Oxygen selective permeation [2, 3 is when air permeation begins to occur,
Polarization of the poorly permeable gas immediately occurs on the membrane surface, which has the property of inhibiting the separation of oxygen from the air. To prevent this, it is necessary to constantly feed new air to the membrane surface. Therefore, by sucking and circulating air through the oxygen selectively permeable membrane 2.3 using the K11j pumps 4 and 5 as in the present invention, only the necessary flow rate can be passed, which is excellent from the viewpoint of energy saving. There is.

In the pipe line 8, an oxygen-enriched air extraction pipe 10 is connected to the downstream side of the suction pump 4. This oxygen-enriched air extraction pipe 10 is equipped with an on-off valve 11. Therefore, by opening the on-off valve 11, the air enriched with oxygen through the selective oxygen permeation Fs2 can be taken out as desired.
