The production capacity of Motovilikhinsky plants allows producing up to 70 tons of medical oxygen per month. Having its own storage system for 28 tons allows you to create reserves. If the epidemiological situation with COVID-19 worsens, the one-time shipment can be further increased to 20 tons.

The first deliveries will be made to hospitals in the Kama region. Since 2022, the company expects to supply medical oxygen to neighboring regions.

Motovilikha is the only plant in the Perm Territory that produces liquid oxygen on an industrial scale. The company responded to the request of the regional authorities to work out the issue of licensing the production of oxygen for medical purposes. The creation of its own operator for its production in the territory of the Kama region will ensure the uninterrupted supply of hospitals and hospitals with oxygen for the treatment of patients with pneumonia and coronavirus infection, "said Dmitry Makhonin.[1]
