To make up for a lack of medicinal gas for the medication of COVID-19 patients in India, the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay developed an Oxygen Production Device by transforming a Nitrogen producer into an Oxygen producer.
At a period when healthcare oxygen supplies in the nation are in limited supply for the diagnosis of Covid-19 clients, the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay (IIT-B) has established an observation unit to transform nitrogen power stations found throughout India into oxygen generating units by fine-tuning the established nitrogen plant settings.
Nitrogen production facilities, which take in atmospheric air and extract oxygen and nitrogen to produce liquid nitrogen, may be located in a range of sectors, including oil and gas, food, and drinks. Nitrogen is a dry gas that is widely used to purge and clean oil and gas tankers.
Nitrogen plants use the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) method, which involves sucking in air from the environment, filtering it for pollutants, and extracting nitrogen. As a byproduct, oxygen is consumed back into the environment. A nitrogen plant is made up of four parts: a compressor to manage the temperature of the sucked-in air, an air container for screening out pollutants, PSU modules where the components are separated, and a buffering tank into which the divided nitrogen is transferred and kept.
