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.
