PESO takes steps to augment production and supply
Responding to the steep rise in demand for medical oxygen in the State, steps have been taken to augment the production and supply of gaseous oxygen, says R. Venugopal, Deputy Chief Controller of the Petroleum and Explosives Safety Organisation (PESO) and nodal officer for supplying oxygen to Kerala and Lakshadweep.
To address the scarcity of filled oxygen cylinders in Kasaragod, an air separation unit (ASU) plant lying defunct since 2015 at Vattaparambu in Malappuram’s Marakkara panchayat was reopened on Tuesday and the first load of 114 cylinders was dispatched to Kasaragod. The revamped plant can produce oxygen at the rate of 100 metre cube per hour (m3h) and a maximum of 300 cylinders a day.
