PCI’s High Altitude Testing shows it is lowest cost on-site solution for Mining Industry!

PCI’s RECENT SUCCESFUL HIGH ALTITUDE TEST DEMONSTRATED TO BE THE LOWEST COST ON SITE OXYGEN SOLUTION FOR THE MINING INDUSTRY
Cerro de Pasco, Peru (August 4, 2011) PCI, in collaboration with its distributor in Peru, OXITEC SAC , recently conducted a performance study in high altitude to demonstrate the efficiency of its technology. PCI´s oxygen generator, a DOCS 200 (which produces 12 m3/hour of 93% +/-3% purity) was taken to the city of Cerro de Pasco, Peru to an altitude of 4,400 meters. The results: no degradation in production or purity, same power consumption as at sea level, leading to the most cost effective solution for mining or other applications in high altitude. Oxygen is now available in remote mining areas for less than $0.10 / m3.

The use of oxygen has many applications like gold, silver, and zinc leaching, cyanide destruction, water and wastewater treatment, water remediation, oxygen enrichment for mining camps, among others. Oxygen is a powerful oxidizer in the leaching process, accelerating the process time and improving the recovery rate. It also is used to produce ozone for destruction of cyanide contained in process water where other chemicals don´t have the required effectiveness.

About PCI
PCI is a global leader in the design and manufacture of on-site gas separation systems. Based on existing technology used in its military oxygen generators, PCI has developed a commercial line of on-site oxygen generators, known as DOCS (Deployable Oxygen Concentration System). These systems utilize a proprietary Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) process. This technology offers the lowest operating cost and most reliable oxygen generator in its class, with outputs ranging from 4 m3/hour up to 1,000 m3/hour. These systems are built to be light weight, compact, and turn-key. Installation time is measured in hours and not days.
About Oxitec
Oxitec SAC, is based in Lima, Peru. Oxitec has been specializing in oxygen systems and services for the Peruvian market for more than 15 years.
