Hospitals and healthcare facilities around the nation have noticed a high surge in demand for medical oxygen & faced a severe shortage of medical oxygen since the outbreak of coronavirus, especially in the second wave in 2021. The shortage has resulted in an increase in interest among hospitals for investing in on-site Medical Oxygen Generators to make sure that they are equipped with an uninterrupted supply of medical grade oxygen gas at low cost.
On-site gas generators are not new in the market. The plants have been there in the industry for over 25 years, but the two main reasons for an unforeseen rise in the demand for the plants are:
1. Such fluctuation in medical oxygen cylinder prices has never been seen before in the industry. There was a huge shortage of cylinders that led to hundreds of patients gasping for breath in intensive care units. Now, nobody wants to see that terrible time again.
2. Small to medium hospitals are short of resources to invest in these heavy generators.
But, with the recent initiative taken by the honorable Prime Minister to dedicate 35 Oxygen Plants funded by PM CARES to the nation and many other initiatives, hospitals are encouraged to set up oxygen generators in their facility.
Here are some common questions related to oxygen generators to which everyone seeks the answer before investing.
1. Investment cost
MVS Oxygen generators have the capacity to generate gas that is equivalent to 10 cylinders per day to 300 cylinders per day. The required investment cost in these generators starts from Rs. 10-15 Lakhs. But the Medical Oxygen plant setup cost in India varies based on the capacity required by the user.
2. Space requirement
If a hospital is using cylinders at the moment, there will not be any requirement for additional space to install the generator. MVS generators are compact and skid-mounted; therefore, there is no requirement for additional space. On the other hand, hospitals can save the cost related to the manpower required in handling cylinders.
3. Operating Cost
On-site gas generation operation mainly consists of 2 components that is electricity charges and annual maintenance cost.
