The Health department has installed three Oxygen booster Plants across Gurugram to ensure sufficient supply in case of another Covid-19 wave.
Unlike pressure swing absorption (PSA) plants, oxygen booster units can extract the gas directly from the air and fill cylinders with it. Oxygen produced in booster plants can be transferred from one facility to another in tankers, which isnt possible atPSAplants. The booster plants installed in the city can altogether fill around 550 D-type cylinders in a day. One D-type cylinder can hold 46 litres of oxygen. At present, Gurugram has 2,600 D-type cylinders.
