OXYGEN CONDURUM.
Medical oxygen purity is over 99%., the availability of oxygen in atmospheric air is just 21%. The purity & requirement of oxygen is according to personal requirements. For saturation & deep sea diving depends on the depth & time a diving is 1/9

is to be undertaken divers will not be allowed to be under sea water during diving for more than 4 hours to avoid reverse osmosis of saline water getting into blood stream.There is an ISI standards are used for testing the oxygen manufactured & the manufacturing process is 2/9
different for laboratory purposes & commercial use both for industry & medical requirements. Basic Testing standards as per IS is the same.There are additional requirements to be met depending on final use as per ISO.
1.Oxygen for medical use produced by the same fractional 3/9
1.Oxygen for medical use produced by the same fractional 3/9
distillation of air.
2. The oxygen for medical purposes need to be pressure controlled & minor modifications are to be done, but this is done mostly in hospital.
3. Production capacity of oxygen, India is self sufficient, but what is lacking is distribution network across 4/9

3. Production capacity of oxygen, India is self sufficient, but what is lacking is distribution network across 4/9
the country in a short span of time.
4. Bulk of oxygen plants are located in Orissa.
5. Any mettalurgical & smelting industry produces oxygen in huge quantities for captive consumption for furnace smelting apart from selling to other dealers.5/9

6.Current requirements of oxygen has jumped to 5000 MTPD for hospitals as against 700 during normal times which shot up to 2000 MTPD during first wave, a jump of 2.5 times from previous wave.
7. There are over 500 small & medium manufacturers of oxygen in India, but 6/9
7. There are over 500 small & medium manufacturers of oxygen in India, but 6/9
scattered.
8. Even last year India exported 4500 MT & current year about 8500 MT. NOTE: Export is not TPD.
9. On an average the combined oxygen production capacity in India is about 10000 MTPD.
10. For a 50 M^3/day plant, space requirement is 14x15 m for a proper plant 7/9

layout including turning radius of trucks. It can be constructed in about 4 weeks time assuming land is ready, & would cost about Rs 7 crores. It would be able to supply peak demand for 60 patients in a hospital. Oxygen can be produced enough but , current problem is 8/9
cryogenic liquid oxygen tank and bulk cylinders for small hospitals. It has to be produced with the tanks and cylinders immediately at the hospital level. 9/9
