The products are then available in gaseous and/or liquid form with a very high degree of purity.
Some examples of applications are:
NITROGEN: Refineries, chemical and petrochemical industries; float glass production; synthetic material production and processing; as cooling medium; etc.
OXYGEN: Metallurgy, welding, glass industry, etc.
ARGON: Inert gas for welding applications; gas mixing; solar and semiconductor industry; etc.
CO2: Stunning, extinguishing systems, etc…
DRY ICE: Cold storage of products free from contamination.
The raw material for the air separation process is ambient air with its main components: Oxygen, Nitrogen and Argon. The basis of air separation is a cryogenic distillation process in which compressed air is cooled to approximately -180° C and partially liquefied and its oxygen, argon and nitrogen components are separated by distillation.
The products are then available in gaseous and/or liquid form with a very high degree of purity.
