Products classified under HTS 8421.39.01.40

PSA Oxygen Concentrator Generator

This pressure swing adsorption (PSA) system uses molecular sieves to separate oxygen from ambient air by selectively adsorbing nitrogen, producing high-purity oxygen for medical or industrial use. It falls under HTS 8421.39.0140 as gas separation equipment for purifying and isolating oxygen from air.

Membrane Nitrogen Generator Module

Hollow fiber membrane modules separate nitrogen from air by allowing oxygen and other gases to permeate through semi-permeable membranes under pressure. Classified under HTS 8421.39.0140 for its specialized gas separation function in industrial inert gas supply.

Carbon Molecular Sieve Nitrogen PSA System

This PSA unit employs carbon molecular sieves with precise pore sizes to kinetically separate nitrogen from oxygen in compressed air, yielding high-purity N2 for food packaging and electronics. HTS 8421.39.0140 covers this dedicated gas separation machinery.

Industrial Helium Recovery PSA Unit

Pressure swing adsorption system recovers and purifies helium from natural gas streams or mixed gas exhaust by preferentially adsorbing impurities. Falls under HTS 8421.39.0140 as specialized gas separation equipment for rare gas recovery.
