Medical and Industrial Gas Plant, Giza

President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi opened Medical and Industrial Gas Plant and Hydrogen Peroxide Plant with 50% concentration, at the headquarters of the Nasr Company for Intermediate Chemicals in Abu Rawash. The plant contributes to covering the local market’s needs for medical oxygen that is necessary for hospitals and medical centers and supports many productive projects. It also has industrial uses in the companies of petroleum products, paper and textiles, and a number of food and pharmaceutical industries. These projects have been implemented in cooperation with many civil companies.

The medical and industrial gas plant that was opened is the third factory of the company in the field of medical and industrial gas production, amid the growing importance of the products of these factories to cover the needs of the local market, the most important of which is the medical oxygen needed for hospitals and medical centers, especially in light of the continuous increase in the distinct product of the company Victory for Intermediate Chemicals. This is in addition to the importance of the factory's products of nitrogen and argon gases, which are necessary for many production operations, especially in industrial uses in petroleum product companies, and about the production capacity of the medical gas plant and Industrial.

The Director of National Service Projects confirmed that the plant amounts to about 2200 m^3 / hour of oxygen, 900 m^3 / hour of nitrogen and about 100 m ^3 /hour of argon gas.

The goal of establishing this factory is to cover the needs of the medical sector in light of the establishment of many new hospitals and the increasing demand for oxygen produced within the company. One of the goals also is to produce nitrogen and argon needed for industrial purposes and the production processes of petroleum and various factories. This need was clearly evident during the drilling of gas wells of Zohr Field since there was a high demand for argon gas, indicating the important role of the company and its clear contributions in supplying the Petroleum Projects and Technical Consultations Company “Petrojet” with these industrial gases.

By establishing this factory, the company's capacity to produce medical and industrial gases doubled. The medical and industrial gas plants produce annually 32 million liters of oxygen, 15 million liters of nitrogen, 1 million liters of argon, and  150 tons of medical nitrous oxide, 120 thousand m^3 of acetylene. The factory also supplies about one hundred specialized hospitals and medical centers with gas and liquid oxygen, in addition to supplying the Egyptian Ambulance Authority in Cairo and Giza with about 30 thousand oxygen gas cylinders annually. The company has created a new service for hospitals and specialized medical centers, which is the establishment of medical networks to deliver oxygen and air to patients' rooms, intensive care and operating rooms.
