• The atmosphere consists of approximately 78% nitrogen (N2), 21% oxygen
(O2) and 1% argon (Ar).
• Several industries require pure nitrogen, oxygen or argon for their
production processes.
• Cryogenic Air Separation is the process that enables the separation of
these compounds.
• It filters dust and moisture from the air.
• Several compressor stages and heat exchangers increase the pressure of
the filtered air, resulting in liquid air.
• After the last stage, the liquid air moves to a distillation column.

• Liquid nitrogen exits at the top of the distillation column, whilst the liquid
oxygen and argon come out at the bottom.
• The now maximally compacted substanced may then be transported to the
customer.
• If the customer whishes to evaporate the fluids, for example into gas
required for a production process, he will need heat exchangers, which we
supply.

Challenge / question
• To what degree are we able to supply
high-quality air coolers and heat
exchangers required for Cryogenic Air
Separation?
• Our Solution
• After every stage, our air coolers further
cool the hot and humid air with cooling
water.
• We individually design them, tailored to
all requirements, and we provide a
discharge for the condensate, resulting
from the cooling, ie selfdraining by
gravitation.
Air Separation Units Case

Absorption or Air Separation Units refrigeration?
Refrigerant condenser or evaporator? You choose.
Our Solution
• Our heat exchangers evaporate fluids
using water from the surroundings.
• However, this type of cooling could
cause water to freeze to the sides of
the tubes.
• Our special design ensures that this
does not damage the heat exchangers.
• Also, they are manufactured from
stainless steel so that they are cold-
resistant.
• The tube diameter is extra large in
order to avoid the tubes freezing up
since water expands when it is
freezes.
• High temperature differences cause a
large amount of tension in the tube
heads.
• As gaskets may leak, we use high-
quality welding for the entire head.
