SUCCESS STORY OXYGEN GENERATION PLANT FOR THE MEDICAL SECTOR
Gurpea Green Tech has successfully implemented a new self-generation medical oxygen plant at a prestigious Spanish clinic, designed to ensure a reliable and cost-effective supply that meets the strict quality standards of the European Pharmacopoeia and RD2060/2008. This plant provides oxygen with a purity of between 93% and 95%, ideal for meeting the needs of the most demanding hospital environments, either through direct supply to the grid or through storage in cylinders for back-up.
Advantages of Oxygen Autogeneration with PSA Technology
The core technology of this plant is the PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) system, which uses zeolite columns to separate oxygen from compressed air.
This system ensures optimum and stable purity of the oxygen generated, maintaining constant quality and precise control of the supply. With a generation capacity of 10.1 m³ per hour, the plant can continuously meet the clinic's oxygen needs, with uninterrupted availability that eliminates dependence on external suppliers and reduces risks associated with delays or incidents in the supply chain.
Storage and Backup System with High Pressure Booster
To guarantee complete autonomy, Gurpea Green Tech has integrated a high-pressure compression system (booster) that allows oxygen to be stored in cylinders at a pressure of up to 200 bar. This compression process is vital to ensure adequate backup, allowing oxygen to be stored in cylinders at times of low demand for use during peaks or in case of emergencies.
This approach increases safety and operational flexibility, allowing the clinic to respond immediately to variations in consumption without compromising the quality of supply.
Remote Monitoring and Advanced Quality Control
The plant has an advanced monitoring system that allows remote control of flow levels, oxygen purity and other key parameters. This management system also facilitates data acquisition and traceability control, which is essential for failure management and predictive maintenance. With this technology, clinic staff can monitor plant performance in real time, ensuring that the oxygen delivered always meets the required medical standards and maximizing the efficiency of the operation.
Economic and Sustainable Benefits
Self-generation of oxygen not only offers independence and safety, but also represents significant savings in operating costs. With a potential reduction of up to 90% in the cost per cubic meter of oxygen and a payback period of between one and two years, Gurpea Green Tech's plant enables the clinic to secure its supply and optimize its long-term budget.
This continuous production model also provides the possibility of storing oxygen, creating a resilient and future-proof infrastructure.
Thanks to this Gurpea Green Tech solution, the medical center has improved its ability to offer a high quality service, strengthening its self-sufficiency and ensuring a stable supply of oxygen for all its patients.
