==Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) oxygen generators==
{{Main|Oxygen concentrator}}
Advances in technology have provided industrial oxygen generator systems for use where air is available and a higher concentration of oxygen is desired. [[Pressure swing adsorption]] (PSA) incorporates a material called [[molecular sieve]] for gas separation. In the case of oxygen generation a zeolite-based sieve forces preferential adsorption for nitrogen.{{Citation needed|date=September 2020}} Clean, dry air is passed through the sieve beds on the oxygen generator, producing an oxygen-enriched gas. [[Nitrogen separation membrane]] equipment is also used.
