UK Sends 'Oxygen Factories' To India, 500 Litres Of Oxygen Per Minute

The three units, dubbed oxygen factories, are each the size of a shipping container and can produce 500 litres of oxygen per minute, the UK government said.

Britain announced Wednesday it was sending three oxygen generation units to Covid-struck India following a first consignment of aid this week, but said it had no spare vaccines to offer. The three units, dubbed oxygen factories, are each the size of a shipping container and can produce 500 litres of oxygen per minute, the UK government said. "We stand with our Indian friends in their fight against Covid-19," Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said in a statement. "International collaboration is more essential than ever, and this additional UK support package will help meet India's current needs, particularly for more oxygen."
