Oxygen (O2) is a molecule
that makes up about 21% of Earth’s atmosphere. It is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless gas essential for living organisms. Its value lies in its significant
oxidative properties and its role in sustaining life. Oxygen reacts with most
other elements to form compounds. Historically, oxygen has been considered a human right; however, the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 revealed that access to
pure, medical-grade oxygen has become a luxury in many low- and middle-class countries . In a report published by the
Australian website “The Conversation,” David Ferrin Jimenez, an
academic and researcher at the Molecular Engineering and Advanced Materials Laboratory at the University of Cambridge, stated that accessing medical oxygen is a complex and costly process. Many countries suffer from a significant shortage of oxygen supplies due to high demand and black market prices. This crisis is partly due to the methods of manufacturing, storing, and transporting medical oxygen worldwide. This situation prompted the company Basnali to develop an alternative oxygen generator that is cost-effective, compact, and easy to transport and install in homes, offices, companies, and hospitals
How Does the Basnali Device Produce Oxygen?
The Basnali device produces oxygen by filtering dust from the air, sending it to silent pumps, and drying it with dryers. It then passes through a carbon stage to remove germs, viruses, toxic substances, and radioactive materials. The oxygen is then pumped into tanks filled with porous materials that filter out nitrogen and other gases, which are released from the machine through a hose. The extracted pure oxygen, at a concentration of 70%, is then sent to tanks, sterilized with ozone, scented with the desired fragrance, and finally pumped into the room.
