Liquid Oxygen/Nitrogen Plants


Theory

Introduction:

BDM Cryofusion & Mandressi ITALIA is one of the Leading Manufacturers of Air Separation Plants with Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS) quality approval and ISO 9001:2000 certification.

We are manufacturers of Latest Low Pressure Air Separation Plants of the Brand Cryofusion and Mandressi Italia and employ the latest Low Pressure Turbo Technology Series Air Separation Plants of Cryofusion and Mandressi operating at a working pressure of 6 to 8 bar.

Our company uses Rotary Screw type Air Compressors of Atlas Copco and a very efficient Air Separation Column (Cold Box) for achieving 99.9% yield to give a waste Nitrogen purity of nitrogen gas at the outlet of the cold box as low as 3 Parts per million.


We along with the team of cryogenic engineers of Cryofusion and Mandressi Italia have more than 50 years of experience in the field of Design, Manufacturing, Installation and Commissioning of all types of Oxygen - Nitrogen Air Separation Plants all over the world with a vast range capacities from 20 m3 per hour to 20,000 m3 per hour.

The cryogenic liquid Oxygen/Nitrogen plant available in size from 50 m³/hr (70 liter/hour) to 500 cum/hr (700 liters/hour) capacity. It is safe and efficient to operate and the oxygen confirms to North American and European Pharma copia and standards.

The output of Liquid Oxygen can be stored in a liquid oxygen tank. Liquid Nitrogen can be available as a by product simultaneously up to 99.99% (PPM GRADE) purity.

The plant is extremely versatile and all the possible product variants are possible you can either take 100% Liquid oxygen out put or 50% Liquid oxygen output directly into cylinders or 50% Liquid oxygen and 50% Liquid nitrogen.

Process Description

STEP I: Air is sucked by a multi stage air compressor and passed through the following stages.
STEP II: COMPRESSION OF AIR
This is performed by the multistage highly efficient air compressor.
STEP III: PURIFICATION OF AIR
This is performed by the Process Skid.
STEP IV: COOLING & LIQUIFICATION OF AIR
This is performed by a highly efficient expansion engine and also by a refrigeration unit (for 100% liquid output).
STEP V: AIR SEPARATION (RECTIFICATION)
This is performed by the special AIR SEPARATION UNIT consisting of upper column, lower column and special exchangers. The separation air is by the CRYOGENIC PROCESS. The final product from a liquid Oxygen/Nitrogen goes to the storage tank.
STEP VI: CRYOGENIC STORAGE TANKS
Cryogenic Vessels are designed for storage and transport of liquid gases at sub-zero temperatures. Manufacturing of such cryogenic tanks requires special technical know how and sophisticated fabrication techniques. We have developed the necessary technology and has been manufacturing cryogenic vessels.
