USAID donates two PCI’s oxygen generating plants to support the fight against COVID-19 in Haiti

Strengthening Healthcare Infrastructure with Sustainable Oxygen Solutions to Improve Patient Care and Combat the Pandemic

[Port-au-Prince] – The United States government, through the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), donated two PCI Gases’s oxygen generators with Vacuum Swing Adsorption (VSA) technology to Haiti. These oxygen generators will play a critical role in the national emergency response to COVID-19 by serving more than 750,000 people in hard-to-reach areas of northern Haiti. With emergency COVID-19 support, USAID has created a long-term sustainable solution for oxygen needs for Haiti.

U.S. Chargé d’Affaires, a.i. Eric W. Stromayer remarked, “The U.S. government continues to support the ongoing fight against COVID-19 in Haiti. We reiterate our commitment with this donation from the American people to fortify the medical oxygen ecosystem in Haiti.”

In early June, the two oxygen generating plants were delivered to Hôpital Centre de Bienfaisance de Pignon (CBP), in the North department, and Hôpital Notre Dame de la Paix de Jean-Rabel (HNDP), in the Northwest department of Haiti. USAID worked in collaboration with the National Coordination Unit for the Coronavirus Response, in French Cellule Nationale de Coordination de la Réponse au Coronavirus, of the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MSPP), to select these two hospitals to strategically meet the needs of Haitian people in hard-to-reach locations.

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.
