Which [IIT](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/4184/5-indian-entrepreneurs-who-became-successful-without-iit-or-iim-degrees) has transformed an existing Nitrogen [Plant](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/story/5010/round-40-liter-plastic-plant-pots-for-blueberries) into an Oxygen [Generator](https://www.mindstick.com/articles/249204/generator-info-where-can-you-find-the-best-generator-for-power-outages)? \ ## Answers ### Answer by Stuti Gupta > **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**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95631/which-company-has-partnered-with-the-indian-government-to-roll-out-a-vaccine-finder-tool-on-its-mobile-app-in-india-to-get-vaccinated) 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](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/51937/ozone-layer-which-is-polluted-by-supersonic-jets-is-present-in-which-layer-of-the-atmosphere) 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.** \ ![Which IIT has transformed an existing Nitrogen Plant into an Oxygen Generator?](https://answers.mindstick.com/questionanswer/48f9b8eb-3a2e-4d40-b207-09f33597e478/images/7400f6cb-3354-455c-ac95-68d8ddc81b9f.jpeg)\ \ Nitrogen plants use the **pressure swing adsorption (PSA)** method, which involves sucking in air from the [**environment**](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/92957/which-political-party-cares-about-the-environment-in-india), 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.** --- Original Source: https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/95633/which-iit-has-transformed-an-existing-nitrogen-plant-into-an-oxygen-generator Copyright © MindStick Software Pvt.
