Massy Gas Products (Guyana) Ltd (MGPGL) on Thursday commissioned an Air Separation Plant at its East Bank Demerara facility which is intended to meet the country’s oxygen and nitrogen needs.

A release from the company said that the  liquid oxygen and nitrogen plant has a production capacity of 13 tons per day and is designed to meet the growing demands of Guyana’s medical and industrial sectors.

The state-of-the-art plant has been operational since 2023. The release said that it  produces liquid oxygen with a purity of 99.9%, surpassing the standards required for both medical and industrial applications. The nitrogen gas produced has an oxygen content level of 0.15 parts per million, surpassing the 10 ppm O2 specifications local beverage companies and other industry users need.
