What are main applications of medical oxygen?

Oxygen is absolutely necessary for sustaining life on the planet earth. It is said to constitute 21% of earth’s atmosphere. Oxygen is needed for breathing and survival of all living cells.  It is used in various industries for sustaining their operations. In the healthcare, use of oxygen is very important and life –saver. It is used for life support, resuscitation and oxygen therapy.  

For use in medical applications, oxygen must have high purity and must various other protocols.  Ever since oxygen started to be used in 1800, it has brought to the medical science a new gift. It is no wonder medical oxygen was referred as a life-saver.  From the middle of 20^th century, its application in hospitals has increased manifold. Now, oxygen has become an integral part of medical science.

Use of oxygen in hospitals

 Medical oxygen has become very vital for medical industry because it helps in saving countless lives.  Some of the important uses are given below:-

• ·         To treat respiratory disorders
• ·         To provide life support for patients
• ·         To stabilize heartbeat in patients with heart condition
• ·         Used for giving anesthesia
• ·         Restoring tissues with low oxygen
• ·         Oxygen  therapy is beneficial for treating respiratory arrest, shock and trauma

Zero side-effects of using medical oxygen

There are zero side-effects of using oxygen. However, there are certain precautions that must be observed. It should be administered in prescribed dosage especially to infants and patients suffering from emphysema and chronic bronchitis. British Thoracic Society (BTS) has issued detailed guidelines for use of medical oxygen. It calls upon patients to go through proper examination before undergoing oxygen therapy.  

Our company is providing high quality medical oxygen plant for generating medical oxygen for use in hospital around the globe.  We manufacture oxygen gas plants that have purity of 99.7%, which meets medical specifications.  Our oxygen plant is useful for a hospital in a hospital or a major metropolitan city.  The plants are tested and provide a reliable supply of oxygen.

Use of Nitrogen Generators in Coffee Production

Coffee is one of the most popular beverages around the globe. Use of coffee can be traced as far back as 10^th century in Ethiopia.  However, coffee producers did not realize the benefits of using nitrogen in coffee production. Nitrogen is known for preserving essential quality of coffee and increases the shelf life of the popular beverage.  Seeing the advantages of nitrogen, more & more coffee producers have started using nitrogen generators for maintaining quality of coffee and extending its life.

Oxidation and food

Earth’s atmosphere comprises of 21% oxygen.  It is common knowledge that we need oxygen for sustaining life on the planet earth.   However, oxygen is known for its reactivity because of which it readily reacts with other elements. The process is called oxidation and it causes numerous problems in preservation. The rust found in your iron equipments is because of reaction with oxygen. Oxidation is a cause of concern for food producers. The same is true for producers packaging and selling coffee.  On being ground up, the oil inside coffee beans is exposed to air making it to lose aroma and flavor.

How nitrogen helps in preserving coffee aroma and taste?

It is a scientific fact that nitrogen is an inert gas which does not readily react with other elements.  It is considered the perfect gas for food packaging.  Nitrogen is used to replace oxygen helping coffee producers to prolong the shelf life of their product besides preserving its aroma and flavor.  It is so because nitrogen does not react with the oils from coffee beans.  

Process of coffee packaging

 A vertical form-and-fill system is used for coffee packaging. Bags are filled with nitrogen that drives out oxygen. Now, coffee beans are filled into the bag.  When the bag is full with beans as well as nitrogen, it is sealed with a machine. Now the bag keeps coffee fresh and extends its self life. After being packaged with nitrogen, coffee producers are able to sell coffee far and wide without having to worry about short shelf life of coffee.  Coffee can also be packaged for vending machines because of longer shelf life.

By installing nitrogen generator, coffee producers can save a lot of money by being able to produce on-site nitrogen.  On can also install nitrogen cylinder filling station enabling you to fill cylinders on-site.  Nitrogen generators require maintenance & servicing from time to time so that the generators do not interrupt onsite production of nitrogen.  There is no denying the fact that nitrogen packaging is the best solution for oxidation.
