Medical Oxygen Manufacturing Plant

We are one of the leading engineering companies engaged in manufacturing, fabricating and supplying medical oxygen gas plant. We use the latest cryogenic air separation technology in the making of the plant machinery.

What Is Medical Oxygen Manufacturing Plant

In the wake of COVID-19 pandemic, we have been fabricating medical oxygen manufacturing plant for the meeting the requirements of hospitals. No denying the requirement of medical grade oxygen has increased manifold since the advent of the pandemic. It is specifically designed for providing relief to the patients suffering from low level of oxygen. The plant is able to generate oxygen comprising not less than 99.0 per cent v/v and carbon not more than 300ppm v/v. Further, medical oxygen should not contain carbon monoxide not more than 5ppm v/v and water vapor not more than 67ppm v/v.

How Does Medical Oxygen Manufacturing Plant Work

Working of the air separation plant is based on cryogenic distillation. In the first step, atmospheric air is taken which is then filtered and compressed. Thereafter, the air is cooled to ambient temperature after it has been run through heat exchangers.










In the 2nd step, impurities like water vapor, carbon dioxide and hydrocarbons are eliminated by passing the compressed gas through the molecular sieve. Then, the air is directed into the distillation column of the plant.  In the 3rd step, the feed air is cooled to cryogenic temperatures in the heat exchangers where cold streams come out of the air separation columns. Extremely low temperatures are achieved by refrigeration process.










In the final step, for separation of the processed air into a desired product, a high pressure and low pressure distillation columns are used. The bottom of the low pressure column produces oxygen and nitrogen is generated from the top of the column.
