Oxygen Generation Plant

Relying solely on external suppliers for medical oxygen can pose logistical challenges and potential supply disruptions. Our on-site Oxygen Generation Plant provides several key advantages:

• Uninterrupted Supply: The plant guarantees a constant and reliable source of medical-grade oxygen, independent of external factors.
• Enhanced Safety: Eliminating dependence on external suppliers minimizes the risk of delays or interruptions in oxygen supply, crucial for critical care situations.
• Quality Control: Our on-site plant ensures strict adherence to stringent medical oxygen purity standards, guaranteeing patient safety.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Generating oxygen on-site can offer long-term cost savings compared to relying solely on external suppliers.

How Does the Oxygen Generation Plant Work?

The most common technology utilized in hospital oxygen generation plants is Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA). Here’s a simplified explanation:

• Air Intake: Ambient air, consisting primarily of nitrogen (78%) and oxygen (21%), enters the plant.
• Compression: Powerful air compressors pressurize the incoming air.
• Filtration: Multi-stage filtration removes impurities and moisture from the compressed air.
• Molecular Sieve Beds: The compressed air is passed through vessels containing zeolite, a molecular sieve material. Zeolite has a strong affinity for nitrogen, allowing oxygen to pass through more readily.
• Product Collection: The purified oxygen gas, now exceeding 95% concentration, is collected for distribution throughout the hospital. The nitrogen gas is released and can be vented or potentially reused in other hospital applications.

Benefits of Meridian Hospital’s Oxygen Generation Plant:

• Patient Safety: Guaranteed access to high-quality medical oxygen for all patients, regardless of external supply fluctuations.
• Improved Efficiency: Streamlined oxygen supply system within the hospital, minimizing delays and logistical complexities.
• Cost-Effectiveness: Long-term cost benefits compared to dependence on external suppliers.
• Environmental Sustainability: Reduced reliance on transportation and storage of oxygen cylinders contributes to a more eco-friendly approach.
