Large-scale air separation systems: cryogenics, pressure swing absorption (PSA) and membrane methods.

Author(s) : CASTLE W. F.

Summary

Such plants have single stream capacities of 3,000 to 4,000 tonnes of oxygen per day, often with co-production of nitrogen and argon. The largest tonnage capacities are based on cryogenic, low-temperature separation techniques and their applications and features, together with those of modern plants using pressure-swing adsorption, and membrane systems, are covered. The economic break-even points of the latter methods compared with cryogenic plants are mentioned.
