What is the best gas storage solution for hospitals?

The best gas storage solution for hospitals depends on safety, reliability, uninterrupted supply, and compliance with healthcare regulations. Universal Air Products offers tailored gas storage systems that meet the critical needs of medical facilities, ensuring patient safety and operational efficiency.

Hospitals commonly rely on medical gases like oxygen (O₂), nitrous oxide (N₂O), carbon dioxide (CO₂), medical air, and vacuum systems. These gases must be stored and delivered through a centralized pipeline system with backup support to avoid any disruption in care.

Universal Air Products specializes in bulk cryogenic tanks, high-pressure cylinder manifolds, and modular storage systems for hospitals. Their solutions include:

• Bulk Oxygen Tanks: Ideal for large hospitals, cryogenic tanks store liquid oxygen at extremely low temperatures, which is then vaporized and piped throughout the hospital. This reduces refilling frequency and ensures a continuous supply.

• Manifold Cylinder Banks: For smaller facilities or as a backup system, banks of oxygen or other gas cylinders connected via automatic switchover manifolds ensure uninterrupted flow.

• Medical Air Systems: Universal Air Products provides medical-grade air compressors and storage tanks, filtered and dried to meet healthcare standards.

• Redundant Backup Systems: Safety-compliant backup systems, alarms, and monitoring panels ensure gas delivery even during power failures or system faults.

• Compliance & Certifications: All equipment from Universal Air Products adheres to HTM 02-01, NFPA 99, and other global healthcare gas storage standards.

By integrating advanced technology, real-time monitoring, and scalable storage capacity, Universal Air Products delivers cost-effective, safe, and regulation-compliant gas storage solutions customized for hospitals.
