    An oxygen concentrator takes in atmospheric air and separates oxygen from other gases, like nitrogen, to provide a purified oxygen stream for the user. It works using a PSA method, where zeolite molecular sieves absorb nitrogen and other gases, allowing pure oxygen to pass through. The document then lists typical components of an oxygen concentrator, their estimated costs, and lead times. It notes rising COVID cases are increasing oxygen demand and concentrators may become necessary in more households. Given existing capabilities in plastic molding and component availability, the author argues their company can manufacture oxygen concentrators to meet local demand.

    What is an Oxygen Concentrator

     An Oxygen Concentrator is a device that takes in Atmospheric Air and separates Oxygen from Nitrogen and Other gases
    to provide Breathable Oxygen Gas Stream to the End User

     Atmospheric Air Consists of 78% of Nitrogen, 21% of Oxygen and 1% of Other Gases

    Composition of Atmospheric Air


    1%
    21%

    78%

    Nitrogen Oxygen
    Other (Argon, Carbon dioxide etc)

    Portable Oxygen Concentrator

    1
    How it works: PSA (Pressure Swing Adoption) Method
     Air enters through a compressor which compresses it and passes to the Zeolite Molecular Sieve Beds

     The Zeolite Molecule Sieve Beds absorbs the Nitrogen and other gases, allowing only the pure oxygen to pass through as a product

     Pressure regulator and Adjusting Valve are used to regulate the flow of Pure Oxygen to the End User through a Humidifier Bottle

    State-wise Oxygen demand and Allocation
     As per reports the second wave of Covid
    Outbreak in India could Peak in coming
    days which can be observed daily

     Due to this, we can observe a surging


    Oxygen Demand in upcoming period all
    over the country

     With available Oxygen Allocation and


    Infrastructure, it would be very difficult to
    cope up with such rising demand of
    Oxygen due to which Covid Devices like
    Oxygen Concentrators will be in rising
    demand

    5
    Rising Covid Cases
     Due to the Nature of the Pandemic
    which may stay for the next 2-3 years in
    some form or shape, Oxygen
    Concentrators may become a necessity
    in each household

     Import Duty Exemption for Oxygen


    Concentrators is available till 31st July
    2021, post which demand for local
    Oxygen Concentrators will rise.

    6
    Existing Capabilities
     We can utilize our Plastic Moulding Capabilities to manufacture the
    Polymer Body of the concentrator by reverse engineering the design

     All other components like Cannula pipes, Humidifier Bottle,


    Compressor, Air Filter, Solenoid Valves etc. are readily available in
    the local region despite the lockdown situation

     With such capabilities and availability of all components, we can


    completely manufacture an Oxygen Concentrator at our end

     Using the Geographical presence as our advantage we can easily


    supply to all the locations which depict surging demand for Oxygen
    Concentrators

    Portable Oxygen Concentrator
