For a long time, businesses have faced the burden of high costs and logistical headaches when it comes to getting oxygen cylinders. In hospitals, medical staff often experienced delays in obtaining vital oxygen for patients, while manufacturers had to deal with unpredictable price increases. But with this new tech, those issues might soon be behind them.
The recently launched oxygen generators come with top-notch technology that offers an efficient, on-site solution, eliminating the need for traditional oxygen cylinders. These cylinders not only come with hefty costs but also create challenges in terms of transportation and storage. By producing oxygen on-site, industries can significantly lessen their reliance on outside suppliers, ensuring a steady, high-quality, and budget-friendly supply.
Olusola Aluko, General Manager and Managing Director of Atlas Copco Nigeria, discussed the significant benefits of this innovation. He remarked that it represents a pivotal advancement for industries grappling with high operational expenses. The introduction of oxygen generators offers a dependable, on-site oxygen supply, which diminishes reliance on expensive cylinder deliveries and reduces downtime. Furthermore, these generators improve workplace safety by mitigating the hazards associated with handling and storing high-pressure cylinders, while also cutting transportation and logistics costs. With the ability to ensure consistent oxygen purity and customizable output, businesses can enhance their operational efficiency and sustain continuous operations.
