PSA oxygen plants installed at SDMC hospitals

Tilak Nagar Colony Hospital and Poornima Sethi Multi Speciality Hospital in Kalkaji have started two pressure swing adsorption (PSA) oxygen plants.

The South MCD mayor Mukesh Suryan said that the South Delhi Municipal Corporation has started two PSA oxygen plants at Tilak Nagar Colony Hospital and Poornima Sethi Multi Speciality Hospital in Kalkaji.

Suryan said, ‘the initiative to set up PSA oxygen plants across the country from PM Cares Fund was taken to avoid a repeat of the oxygen crisis in the event of another Covid-19 wave,’ according to a report published in The Indian Express.

Around Rs 88 lakh has been invested in setting up both the plants and each plant has the capacity to generate 400 litres of oxygen per minute.

Both the plants will ensure oxygen supply to a 50-bed Covid ward and 10-bed ICU at Tilak Nagar Colony Hospital. India Today
