Technology 03 May 2021 Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has come up with a creative and ingenious solution to address the shortage of medical oxygen for the treatment of Covid-19 patients in the country. The pilot project, which has been tested successfully relies on a simple technological hack: conversion of Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Nitrogen Unit to PSA Oxygen Unit! Initial tests done at IIT Bombay have shown promising results. Oxygen production could be achieved at 3.5 atm pressure, with a purity level of 93- 96 per cent. This gaseous oxygen can be utilised for Covid-relat...

To address the shortage of medical oxygen for the treatment of COVID-19 patients in the country,

Sharing the news on Thursday (29 th April), IIT said the converted unit can produce oxygen suitable for Covid-related needs across India’s health care sector. Initial tests have shown promising results. According to a statement, oxygen production could be achieved at 3.5 atm pressure, with a purity level of 93-96%. Prof. Milind Atrey, Dean (R&D), IIT Bombay, who led the project, has said the conversion is a result of fine-tuning the existing nitrogen plant setup and by changing the molecular sieves from carbon to zeolite. “Such nitrogen plants, which take air from the atmosphere as raw m...
