Air separation and liquefaction: recent developments and prospects for the beginning of the new millennium.

Author(s) : CASTLE W. F.

Summary

Earlier advances include improvements in: overall product recovery, feed air purification, more efficient heat exchange, optimum plant control, gradual improvement in efficiency of compressors and expanders. More recent improvements include use of structured packing in distillation columns, molecular sieve adsorbents for air purification, computer simulation and control of plants, and increased machinery efficiency. Advances in fabrication and construction techniques are aimed at reducing capital costs. It is probably easier to establish the main principles on which these future developments will depend. Perhaps it may prove possible to predict the more important features of air separation and liquefaction, even if they are essentially based on advances in current technologies.
