CanGas Oxygen-Enriched Systems Enhance Bank Employee Health and Work Efficiency

High-Altitude Hypoxia Impacts Employee Wellbeing and Productivity

Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, situated on the transitional zone between the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and the Loess Plateau, has an average elevation exceeding 3,000 meters. The region’s prolonged harsh winters and thin air result in oxygen levels just 58% of those found in inland areas. For years, high-altitude hypoxia has adversely affected the physical and mental health of employees at the Agricultural Bank of China’s Gannan Branch. Common symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, and drowsiness not only diminished work efficiency but also compromised quality of life.

Diffusive Oxygen Supply Creates "Oxygen-Rich Work & Living Spaces"

Prioritizing employee welfare as a cornerstone of team cohesion and organizational excellence, the Gansu Branch Party Committee recognized health optimization as critical to sustaining high-quality development.

In response to the challenges of the plateau environment, the branch conducted rigorous research and selected Beijing CAN GAS Systems Company Limited to design and install a high-altitude diffusive oxygen supply system for its Maqu and Luqu sub-branches. CAN GAS responded with tailored solutions after thorough needs assessment, delivering a comprehensive oxygen supply framework that fully integrates office and residential zones. This innovation mitigates oxygen deficiency risks while providing employees a breathable environment comparable to lowland areas.

The project employs containerized PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) oxygen systems requiring no dedicated server rooms, featuring exceptional adaptability to extreme plateau conditions and broad temperature resilience. Finished oxygen is delivered via pipeline networks to indoor terminals, enabling 24/7 dynamic oxygen production. The solution ensures safe, stable operations with rapid deployment—perfectly aligning with high-altitude practical demands.

Remarkable Outcomes and Elevated Team Morale

Post-implementation feedback confirms significant improvements:
● Alleviation of altitude sickness symptoms (headaches, chest tightness, dizziness);
● Enhanced cognitive focus and sustained energy levels during tasks;
● Improved sleep quality and measurably higher blood oxygen saturation.

Employee testimonials highlight transformative impact:
“Working in oxygenated offices and dormitories now feels physically lighter—and mentally clearer,” shared a veteran staff member. Another employee noted, “My parents instantly felt reassured about my health when I told them about the oxygen system installation.”

Future Expansion Plans

Following successful operations at Maqu and Luqu branches—with CAN GAS products and services earning widespread acclaim—the Agricultural Bank of China Gannan Branch will extend the CanGas system to its headquarters and partner urban branches. This initiative aims to create a fully oxygen-enriched workplace ecosystem, perpetually safeguarding employee wellbeing while energizing team dynamism.
