HOW OXYGEN IS MADE ? | Funding For India |

OXYGEN -MANUFACTURE PROCESS AND FUNDING SOURCES

The manufacture of oxygen includes various methods like a fractional distillation of air by cryogenic air separation chemical and electrolysis. Fractional distillation by cryogenic air separation is a method in which, a bulk amount of liquid oxygen is produced, which can be transported and pressurized as a liquid and it can be stored in vacuum insulated evaporators. 

1. First of all, the air is fed into the air separation unit and the air is filtered for dust and water then it is compressed by applying pressure and cooled to -181°C using a heat exchanger.

2. The boiling point of oxygen at 1 atmospheric pressure is -183°Celsius, whereas the boiling point of nitrogen is one atmospheric pressure at one atmospheric pressure is 195°Celsius. 

3. As the compressed air contains a mixed amount of nitrogen, oxygen. To separate the oxygen from the mixture of is a significant amount of argon is added to air-mixture.

4. The boiling point of argon is the same as that of oxygen. (-185.7°Celsius)

5. Hence a small amount of argon is added to the oxygen mixture then this organ oxygen mixture is passed through the second low-pressure distillation column to separate the oxygen.

6. The finalized liquid product contains 0.4 % argon and 99.5% oxygen are separated at ambient temperature.

 Oxygen concentrators require an at constant Electric Supply apart from my small so cute there is no way to store the produced oxygen. Oxygen concentrators use two methods 

1.Membrane filter.

2.Molecular sieve.

Membrane filter method: 

The air is pumped through a free plastic membrane in this method only 30 to 40% of oxygen is delivered

Molecular sieve method: 

This process produces about 95% of oxygen in this method the air is filter and pressure rise to 20 PSI and then it is introduced into two parallel zeolite containing canisters it is a hydrated porous aluminosilicate mineral that is found in a volcanic Rock which observes nitrogen after 20 seconds. The compressed R is allowed to enter into the second canister the then again 20 minutes later the same process is repeated for a continuous supply of oxygen.

PEOPLE WHO HELPED DURING COVID PANDEMIC:

Mumbai-based Shahnawaz Sheikh who's fondly called 'oxygen man' in Malad. Shahnawaz sold his SUV worth Rs 22 lakh last year to buy oxygen cylinders.  He and his team set up a control room to coordinate better. The team helped over 4,000 people. Shahnawaz Shaikh is still hard at work, trying to supply oxygen cylinders to the city.

 Billionaire Mukesh Ambani's Reliance

NSE 1.34 % Industries Ltd is diverting oxygen produced at its refineries to supplement availability in worst-hit COVID states like Maharashtra and the trucks carrying supplies are in transit.

Reliance's twin oil refineries in Jamnagar have through minor process modification converted industrial oxygen into medical-use oxygen that can be administered to COVID-19 patients low on oxygen, people aware of the development.

In a tweet, Tata Steel said, "Tata Steel has further increased supplies of liquid medical oxygen to 800 tons per day. Our Endeavour to #FightAgainstCovid continues. We are closely working with Go I and states to address the demand and save precious human lives."

Steel plants produce oxygen for various steel-making processes including in the basic oxygen furnace. Steelmakers are supplying medical oxygen in liquid form to various states amid rising demand for the gas, which is used to treat COVID-19 patients.

In the urgent fight against the second wave of Covid-19 pandemic, e-commerce major Amazon has joined hands with various industry partners and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to urgently bring in 10,000 oxygen concentrators and BiPAP (bilevel positive airway pressure) machines to India.

Google and Alphabet CEO Sundar Pichai has announced Rs. 135 crore funding support for India’s current pandemic battle, stating he was ‘devastated to see the worsening COVID crisis’ in the country, while Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has also extended help.

The Australian- Cummins pacer has donated $50,000 to the PM-Cares Fund. Cummins also urged fellow players who are participating in the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021, to come forward and donate for the same. The Australian pacer has donated $50,000 to the PM-Cares Fund.

CSK team has donated 450 oxygen concentrators to Tamil Nadu. Chennai Super Kings director R Srinivasan handed over the oxygen concentrators to Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin at his office in Chennai on Saturday.

 OnePlus and Xiaomi have now come forward to help ease the burden. While OnePlus has started a social media campaign to amplify the appeals of those facing COVID-19 emergencies and seeking help on Twitter, Xiaomi has pledged Rs. 3 Crore for relief efforts.

Paytm has announced a fundraising campaign to fight the shortage of oxygen in India that has been caused by the coronavirus second wave. The company, through its philanthropic venture Paytm Foundation, is raising Rs. 10 crores to donate oxygen concentrators across the country. The initiative is called "Oxygen for India" and is aimed to directly help the people who require oxygen. Fintech startup CRED is also trying to help with oxygen supplies and has partnered with healthcare fundraising platform Milaap to procure and distribute oxygen concentrators in the country. The company says it plans to distribute a billion liters of life-saving gas through this partnership.

In a similar vein, CRED is working with Milaap to procure and distribute oxygen concentrators. The Bengaluru-based company is asking its users to donate their loyalty points, called CRED coins.  “For every 10,000 CRED coins our members redeem, we will distribute 1,000 liters of oxygen via these concentrators,” the company said. 

Recently, Vivo India announced that the company will donate Rs 2 crore to address the oxygen shortage that has been caused due to the devastating second wave. The initiative is taken to aid COVID-19 relief efforts and help acquire oxygen concentrators.
