Introduction
The BMO series (BeaconMedaes Oxygen) “all-in-one” oxygen
concentrator systems is designed to provide Pharmacopeia quality
medical Oxygen with purity 93±3%. The concentrator uses pressure
swing adsorption (PSA) technology.
The system shall be designed as “plug-and-play” installation and
“one-button operation”. The single concentrator control unit shall
control the complete system including air compressor and dryer,
so that it becomes single point of human-machine-interface (HMI)
and no interaction with compressor nor dryer controller is required
by hospital personnel.
The system shall include air compressor with efficiency rating
IE4 or higher and turn-down capability down to 25% of nominal
capacity for efficient oxygen supply in times of low hospital
occupancy without causing frequent load/unload or start-stop of
the compressor.
Variable speed drive air compressor shall guarantee the narrow air
supply pressure band that will result in stable oxygen purity and
output.
The dryer shall be capable of producing 3-degree Pressure Dew
Point (PDP) for adequate quality feeding air and shall be controlled
by the concentrator’s central control unit. The filtration and dryer
shall guarantee quality of the air according to ISO 8573-1 Class 1.
Footprint requirements
The Oxygen concentrator system shall incorporate the air supply
preparation and Oxygen concentrator in one module to make
installation as compact as possible and should not require footprint
of more than 2.7 m2 for system with flow 150-500 lpm or 1.5 m2 for
systems below 150 lpm (including air supply preparation).
Power requirements
The system shall have in-rush current not more than 15% of
nominal, so that it wouldn’t require contactors oversizing and It
could be used in regional hospitals with limited power availability
or be powered by electric generators.
The concentrator shall have single point electrical connection to the
concentrator system which distributes power to air compressors,
dryer and Oxygen concentrator.
Transportability
The system shall be transportable by either sea, road or airfreight.
The height of the unit shall not exceed 1.85 meter. Weight of the unit
shall not exceed 1450 kg for 500 lpm system, 1100 kg for systems
with flow under 300 lpm and 550 kg for systems under 130 lpm
(including the complete air supply part).

Startup time
Time needed for the concentrator system to reach nominal purity
shall not exceed 30 minutes during the commissioning. After short
service interruption (for example for swapping power generators
for compressor maintenance), time to reach the nominal purity
shall be within 10 minutes.
Noise level
Noise level of the system shall not exceed 85 dB(a) at 1 meter.
Oxygen filter
The system shall be equipped with oxygen approved 0.01-micron
outlet filter, conforming to class 1 according to ISO8573-1:2010.
Remote monitoring
Compressor (as the equipment that have the most wear) shall
include the communication module that enables real time remote
monitoring of the system. The comprehensive remote monitoring
of the plant shall be available via Smart Control Module.
Data Logging functionality
The central controller shall log air pressure, oxygen purity, oxygen
pressure, alarm log as well as “patrol” check (logging at the
controller during personnel checks on the unit).
Alarm
The system shall include the following alarms on the central
controller: High Air pressure, High Oxygen Pressure, Low Oxygen
Purity. Alarms from the compressors controller shall be transmitted
via remote monitoring systems and shall be visible from remote
location. Low purity output shall be provided for the master alarm.
Ensuring continuity of supply
According to ISO 7396-1 continuity of the oxygen supply shall
be ensured with three sources of supply, which can be various
combination of the one or two concentrators, reserve manifold and
local cylinders. Oxygen concentrators as primary and secondary
sources of supply shall be preferred, especially for large plants,
where cylinders will only provide oxygen for limited number of
hours.
In cases where dual oxygen production lines are installed, the
system can be equipped with the Smart Control Module. Smart
Control Module shall manage multiple units, automatically switch
concentrators in case of failure and rotate unit for equal wear and
tear.

Oxygen Standards Oxygen Concentrator Plant Sizing

PSA oxygen modules are able to produce oxygen compliant with
the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) or European Pharmacopeia
(EurPh) monograph for Oxygen 93. Both standards were created
explicitly to permit the use of PSA produced oxygen for hospitals.
Standard
HTM 02-01 Part A – Appendix M gives indication of the average
oxygen consumption per bed (+/- 1.5 - 2 l/min per bed).
In surgery rooms (operating theatres) consumption can peak to 10
lpm per bed. For COVID hospital, average diversified consumption
has been typically assumed 10 lpm per bed.
The concentrator sizing for the specific facility remains the
responsibility of the hospital personnel.

Although the optimal working temperature for PSA type systems is Booster and cylinder filling ramp can be added to the scope of
20°C, the BMO can perform at wide range of operating condition. supply for two main uses in hospital context:
For extreme conditions the flow derating factors should be applied
depending on the altitude and ambient temperature as per table a. For hospitals without medical gas pipeline system, BMO

Continuity of supply
The supply system should be designed to achieve continuity of
supply to the terminal units in normal condition and in a single
fault condition. A single fault condition is where a single means for
protection against a safety hazard in equipment is defective or a
single external abnormal condition is present. Loss of supply due
to maintenance of a supply source (or a component within it) is not
considered a single fault condition.
Types, capacities and locations of primary, secondary and
reserve sources of supply will be based on both system design
parameters and the need for supply security, identified by a risk
assessment during the planning stage.
primary, secondary and reserve sources of supply will be based
on both system design parameters and the need for supply
security, identified by a risk assessment during the planning
stage.

Optional Emergency reserve manifold

Automatic changeover manifold (left) or Emergency Reserve
Manifold (right) HTM02-01 to be used as secondary or reserve
source of supply. Both manifolds can come with different number
of cylinders, it is recommended to have at least 4 hours reserve
supply. Please see separate technical data sheets.

Installation recommendations
Three sources of supply are recommended to ensure continuity
of supply. The recommended installation is shown on the picture
below. Depending on the risk assessment by the consultant or
the hospital personnel and depending on the equipment already
present, some of this equipment might be excluded from the
scope of supply. This is an example of BMO-1000V with 25 m3/h
booster (416 l/min), filling ramp and emergency manifold in a plant
room 6 x 6 meters and cylinder room 2 x 6 meters. It is a safety
recommendation - high-pressure cylinder installations should not
be located inside the compressor room.
To follow the Continuity of Supply Principle, two BMO systems
should be used to supply the hospital: BMO -1000V (1- primary)
and BMO-1000V (2 - secondary).
Oxygen tanks (3) used as a buffer after the concentrator to store
oxygen. Emergency Reserve Manifold (ERM) (6) used only as a
reserve (3rd source of supply). Cylinders can be supplied by a
gas company or refilled from the booster. An alternative reserve
source can be implemented via individual cylinders located by
the patient bed in the ward areas.
Oxygen booster compressor (7) and filling ramp (8), if included,
is used to increase oxygen pressure from 0.4 MPa to 15 MPa (4
bar to 150 bar) and to refill the cylinders. Cylinders can be used
for the reserve manifold (self back-up) or to be sent out to other
facilities.
Smart Control Module (5) is used to manage up to three BMO’s, it
monitors the oxygen flow, equalizes running hours, and provides
information about the system via connectivity system.
Digital flow meter (4), - Only used if there is no Smart Control
Module installed. The oxygen filter kit is used to filter the oxygen
from particles that might occur.
