Air Compressor

2.Air pre cooling system:

Air separation plants adopts chilling system in all air pre- Cooling
systems.
3.Air purification system:
This system beds of molecular sieve are used in the air purification
system ,it remove the Co2 & moisture for the process air at lowPressure.

4.Rectification column:
The unit in cold box are all low pressure technology.This unit employs the
latest state of the art plate and fin exchanger,condenser and sub-coolers.The
Column is supplied as a packed unit complete with all the control systems
including digital flow meters,temperature,pressure available with high purity
upto 2-3 ppm nitrogen as a second product without loss in oxygen production.

5.Turbo-expander:
Turbo - expander is used for giving cooling to the air for the
liqefication process and braked by booster, so as to reduce the
expanded air volume,stablize the upper columns working
condition and reduce power consumption. The turbine expanders
have complete trouble free working and long life and reliability.
6.Computer control:
All the plants can be configured for automatic operation through a pc
this will use a out switching valves of German or Japanese and
motorized cryogenic valves on cold box.

PROCESS FLOW DIAGRAM

Basic Principle
The air separation plant is a plant recovering oxygen and nitrogen from air simultaeously.
It advance low pressure technology process of Boschi Italy using Rotary screw compressor
(or low oil free piston compressor)and turbo expanders.
The feed air entering the Molecular Sieve purification system employed to remove the
moisture and Co2 from the process air.The air is liquefied by cryogenic cooling using latest
plate and fin high efficiency heat exchangers and turbo expanders.The liquid air separates
into oxygen nitrogen and inert gases in the air separation column.
