CSIR-CMERI indigenously developed Oxygen enrichment technology may effective for treating COVID-19 patients: Dr. V R Sirsath


Posted On: 26 APR 2021 3:11PM by PIB Delhi



CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur, in association with MSME-DI, Raipur, Chhattisgarh, Government of India jointly organised a Webinar on ‘Oxygen Enrichment' Technology on 25th April, 2021.









Dr. V R Sirsath, Jt. Director & HOO, MSME DI Raipur in his welcome address stated the entire nation is undergoing an unprecedented pandemic situation of COVID-19 & is running out of medical grade oxygen. The CSIR-CMERI indigenously developed Oxygen enrichment technology may effective for treating COVID-19 patients. This Technology has tremendous potential. He urged all the participant industries/Entrepreneurs to come forward in this crucial juncture & manufacture the device at earliest.











Prof. (Dr.) Harish Hirani, Director, CSIR-CMERI during his address stated that CSIR-CMERI developed an Oxygen enrichment unit requiring easily available oil free reciprocating compressor, Oxygen grade zeolite sieves and pneumatic components. This unit can safely be placed in the isolation ward of the hospital for patients who are in dire need of Oxygen. He also added that CSIR-CMERI will be providing manufacturing guidance to the technology transferees as well as provide information on raw materials sourcing.


Dr. Anupam Sinha, Sr. Principal Scientist, CSIR-CMERI, Durgapur presented the technical note on the Oxygen enrichment unit, which has been transferred to two industries. The unit is capable of delivering medical air in the range of up to 15 LPM with oxygen purity of more than 90%. If required, this unit can even deliver up to 70 LPM at a purity of around 30%.


President, Industry association, Raipur along with several others from the industry and entrepreneurs participated in the webinar and interacted with the speakers on the subject. A good number of industries have shown their interest in CSIR-CMERI developed Oxygen Enrichment technology & expressed their willingness to start the manufacturing with the cooperation of CSIR-CMERI.


CSIR-Central Mechanical Engineering Research Institute, Durgapur is a premier Mechanical Engineering Research Institute of the country under Ministry of Science & Technology, Govt. of India. CSIR-CMERI has already invited Expression of Interest (EOI) from Indian Companies / Manufacturing agencies/ MSMEs / Start ups for manufacturing Oxygen Enrichment Units through Technology Transfer.

Heard from a very reliable source that at least 6 Indian companies are preparing to license manufacture a certain COVID vaccine type.

Objective is to hit world's highest manufacturing rate and vaccination rate.
How many days until this vaccine rolls out? Any further elaboration will be greatly appreciated.

Economics of scale , Because there are companies whose core business is selling oxygen to industries and hospitals when they can deliver oxygen so quickly why invest for oxygen plant in your premises . This pandemic will teach so many lessons which can be corrected before next big health crisis . Like now how GoI is planning to set up oxygen plant in every single district govt hospital like close to 500 which is good start . But will these plants be maintained and continued after this pandemic over . What if HoD of these govt hospitals revert back to earlier days of oxygen suppliers for their oxygen needs .

The big question is why big super speciality hospitals in india dont have in house oxygen gen plant.

This lineage is characterized by a 6 nt deletion (H146del &Y145del) , apart from E484K and D614G in spike protein .E484K is a major immune escape variant - also found in a number of emerging lineages across the world. E484K can escape multiple mAbs as well as panels of convalescent plasma.

The proportions of B.1.618 has been growing significantly in the recent months in the state of West Bengal.

There is enough 2nd dose happening , its just that 1st dose number have overshadowed the 2nd dose numbers . Today out of 30 lakh doses close to 12 lakhs were 2nd dose

Reinfection rate is 4 out of 1000.
10 million vaccination everyday should be the target.
The really worry is not enough people getting second shot
