CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur on Thursday transferred an oxygen enrichment technology developed by the institute to Rajkot-based Jyoti CNC Automation Ltd and GRID Engineers Pvt Ltd of Gurugram at a virtual function.
Speaking on the occasion, Harish Hirani, director of CSIR-CMERI, the technology will help address the need for better distribution strategies of O2, particularly in the present Covid-19 pandemic scenario.

The technology developed by CSIR-CMERI provides in-house enrichment of oxygen and offers independence from external parties as well as eliminates the risks and difficulty of handling bulky cylinders. CSIR-CMERI developed OEU can help patients to recover faster, says an institute release.
