IIT-Bombays pilot project to convert a PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) Nitrogen Unit to a PSA Oxygen Unit has been successfully tested.
Oxygen can be produced at 3.5 atm pressure, with a purity of 93%-96%.
By providing a continuous supply of oxygen, this gaseous oxygen can be used for COVID-related needs in existing hospitals and upcoming COVID-19 dedicated facilities.
Finished by fine-tuning the existing nitrogen production equipment and changing the molecular sieve from “carbon” to “zeolite”.
The pilot project is a joint effort between Tata Consulting Engineers IIT Mumbai and Spantech engineers in Mumbai, who are responsible for the production of PSA’s nitrogen and oxygen Plants.
