Cryogenic Air Separation Plant
The cryogenic air separation plant produced by Shenger Gas is a highly integrated system engineering. It "decomposes" air into its component gases through a series of precise processes such as compression, purification, cooling, and distillation. Our product lines range from small nitrogen production units of tens of cubic meters per hour to large cryogenic air separation plants of tens of thousands of cubic meters per hour. We can tailor solutions for customers that best meet their flow and purity needs.
Core technical principles
The basic principle of cryogenic air separation technology is to use the different boiling points of various components in the air (mainly nitrogen, oxygen, and argon) to achieve separation through deep freezing and distillation.
1. Air compression and purification: After the ambient air is filtered to remove dust, it is compressed to working pressure by the main air compressor, and then enters the molecular sieve purification system to completely remove impurities such as moisture, carbon dioxide, and hydrocarbons.
2. Heat exchange and cooling: The purified air exchanges heat with the returning low-temperature product gas in the main heat exchanger and is cooled to close to the liquefaction temperature.
3. Distillation separation: The liquefied air enters the distillation tower system. In the fractionating tower, since the boiling point of oxygen (-183°C) is higher than the boiling point of nitrogen (-196°C), oxygen is enriched into liquid oxygen at the bottom of the tower, while nitrogen is enriched into gaseous nitrogen at the top of the tower. Through the multi-stage mass transfer and heat transfer of the tower plates, high-purity liquid oxygen is finally obtained at the bottom of the tower, and high-purity gas nitrogen is obtained at the top of the tower. Further separation can also extract rare gases such as liquid argon.
4. Product output: The separated oxygen, nitrogen and other products can be stored and transported in liquid or gaseous form.

- Operating Temperature Range: The core unit operates at a cryogenic environment of -175°C to -195°C.
- Energy Consumption Indicator: By optimizing process design and employing efficient turbo expanders, Sheng'er Gas achieves industry-leading power consumption per unit of product. For instance, the specific power consumption for large-scale oxygen plants can be as low as 0.35 ~ 0.45 kWh/Nm³ O₂.
Maintenance and service
To ensure the long-term stable operation of air separation equipment, regular maintenance is crucial:
- Daily inspection: Check compressor vibration and temperature, molecular sieve switching program, and detect liquid pump sealing gas.
- Regular maintenance: Regularly replace air filter elements, lubricating oil, molecular sieves and catalysts.
- Key note: Strictly prevent the accumulation of hydrocarbons in liquid oxygen, and regularly analyze the content of acetylene and other hydrocarbons to ensure safety.
