Sterlite second unit to generate oxygen
The Hindu
Operations may begin tomorrow
The second oxygen unit at Vedant-owned Sterlite Copper at Thoothukudi will commence operation this Sunday. “The first oxygen plant is operating consistently now and we are happy that we are able to supply oxygen, especially at the time of crisis. The second plant will commence operation this Sunday and with this we will have an additional 20-30 tonnes of supply,” Sterlite Copper CEO Pankaj Kumar told The Hindu. “Apart from liquid oxygen, we are working on to see how we can give cylinders to hospitals who need them,” he said. Every activity inside the plant was monitored by a committee appointed by the government. The company had invited Expression of Interest (EoI) for a solution to transport around 800 tonnes (per day) of oxygen to hospitals. “We are evaluating this now,” he said.More Related News
