Abstract: One of the oxygen generators is a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) machine which is intended as a central oxygen-producing source on a smaller scale by a concentrator machine. Oxygen from the PSA device will be flowed to the patient through the terminal on the patient’s bed or flowed to an oxygen cylinder as a supply or backup. Given the importance of the Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) machine for oxygen therapy, therefore to help purify the oxygen in the machine, zeolite assistance is needed. The methodology used in this study is an experimental method, namely by testing the air flow rate on the level of oxygen purity produced by the PSA device. By doing this research, it is expected to know the effect of air flow rate on the level of oxygen purity produced by the PSA device. With this research, it is also possible to know the optimal air flow rate to be able to produce a high level of oxygen purity. The results obtained from this study are the effect of the flow rate on the purity of oxygen produced by the PSA device, that is, if the flow rate is greater, the purity of oxygen obtained will be smaller. This is because the flow rate that is too large will cause the zeolite to decrease its ability to absorb gas faster because too much gas enters the tube so that too many molecules stick to the pores of the zeolite. The optimal flow rate to produce high oxygen purity for the PSA device used in this study is 20L/min for both types of adsorbents, resulting in an oxygen purity of 82% using Zeolite 13X. Meanwhile, with a mixture of Zeolite 13X and Zeolite Alam Bayah obtained a maximum purity of 73% with the same flow rate.
