The euphoria triggered by the generation of oxygen in Sterlite Copper’s oxygen plant for saving the COVID-19 patients was short-lived as an unexpected technical snag in the oxygen plant paralysed roduction late Thursday night. Consequently, the planned second load of oxygen from the plant on Thursday night could not be realised. The plant, after being idle for nearly three years, started generating oxygen since Wednesday evening and the first tanker with the 4.80 tonnes of oxygen produced in the plant took the life-saving gas to Tirunelveli Medical College Hospital only on Thursday morning. It was expected that the plant, which would generate 5 to 6 tonnes a day for the first few days, would produce 35 tonnes of oxygen from Saturday / Sunday (May 15 / 16).More Related News
