Significance of an air separation unit in your project
Supply of oxygen is a key element of all large-scale GTL projects currently in operation or approved around the world.  These projects have shown that the air separation unit (ASU) supplying oxygen - and safety-critical nitrogen - can represent up to 30% of the total ISBL capital requirement and be significant consumers of energy.  Capital cost, efficiency and reliability are therefore key design characteristics of ASUs serving GTL applications and a successful project requires that ASU specification be considered carefully and at an early stage.  Air Products has the expertise to work with you to develop the best solution for your project.

Put Air Products experience in ASUs to work for you.
Air Products has an unbeaten reputation for quality in the design, manufacture, and operation of air separation plants and equipment.  Our cryogenic experience ranges from plants with capacities of about 50 tons per day to single train facilities with oxygen production capacities of 4,500 tons per day.  Since its creation in the 1940s, Air Products has designed and built more than 1,200 oxygen plants.  You can benefit from our experience in the reliable supply of oxygen and nitrogen.. 

Air Products currently owns and operates over 300 air separation plants in over 30 countries worldwide.  Experience obtained in operating these facilities is applied to improve the plants we sell.  The equipment and technology we employ is state-of-the-art yet proven in operation.  Our approach to process cycle and machinery selection will take into account your need for cost-effectiveness, reliability and flexibility to meet future needs.
