11 May 2021 Evaluate

Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) is converting 14 liquefied natural gas (LNG) tankers into medical grade oxygen carriers as the nation's largest oil firm steps in to augment oxygen-carrying capacity in the country to aid COVID patients. It had previously diverted high-purity oxygen used in its Mono Ethylene Glycol (MEG) unit to produce medical-grade liquid oxygen at its Panipat refinery and petrochemical complex. In the face of a massive surge in demand for medical oxygen, the throughput of the unit has also been scaled down to serve the more critical cause.

Presently, it is supplying 270 tonnes of LMO per day to the hospitals in Delhi, Haryana and Punjab.

IOC is the largest enterprise in the country and the foremost ranked Fortune Global 500 Company in India and has presence in the complete hydrocarbon value chain from downstream refining & marketing, pipeline transportation, Petrochemicals, E&P and Gas Marketing.
