PCI Gases and Direct Relief: Expanding Access to Life-Saving Medical Oxygen in Liberia

Resilient Power and Medical Oxygen Enhance Lifesaving Care in Southwestern Liberia

Liberians in the country’s southeast rely on F.J. Grante Memorial Hospital as their only access to emergency surgeries and critical treatment. A new project, funded by Direct Relief, will provide resilient power and a reliable medical oxygen supply using PCI Gases’ technology to support all the hospital’s clinical needs.

We are proud to see PCI Gases’ oxygen technology contributing to Direct Relief’s incredible work in southwestern Liberia. This new initiative—a solar-powered oxygen system—will ensure a steady, life-saving supply of medical oxygen. By eliminating the challenges of unreliable supply chains, this project is transforming healthcare access in the region.

At PCI Gases, we’re honored to support this effort by providing on-site oxygen generation solutions that help hospitals and clinics become more resilient and self-sufficient. A huge thank you to Direct Relief and all partners involved in making this project a reality. Together, we’re bringing breath to those who need it most!

VSA Technology

To produce oxygen from air, PCI uses a proprietary Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) process that eliminates many of the design problems associated with traditional on-site gas separation systems (PSA). Our innovative VSA system eliminates the need for process valves, feed air compressors, associated dryers and feed air filtering systems. Our robust VSA oxygen process extracts maximum sieve and power efficiencies = low cost (both CapX and OpX) high purity oxygen generation. Oxygen produced is 93% purity. Additional product/systems features include load following, remote monitoring and diagnostics along with an industry only 10-year warranty on the adsorber bed vessel. Average life span of our systems is 10-15+ years.
