“The oxygen in PT TeL must be studied first in order to meet the requirements and standardization of eligibility from the relevant agencies so that it is safe for general consumption for people who need it,” he said.

Regarding oxygen, Hiroyuki Moriyasu said that as a form of concern for the company in an oxygen emergency condition and several hospitals around the factory location desperately need oxygen supply at this time.

“The company has an Oxygen gas purification facility (Oxygen Plant) with oxygen purity reaching 90% and has tried to make an oxygen cylinder filling facility but with a limited pressure of 12 bar,” he explained.

He continued, when filled into a 6 m3 oxygen tube, it could be used as oxygen therapy for 2.5 hours. “If the purity level of PT TeL’s Oxygen gas has met the requirements of the quality of Oxygen from the Oxygen Concentrator, the Company needs to carry out additional testing and fulfill several other parameters in Permenkes No. 4 of 2016,” he explained.
