Success Story: Uninterrupted Medical Oxygen Production with FAST/TOOLS Monitoring

The medical gases department of MTE Verifylab provides air and medical oxygen to hospitals and clinics. Their plants at these medical facilities are relied on to provide a steady and uninterrupted supply of medical oxygen. Recently, MTE Verifylab completed a project for 10 clinics operated by one of Columbia’s largest healthcare providers. Their innovative solution called for centralization of the data acquisition and the quality reporting functions at a telemetry facility in Bogatá, thereby eliminating the need for technical staff at each location. This reduced monthly operating costs 25%.

To ensure an uninterrupted 24/7 supply of medical oxygen, MTE Verifylab employed a two-level contingency system in addition to their main PSA generation supply system: cryogenic tanks and oxygen manifolds. As the operating costs for this PSA technology are up to 55% lower compared to these other contingency systems, a main goal is to maximize its use without incurring any risk of a cutoff in the supply of medical oxygen to the patients at these facilities. This requires real-time monitoring of every variable and automated switching between supply systems.
