Jalandhar, May 25

In a move to make Jalandhar a self-reliant district in oxygen production, an oxygen generation plant based on pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology has been set up at New Ruby Hospital today. The plant can generate oxygen gas at the rate of 500 litres per minute.

Deputy Commissioner Ghanshyam Thori hailed the efforts of New Ruby Hospital to tackle its oxygen demand. He stated that the district administration had appealed to the hospitals and industries to install such plants so that they could become self-reliant in terms of oxygen generation.

The DC urged other healthcare and industrial establishments to emulate the move by setting up such plants on their premises.

Thori said installing such plants was a one-time investment aimed at enabling such establishments to be self-reliant in production, which is the need of the hour to combat the third wave of the pandemic. He said a multipronged strategy was adopted by the administration encompassing installation of oxygen plant at the Civil Hospital, deployment of oxygen concentrators in Covid care facilities, setting up a post-Covid recovery ward in government hospitals, and an oxygen concentrator bank for patients requiring oxygen support at home.

Throwing light on this project, New Ruby Hospital Director Dr SPS Grover said the oxygen generation plant can provide 80 cylinders daily, which would meet out 80 per cent of the daily requirement. He also mentioned that a storage tank with a capacity of 1,500 liters of liquid oxygen has also been set up along with the plant to further strengthen its operation. Notably, the hospital is also serving Covid patients with 40 beds at its Covid care ward.
