A Glasgow-based company has launched an oxygen gas generator which it says would eliminate the need for bulk gas deliveries to fish farms.

The i-Flow O2 is the first oxygen generator to be made by Peak Gas Generation, a global leader in on-site generation of nitrogen, hydrogen and zero air systems for manufacturing and processing industries.

Peak said in a press release that the machine offers a modular and expandable gas generator system, designed to deliver an on-demand supply of oxygen gas with future-proof capacity to increase oxygen supply should operations grow. It utilises a synthetic zeolite molecular sieve, producing high quality industrial grade oxygen gas, with up to 95% purity & a maximum flow rate of 576 L/min.

The i-Flow O2 is Peak's first oxygen generator.

‘Cost-effective solution’

The company said industries where oxygen is required in remote locations, such as fish farming, are sectors which could improve their gas supply with such a dependable source of oxygen gas, eliminating the challenges and hassles of bulk gas deliveries. Sewage and waste water treatment, glass blowing, as well as welding, cutting and brazing are amongst some of the other sectors requiring high quality oxygen, that i-Flow O2 can serve.

Michelle Goldie, head of product management, said: “We’re delighted to be able to offer an efficient and reliable oxygen supply to new industry sectors. With i-Flow O2, we have built upon our existing gas generation technology to provide a truly cost-effective solution for customers requiring high purity industrial oxygen supply.

“i-Flow O2 offers flexibility for additional capacity should customer demand increase over time. Facilities do not only get to meet their current needs but can also upgrade their infrastructure in a controlled and predictable way that is more cost-effective than relying on the volatile prices of bulk gas delivery.”
