Abstract

A continuous flow of oxygen is provided from units (17, 18, 19) containing molecular sieves, into which air is passed. The number of units in operation at any time is varied according to the overall rate of utilisation of oxygen, so that the purity of the oxygen produced is not significantly affected by changes in this rate.
