On December 29th, 2019, the Samoan government lifted a six-week-long state of emergency that was put in place in response to a deadly measles outbreak. In fact, the epidemic was so severe that the government was forced to shut down all public services for two days in early December. On Site Gas, in conjunction with one of our partners in Australia, worked to help stop the outbreak by deploying a portable oxygen generator system (POGS) through the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF). Read on to learn more about how our oxygen generators were used to combat this epidemic. The Global Measles Resurgence For decades, measles was widely believed to have been nearly eradicated across the globe. However, in the past few years, many industrialized nations…

Clean, pure water is a fundamental human necessity. Whether it be for cooking, or hygiene, every person needs safe water. Clean water is becoming harder to obtain as our worldwide consumption of water continues to grow. By injecting oxygen into your water system it can increase the effectivity of removing contaminants and impurities from your water supply. How do Oxygen Generators Work? Oxygen generators allow you to produce your own oxygen when and where you need it (versus relying on a liquid oxygen supply or depending on filled cylinders). By using Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) to generate oxygen, nitrogen is separated from the oxygen that is in the regular air. At On Site Gas Systems, our oxygen generators have a vessel that absorbs the nitrogen…

Glassblowing is a unique art that combines the skill of melting glass with the subtle blowing of air to form masterful decorations. However, in order to work properly, the flame that the glassblower uses must be a specific temperature. That’s where oxygen gas comes in. With the high purity of oxygen gas provided by our 95% O2 PSA on site oxygen generators, glassblowers can make sure their torches remain the proper temperature for their masterpiece. How They Use It As mentioned, glassblowers rely on oxygen as their fuel for the burners and torches they use to melt the glass. Basic compressed air just doesn’t produce the necessary heat. Oxygen is the only fuel source that will ensure the flame is hot enough to effectively and…

With National Dog Day right around the corner (August 26th), there is no better time than now to discuss why veterinarians need an onsite oxygen generation system. A 95% pure oxygen gas is used on animals both during and after any type of surgical procedure. It helps to keep the animal stable until they can effectively breathe for themselves. In a typical situation, the on site oxygen generator is installed outside of the vet clinic or hospital, with feed lines going in to each of the operating rooms, so it does not take up the minimal space in most surgery rooms. On site oxygen generation can be used effectively for both large and small veterinary clinics. Why On Site Oxygen for Vets Just like other…
