In order to fulfil the demand of medical grade oxygen in the country, IFFCO have given order for the 2nd Medical Oxygen plant with capacity of 130 Cubic Mtr/hr in its Aonla unit in Uttar Pradesh.
The plant will commence by 30th May. A dedicated separate team has been allocated for this matter. It’s an automatic cylinder filling turnkey plant, reads an IFFCO release.
IFFCO’s free Oxygen plant in Aonla will generate medical grade oxygen and fill 450 big D type cylinders daily & 150 medium B size cylinders on demand supplied to all hospitals free from 30th May.
IFFCO will fill up free of cost the oxygen cylinders for hospitals in UP & adjoining areas. They need to bring their own cylinders for refill. A security deposit will be taken if cylinders taken from IFFCO to avoid hoarding of oxygen.
