Air Separation Plants

Air separation plants are gas plants producing different varieties of gases by the process of air separation. Air separation plants produce the atmospheric industrial gases like oxygen, nitrogen, argon, helium, methane using air and electrical power as raw materials.

 

Air Separation Technology

Though there are differences in process details displaying desired product mix and other factors, all air separation plants make use one of the following two types of process technology:   

 

All manufacturers and suppliers involved with air separation plants deal with the design, fabrication, and construction of both cryogenic and non-cryogenic air separation plants. The main focus of the market in today's scenario is to supply independent operators of air separation systems with design, engineering, and operations support. In some cases this involve actual project work, and in some other it means providing design, engineering and supervision.

 

Capabilities of Air Separation Plants

Plant types offered by air separation plants include:

 

 

 Air Separation Plant Design

The basic elements considered in the design of an air separation plant are:

 

Besides that argon purification and/or product compression are also required. Air pretreatment systems make use of either temperature swing or pressure swing adsorption technologies and usually efficient in dealing with any environmental condition
