unit oxygen cost

Zero raw material cost: Oxygen is directly separated from the air, which is a free and abundant raw material.

 

The main operating cost is electricity: the energy consumption of equipment operation is the main cost, supplemented by predictable annual maintenance expenses.

 

Empirical data: According to actual cases (such as the application in a certain traditional Chinese medicine hospital), after switching to on-site oxygen production, the comprehensive cost of oxygen generally decreased by more than 51%. If the annual expenditure on bottled oxygen is 150,000 US dollars, the annual operating cost of on-site oxygen production can be reduced to below 50,000 US dollars.

 

Cost transparency and controllability: The unit oxygen cost is mainly calculated based on electricity consumption, which is clear and stable.

 

Eliminate associated fees

 

  • No gas cylinder rental fee or deposit is required.
  • Completely eliminate the logistics and transportation costs that rely on external suppliers.

 

Enhance operational efficiency

 

  • Eliminate the human and time consumption in ordering, receiving and managing gas cylinders.
  • Provide a continuous and stable oxygen flow to prevent production or treatment interruptions caused by bottle changes.
  • Reduce leakage and residual waste during the transportation, storage and use of gases.

 

Investment return Analysis: From Cost Center to Benefit Source

 

The purchase of on-site oxygen generation equipment is an investment with clear financial benefits:

  • Fast return on investment (ROI) : In typical application scenarios, on-site oxygen generation systems usually recover their equipment investment within 6 to 12 months solely by relying on the saved operating costs (compared to the original bottled oxygen cost). Calculation example: The annual cost of bottled oxygen is 60,000 US dollars, and the annual operating cost of on-site oxygen production is 30,000 US dollars, saving 30,000 US dollars annually. The equipment investment is 30,000 US dollars and it takes about 13 months to recoup the investment.
  • Long-term economic benefits: After the equipment investment is recovered, throughout its service life (typically 10 to 15 years), users will continue to enjoy a unit cost far lower than that of bottled oxygen. The saved funds can be used for the development of other businesses or to increase profits.
  • Unleash hidden value: Reduce management burden, avoid downtime losses, and lower waste. The comprehensive benefits brought about exceed the direct savings in oxygen costs
