New Delhi/Hyderabad: Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL), as a part of its CSR initiative, has handed over a PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) Oxygen Generator System to ESIC (Employees State Insurance Corporation) Medical College, Hyderabad.

BDL's Chairman & Managing Director (CMD) Commodore Siddharth Mishra (Retd) handed over the Oxygen Plant to ESIC Medical College on Monday in the presence of ESIC Medical College's Dean Prof. Srinivas Dean, BDL's Director (Finance) N Srinivasulu, faculty and students of ESIC Medical College.

The Oxygen Generator System has a capacity of 960 litres per minute, which is equivalent to 170 to 220 cylinders per day. Another significant feature of the Oxygen Generator Plant is that it has an inbuilt manifold for secondary oxygen supply to address in case of power failure, unit malfunction etc.

This is the second Oxygen Generator System contributed by BDL under its CSR initiative to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. Earlier during June this year, a similar Oxygen generator system was handed over to the Military Hospital, Secunderabad by the company.

Speaking on the occasion, Commodore Mishra stated that this plant will not only be useful for the needy people but will also help the medical students in their learning and will go a long way in Nation's fight against COVID-19.

Earlier, as a part of its CSR initiative, BDL has made several contributions to mitigate the Covid – 19 pandemic.
