Ruggedized Oxygen Generator
(ROG)
Chemical oxygen generator providing 90 liters
of breathable oxygen
Applications
Properties
Safe supply of emergency medical grade oxygen for critical life
support and revitalization in the following applications:
• First responders / emergency response
The oxygen producing chemical is sodium chlorate
• Self contained chemical oxygen generator requires no
maintenance during storage
• The unit is started with an integrated phosphorous match
• Based on a proven design it produces 90 liters of breathable
oxygen @ NTP over approximately 15 minutes
Dimensions
• Associated with a high degree of safety due to the
absence of pressurized gases
Depth x width (inches) 4.02” x 4.02” (102 x 102 mm)
Height (inches)
13.70” (348 mm)
Weight (lbs)
circa. 3.53lbs (1.6 kg)
• 380 liters oxygen per liter storage space @ NTP
• Flexible operating envelope
• Portable and easy to use
• Handheld operation
• Unpressurized and non-explosive
• Heat source combats onset of shock
How it works
Oxygen is produced by the thermal decomposition of sodium
chlorate. This decomposition requires a significant amount of
energy input to drive the chlorate decomposition. The source
of this energy is the oxidation of iron powder (formulated with
the sodium chlorate as a fuel). The initial energy input from
the interaction between chlorate and primer is generated by
the initiation mechanism, in this case a phosphorous match.

Additional information
Packaging, transportation & disposal
Oxygen generators are classified as hazardous UN 3356, class 5.1 oxidizer, packing group II, and are packed in accordance
with IATA regulations for airfreight (not passenger aircraft) or IMDG regulations for seafreight (special rules apply in the USA).
Spent oxygen generators are classed as non-hazardous and can be disposed of to landfill by a specialist waste contractor.
