What does a site need before an oxygen plant is installed?
Short answer
For an ULTRAOX plant, the hospital provides a clean, level area reachable by a crane, a drain for condensate, anchoring for the equipment, three-phase power and the licences to install and operate it.
The ambient air must be reasonably free of dust, at an acceptable humidity and free of chemical contamination, the area must not be classed as electrically hazardous, and no one may smoke within 10 metres of the plant. The plant can run from a diesel generator, and the existing oxygen installation can stay in place: ULTRAOX connects to it as a new source.
