Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd to Build Five O2 Plants in Karnataka

Mangalore Refinery and Petrochemicals Ltd (MRPL) will establish five oxygen generation plants across Karnataka, including Dakshina Kannada, to support the state’s fight against the second wave of the Covid pandemic. Under the guidance of MP Nalin Kumar Kateel and district administration, MRPL will be setting up a 930 litres per minute plant in the Wenlock District Hospital.

 

Shell MRPL Aviation (SMA), a joint venture between MRPL and Shell, will contribute Rs 7.5 million for this initiative. The plant is expected to be operational by mid-June.

 

MRPL has already placed an order worth Rs 11.2 million with Summits Hygronics Private Limited. This system will have compressors, PSA Tank, filters, tanks, dryers and will ensure oxygen pressure of 4 bars with a purity of 93 +/- 3 which should be sufficient to meet the medical oxygen requirement.

 

In addition, MRPL will be setting up four more oxygen generation plants across Karnataka under the guidance of the State government. Apart from MRPL’s four plants, MRPL’s parent company ONGC also will be setting up two more oxygen plants in the state.
