Abstract

«Cryogenmash» modern air separation plants (ASP) for technical oxygen are being examined. The peculiarities of technological schemes and devices constructions used in them are being marked. Technical parameters, ASP specifications and also mass and size parameters of cold units, complex purification units and other equipment are being stated. Schematic circuit of technical oxygen plant with products internal compression has been considered. Explosion safety issues of air separation plants have been discussed. Following the air pre-cooling system the possibility of capital and operating costs reduction in addition to plants with pure nitrogen small waste has been shown. Specific power consumption in technical oxygen production of different ASP has been compared. Ways of top column hydraulic resistance reduction and main features of argon unit starting mode for argon production plants have been discussed.
