- The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay has come up with a creative and ingenious solution to addressing the shortage of medical oxygen for the treatment of COVID-19 patients in the country. The pilot project which has been tested successfully relies on a simple technological hack: conversion of PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) Nitrogen Unit to PSA Oxygen Unit!
Initial tests done at IIT Bombay have shown promising results. Oxygen production could be achieved at 3.5 atm pressure, with a purity level of 93% - 96 %. This gaseous oxygen can be utilised for COVID-related needs across existing hospitals and upcoming COVID-19 specific facilities by providing a continuous supply of oxygen.
How can the nitrogen unit be converted into an oxygen unit? " It has been done by fine-tuning the existing Nitrogen Plant setup and changing the molecular sieves from Carbon to Zeolite" says Prof. Milind Atrey, Dean (R&D), IIT Bombay, who led the project.
"Such nitrogen plants, which take air from the atmosphere as raw material, are available in various industrial plants across India. Therefore, each of them could potentially be converted into an oxygen generator, thus helping us tide over the current public health emergency", he added.
The pilot project is a collaborative effort between IIT Bombay, Tata Consulting Engineers and Spantech Engineers, Mumbai, who deal with PSA Nitrogen & Oxygen plant production.
A PSA Nitrogen plant in the Refrigeration and Cryogenics Laboratory of IIT was identified for conversion, to validate the proof of concept. To undertake this study on an urgent basis, an MoU was signed between IIT Bombay, Tata Consulting Engineers and Spantech Engineers to finalise a SOP that may be leveraged across the country.
Spantech Engineers installed the required plant components as a skid at IIT Bombay for evaluation using IIT Bombay’s infrastructure at the IITB Nitrogen facility at the Refrigeration and Cryogenics lab. This setup for the experiment was developed within three days, and the initial tests have shown promising results, as mentioned above.
Prof. Milind Atrey acknowledges and thanks Mr. Amit Sharma, Managing Director, Tata Consulting Engineers; along with Mr. Rajendra Tahiliani, Promoter, Spantech Engineers and alumnus IIT Bombay (1970); Mr. Raj Mohan, MD, Spantech Engineers; and their passionate team members for their collaboration and partnership on this project.
Congratulating the teams on the successful pilot in a timely manner amidst several constraints, Mr. Amit Sharma said: “We are delighted to partner with IIT Bombay and Spantech Engineers, and contribute towards an innovative solution for emergency oxygen generation using existing infrastructure towards helping the country tide over the current crisis. Such partnerships between industry and academia can accelerate our vision towards the Atma-Nirbhar Bharat.”
Prof. Subhasis Chaudhuri, Director IIT Bombay, congratulated all the involved parties and said that such partnership between academia and industry is highly desirable and essential for the growth and success of our nation.

This video is meant for industrial plants and a hope to all. So it's a request to all nitrogen plant owners to come forward to help the humanity.🙏🙏
You think nitrogen plant owners are browsing youtube comments for tips on oxygen production 😂😂
@@sourabhs14 you missed the point...
Every new invention has a ripple effect. Though the Nirogen plant owner might not see this video but their employees might and suggest for this change.
@@swagatpradhan769 yeah right.. and government is sitting there, waiting for employees of nitrogen plant to see yt comments, who will then tell tips to their bosses, and then production will start.
@@sourabhs14 govt might have contacted Nitrogen plants...
We have no way to confirm that.
This video has been released on youtube by a govt channel to spread the knowledge so that more people know about it. Maybe some Industrialist could offer extra help to government.
Ambani is producing oxygen in nitrogen plants.
Proud to have such Institution is our Country, thanks to Prof. Atrey for this innovative step
Chomu 🤣🤣
@@Funnydankguy complete bogus.
All simp students are doing G Chaaat for extra marks
@@Funnydankguy ur solution makes no sense.
@@Funnydankguy this project is stupid.
Just good enuf to pass in college.
In real wont work. Get over ur emotions kids
@@bhakktkibaap9669 grow up potato head
At last this crisis has made us realize industry-acadmia collaboration is imperative to solve issues of R&D in general and health sector in particular in this country.
Great job sir.
Can't agree more..
NO use. hundreds of pages of paperwork to be signed by illiterate mantris who want to know how much money they can make.
