This gives new exiting opportunities to sell not only to European Market but also to other geographical areas traditionally following the European legislations.
Oxymat has therefore launched a R&D program that will utilize our technology in a medical package not seen on the market before.
We intend to use the Medica Fair in Düsseldorf to launch this product line and here is what you can expect from our side:
• Dual generator system with back up cylinder lines, monitoring and control all 3 oxygen sources
• Remote Access and Control via LAN, Internet or radio solution
• Environmentally products from our new “Green line” with Air to Oxygen ratio below 10 at 94 %, water based painting, dB below 73.
• Central monitor with traceability of Oxygen purity, dew point, flow, CO and CO2 and remaining pressure on back up battery
• Oxymat has start its own production of filling ramps and high pressure filling systems, this means we can customize our systems to your specific needs, feel free to contact us for a discussion about your requirements.

Once again Oxymat is creating new standards in the industry by launching a 24/7 hot line service. In order to stay as close to our customers as possible we now launch 24/7 service. It is so far operated from Denmark & Slovakia, but the idea is that it will be extended to our Chinese office and later to a new office in South America to utilize time difference and have a natural round the clock service.
It is important for our customers to feel save when they have invested in a generator system from Oxymat, by allowing them on free on charge basis to our hot line really gives piece in mind. It is nice always to have access to feel safe, no more waiting until next business day. Once again Oxymat is the first in market to generate new standards.

In March 2011 Oxymat was certified according to ISO 14.001, it is a clear Oxymat vision that we want to be recognized as your green partner in gas generators. We are so far working with the following visible:
• Car policy implemented last year, all new company cars have a consumption less than 4,8 litres/per 100 km
• Only use of water based paintings
• Lower noise emission from generators to less than 70 dB
• Air to Gas factor must be improved with minimum 10 % on all generators
• Implementation of low pressure compressor technology
• Removing weight & material from our systems, we want to lower weight & material use with 15 %
• Every year Oxymat will launch minimum 5 “Green Generators”.

More will come to this list, it is our clear intend to be number one in environmental friendly solutions without asking our customers to pay extra, a substantial development doesn’t mean lack of competition, it only means that we think environment every time we do a R&D job.

The markets for high purity nitrogen at 100 ppm and higher with a flow higher than 50 - 60 Sm³/h are increasing. Main reasons are special demands for electronica based products.
High purity N₂ protects the soldering processes from Oxidation and leaves a clean, durable solder point resulting in increased product quality. Oxymat technology puts you in the front seat when combining high purity N₂ demand and low production cost.
Primary idea with the OPAS development were to build Add-on unit, i.e. add it on an existing Oxymat`s or another supplier`s Nitrogen plants with its high competitive advantage - the power consumption for production of 1m³ high purity N₂ - only 0,4kW.

How does OPAS work? Indeed, not complicated – you feed a system from either PSA or external supply, add Hydrogen and you create water which is removed by heating/drying. Final product is Nitrogen with required purity up to 99.9999%.  

Where else you can use OPAS?
∙    Selective / Wave Soldering, Laser Cutting Processes
∙    Nitrification of Steel, Surgical Manufacturing
∙    LCD and Hard Drive Manufacturing  

For all these areas OPAS can promise Nitrogen purity up to 1 ppm with less energy consumption, smaller compressed air package and reasonable price level with significant decrease in nitrogen cost. Don`t hesitate to contact us or our partners for more information.

French army uses PSA systems, which concentrates the content of oxygen in the air, especially for OBOGS (On Board Oxygen System) to provide oxygen to the pilots of fighter jets or the crews of military transport aircraft. Next purpose of this technology, developed by Oxymat and Air Liquide Advanced Technologies, can now fulfill a new need: that of military field hospitals for the autonomous production of oxygen for medical use.

For the army, oxygen is essential to the intensive care and anesthesia of the wounded in combat and it is needed in large quantities and consistent quality. In emergency situations, the use of bottled oxygen is not the best solution because the quantities are quickly depleted and logical delivery is restrictive. That is why French Military Health Service has long been looking for alternative solutions to supply gas cylinders. One of them is to independently produce unlimited oxygen on site, in field hospitals.     

History of project started in 2006 when French army decided to launch a tender for oxygen generation modules. Our solution applied and won.
A total of three years was required for competitive dialogue, the design and manufacture. Consecutive tests in extreme temperatures (from -32°C to +55°C), humidity (from 40 to 90% of humidity), altitude (2,200 m at the Alpe d'Huez) and of course other special conditions prepared by army.
Head of project add: “It was a substantial challenge. The module had to withstand the toughest of conditions: sand storms, extreme weather, air, sea and off-road transport, etc. It also has to meet strict security requirements”.

French army is equipped with three Oxymat/Air Liquide Advanced Technologies containers at this moment. First of them is deployed in real operational situation - based in field hospital in Afghanistan.
Following containers, with serial numbers 4 and 5 are finished in our production facilities and will be handed over in few weeks.

Essential parameters:
-    2x 7,5 m3/h - two complete and independent lines, i.e. 2x O60x2 3-column PSA system
-    Purity 93% ± 1%
-    Housing in standard 20-foot ISO container (6,1 m)

Container PSA solution for so demanding customer like French army is, was such a remarkable technological challenge. A challenge, which should also address many of the humanitarian needs of international NGOs…
