Selective plating technology and solutions provider, SIFCO Applied Surface Concepts (ASC), has completed the expansion of its Swedish facility.
For many readers of CryoGas International, Chart Industries, Inc. (chartindustries.com) is synonymous with the atmospheric gas industry through the design and manufacture of brazed aluminum heat exchangers (BAHX). These are used at various stages during the cryogenic air separation process, together with...
Last year, I estimated total 2012 world production of Kr would be 97 million liters, production of Xe at 10.5 million liters, and Ne production at about 625 million liters. In my follow up plant-by-plant analysis, I found that the...
The large quantities of atmospheric gases (oxygen and nitrogen) required in many industrial applications are effectively produced by cryogenic air separation units (ASU). The inputs to an ASU are atmospheric air, electrical power, and water for cooling. The outputs are oxygen...
In this issue we focus on improvements in process technologies used within the industrial gas industry that are raising energy efficiency and cutting costs. Praxair explains its new process technology for Direct Reduced Iron that uses a variety of fuels...
Recent announcements of domestic air separation unit expansions and builds indicate that 2012 is going to be a busy year for the US air gases markets. Changes in the economic landscape during 2011 have led to an increase in demand...
Rare gases, which include krypton (Ke), xenon (Xe), and neon (Ne), are byproducts of air separation units (ASUs) that produce large quantities of oxygen and nitrogen. Historically, to be economically feasible, the rule of thumb was that an ASU must...
Industrial gas producer Messer (www.messergroup.com) has built an air separation plant, the company’s largest in Europe, in Salzgitter, Germany for approximately EUR 50 million. This plant produces 28,000 Nm3 of oxygen per day, 40,000 Nm3 of nitrogen per day, and...
The separation of air into its simplest components is practiced on an industrial scale using cryogenic distillation in addition to adsorption and membranes. The inputs to an air separation unit (ASU) are air, electrical power, and cooling water. The outputs...
