According to Health Secretary Marcelo Lopes, the plant has a production capacity of one thousand cubic meters per day – half of what the state currently needs. It produces O2 from electricity, and therefore, the secretary asserts that there should be no reduction in spending.
“The initiative came from Eneva, and we [government] knowing that they had ISO containers [metal boxes], requested their use to source oxygen from elsewhere because they served the state of Amazonas and offered to donate a plant,” Marcelo Lopes said.