@@drury2d8 beaurecrats not mantris...beaurecrats are more responsible for Indias plight...."educated" people when fail to perform action...politicians are idiots no expectations from tbem
Gobra has oxygen supply too.jai Modi ji
@@nowpresent2167 what is gobra
These projects does not leave the doors of IIT, One example is low cost ventilator which was developed by most of IIT's in past and India failed to put into production.
Yes coz then they will lose all those contracts on which they can take comission from companies.
That's because most of the private companies use these patents on an individual contract and the illeterate politicians don't give a shit about these.
I don't know why youtube recommended this video. However, it's so informative in these bad times.
Good idea! Similar Plants should become part and parcel of all Hospital Campuses on a compulsory basis all over the Country.CSIR and IIT should take the initiative,convince the Govt and have it implemented "Warp Speed".
Don't do this, oxygen is corrosive. Nitrogen is insert, the storage isn't designed to extract oxygen, it can be used but it might fail hazardously.
Feeling proud to be part of IITB. Thanks Prof.Milind D. Atrey
Hota
This post should go viral❤️ such a positive and innovative step- hope for the country- thank you to all the best minds behind this innovation👍
See all my fellow INDIANS, this is the benefit of having a world-class institution like IITB, We all INDIANS must focus on Education even much more than now. And in my opinion, the Teachers&Professors must be the most respected persons in our society.
Nice lines!❤️
Great idea Sir. Govt should implement this to all the Nitrogen Plant in India on an urgent basis.
@Rocketman Amit but why it cant be implemented ?
@Rocketman Amit yes
@Rocketman Amit btw how much does the spantec unit cost that he has demonstrated any idea is it that costly and also if u know hw much its costs for geolite sieves and hw much o2 cd b generated per day
@Rocketman Amit rocketman kim jong se mang oxygen
Government is already thinking about this. For this report was given in PM review meeting.🙏
Good job IIT-B👍👍 Atrey Sir👍
There is a shortage of oxygen cylinders and transportation of these. We should find a fix for that also. Great work👍
Very innovative, yet simple idea to address the current situation of panic in the country. Kudos to the entire team @IIT Bombay @TCE.
अत्रे सर खूपच छान व्हिडिओ बनवला आहे. मनापासून धन्यवाद. आम्हाला तुमचा अभिमान आहे. 👍
Kudos to pib and IIT Bombay for thinking about and producing this video.
Jhat bhar ka value nahi hai iss project ko
@@bhakktkibaap9669 good job, funny commentary- frustrations from the days of jee

Awesome Idea .. Prayers and hope that we can get all the raw materials needed to implement this solution soon .
Best thinking. Timely and easy. Thank you all on behalf of Humanity at Stake
Thank you so much Prof Atrey and IIT Bombay.
Congrats, team IIT Mumbai, Tata consultancy & Spantec!
This is real Desh sewa. Superb. Should be implemented in all Nitrogen systems asap.
so happy to see the nation's top minds are coming together to help us cope with this situation. I hope that we can come out through these tough times by implementing and strengthening such institutions' ideas without any politics.
Oh wow
May this will be really helpful in today's scenario 🙂
अत्रे सर खूप छान माहिती दिलीत तुम्ही.मला आशा आहे की सरकार याकडे लक्ष देईल.जय हिंद जय महाराष्ट्र.

Thank u to iit bombay and tce (tata consulting engineers) for this psa based oxygen concentrator project. 🙏 I think this is a way forward for glue grant scheme also.
Hats off to your work sir..... 🇮🇳Now India need such a Awesome ideas... 🙏👍🏻
Great 👍. We have so many engineers who can help to resolve oxygen issues 🙏🙏
Hats-off to IIT team and TaTa services for that wonderfull work.let other iits and nits can think to produce O2 from existing N2 plant
Very Proud of your work Sir, Now its time to change the PSI units in Large scale industries and and get the oxygen to Hospitals.
Congratulations sir ! It will be very useful in production of oxygen. Great works done by Attrey sir . 🙏
Proud to have such institution in our country. Govt should immediately pass this order to every nitrogen generation plants, soon we will recover from problem of oxygen
Congrats, Team IIT Bombay, Tata Consultancy and Spantec.
Loyalty to the Nation is the first priority of every Individual, God bless the teams of dedicated people in this endeavor, we shall overcome 🙏
This gives a good opportunity for engineering colleges to participate in this kind of activities. It will gives a much needed experience to students.
Excellent - hope this was duly implemented and patients needing oxygen benefitted !
Such combo efforts by industry and institution are an effective short cut to meeting SOS requirements of masses currently desperate for help !
