230 LPM with Shelter at 5RR Karzok, Leh Ladakh — Neometrix Adsorption Medical Oxygen, 230 LPM PSA plant.

Amid the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, planning the management of oxygen generation with the right equipment at the right time is vital to a hospital or alternate medical care application. To avoid dependency on oxygen cylinders from outside, hospitals all across the globe look for onsite oxygen generation and have already implemented the change to produce their own medical oxygen onsite.

Medical oxygen generators produce gaseous oxygen from compressed air on site and offer a cost-effective, reliable and safe alternative to traditional oxygen gas supplies such as cylinders or cryogenic liquid.

Traditionally, oxygen in the medical field has been used from cylinders or from liquid tanks, and the biggest problem with gases such as oxygen is transportation. Since 1970, PSA oxygen generators have come into use for medical oxygen gas, greatly reducing capital cost and offering mobility for the requirements of hospitals and the health care sector.

Because oxygen has traditionally been delivered from cryogenic sources, medical oxygen was specified at greater than 99% purity. Extensive clinical trials concluded that 93 ± 3% oxygen from a PSA oxygen generator has no physiological effect on patients, so oxygen generated by PSA generators is now acceptable for use and is recognised and permitted by the USA, European and Indian Pharmacopeia.
