Medical grade oxygen 93%, skid-mounted or containerized, with installation, training, warranty and preventive maintenance
An onsite oxygen generating system using PSA technology, which supplies high-pressure oxygen throughout a facility via a central pipeline system, or via cylinders refilled by the plant.
The PSA plants can be provided in a wide range of capacities based on the oxygen demands, ranging from 5 to 90 cubic meters/hour. The most commonly used capacities are 15, 30, 40 and 60 cubic meters/hour respectively.
Oxygen can either be piped directly from the oxygen tank to wards, or further compressed to fill cylinders via a supplemental booster compressor and a cylinder filling ramp/manifold. When the PSA plant is used to fill cylinders, the capacity of the booster compressor also needs to be determined.
PSA plants are either skid-mounted or containerized to facilitate rapid installation. It would be impossible to skid-mount or containerize PSAs above a certain size threshold (for example, above 90m3/hour).
Skid-mounted: All components of the PSA plants have been preassembled and mounted on steel plate and properly connected at the manufacturing site. A fork truck of sufficient capability is needed to unload the skids from the container upon arrival to the hospital and to place the skids inside the location.

Containerized: The compressed air system as well as the oxygen separation system is integrated in the container and represent a compact solution for those who do not have a space for an oxygen generating system within their building or need oxygen production plant in severe conditions. A lifting crane of sufficient capacity is needed to unload the container from the truck upon arrival to the hospital and to place the container on the concrete pad.

| Skid-mounted PSA plants | Containerized PSA plants | |
| Average lead time EXW (Weeks) | 10 | 12 |
| Average cost per M3/h (USD) without booster compressor | $6,000 | $6,500 |
| Average cost per M3/h (USD) with full flow covered by booster compressor | $10,500 | $11,000 |
*The average indicative cost is solely based on the PSA plants with standard configuration across suppliers with installation, training and 5 years of warranty, exclusive of travel costs and preventive maintenance cost; the actual cost and lead time will be determined by the allocated supplier, the scope of work, exact plant configuration and the location of the installation. A quote which is close to the actual cost will be provided at the requisition stage.
