To meet the oxygen supply chain problem of transportation and storage risks related to oxygen cylinders, CSIR-CMERI has transferred its Oxygen Enrichment technology to the Hyderabad-based Apollo Computing Laboratories.
Harish Hirani, Director, CSIR-CMERI, in a statement said the unit requires easily available oil-free reciprocating compressor, Oxygen grade zeolite sieves and pneumatic components. It is capable of delivering medical air in the range of up to 15 LPM with oxygen purity of more than 90 per cent. If required, this unit can even deliver up to 70 LPM at a purity of around 30 per cent and can safely be placed in the isolation ward of the hospital for patients who are in dire need of Oxygen.