👌👌🙏🙏🌷
WE need such an Institution more In India ❤️ thanks To IIT Bombay 🙏❤️
Ab har Town mein ek engineering clg khologe kya??🤣
In this pandamic time your knowledge is going to be very helpful to Health care sector in my opinion govt should collabrate with students and research Scholars and industry experts how to tacle this situation This is testing time for indian health care sector we are going to be face the situation with our knowledge and courage and kudos to IIT Bombay for the valuable contribution to society
Great idea Prof. Atrey sir and team!! #IITB
Feeling proud to be a part of this institute
This is not a new thing it had been here for years but still quite nicely explained.
Thank you for the timely intervention.....
Amazing idea and great innovation by IITB
Great initiative, I hope government and institutions this time actually do something in real way.
Thanks for such a informative video
Salute to you sir…IITs always to help the nation in need.thanks 👍👍
Only these guy's can save india, not politicians.
Well political parties can spread awareness and in good way sure of it
Engineers and Doctors are saving planet. The rush we see in these fields is worth appreciation.
Well done IIT BOMBAY...
Use of zeolite is already well known to everyone. Even some engineers have been trying to produce oxygen generators that can be built by common people themselves. But the fact that zeolite is not readily available, makes the problem still a tough one. Alternates for zeolites should be found.
Bringing Zeolite manufacturing technology to India would be more worthwhile
without Availability of Zeolites or equivalent material, this idea may not support the current situation.
@@ulaganathand Of course! Make in India wants to do it without spending anything on our capabilities which obviously need R&D expenditures and required resources. Otherwise we feel better off just making with licensed technologies involving only the labour work in assembling equipments and Make for the World in India. Perhaps not even in the case for producing zeolites which is proprietary and can only be imported. Case in point, all smartphones made in India are only assembled here even though our capable fellow Indians are part of the development work outside India. With zeolites we talk about angstrom levels and not even nano! Something which is beyond the grasp of our over ambitious government who just can rest on old laurels and hardly achieve on anything new.
Zeolite is a mineral, and not rare. Surely it can be found in India easily enough.
@@ianstobie Due to current covid and higher demand, non availability for the common manufacturers. If you know any source please let me know.
This is perfect examlle of using mind in stressful situation. Thnq proffessors for your idea.
Great Sir, Respect from IITD
Just imagine every college having such facility I guess we can have more than better engineers
4 saal mei saare students ka assignment file banane mei jitne paise kharch hote hai na utne mei ye machine aaramse aa jayega...
1 engg /sem cost =500₹
50*8=4000₹ per student
Aise har college mei minimum 1000 students rehte hai.....
4000*1000= 40lakhs....₹
Great work 👍👍
Very nice initative it is thankyou too support our nations
This is something great. Hope to see some positive outcomes of this process soon. It will be proved as a saviour for many ♥ ✨
Really Appreciate your efforts for this solution., Hats off Sirji
Thanks a lot sir.
Great step
Very true collaboration of industry with academics is need of the hour...
Thank you very much professor Atray and your team.
god bless all.
We wish best of luck... to ur gr8 idea....
Very good information and initiatives, nice if implemented on large scale at every available source in the present situation
This means that fertilizer plants which convert atmospheric nitrogen can now make Liquid oxygen.
Good idea IITb...need of the hour👍👍👍
Atrey sir 🙏🙏🙏. IIT Bombay is ❤️
Great step towards #atmanirbhar_bharat.
Keep it up 👍.
We salute you and your IIT Mumbai Team. Thank you very much. What is the price of this project ?
IIT BOMBAY!!! Thank you Sir
Very good IIT Bombay , Tata and spantec.
Brilliant. Thinking on his feet
This shows that rather than spending lots of money on materialistic irrelevant things government need to invest on intellectual property of our country and hence R&D , education ,health care.
Hoping for a change🙏
Let us tell this to our PM Modi who is after materialistic gains and spending money on new Parliament and PM residence.
This is very inspiring. Thank you Sir.
I am sure Delhi Hospitals will now be filled with oxygen after watching this video. Great theoretical video with little practical use. As always
Good work sir
Commendable job!!
You are doing really great job
Yogi ji was right, he just replaced air with nitrogen.
No one should be criticised everyone has different approach. Yogi ji we stand with you!
Hitting a like, so this can go viral.. I strongly believe each hospital should have this basic plant.
Thank You
