Abstract

Oxygen production from air has wide applications in oxygen-intensive industries, such as energy production (e.g., IGCC and oxy-combustion systems), fuels, chemicals, and other industries. Cryogenic distillation, pressure swing adsorption, polymeric and ionic transport membrane technologies have been used for air separation. Among these technologies, cryogenic distillation is the most mature technology for large scale and high purity (>99%) O2 production. However, cryogenic distillation-based air separation is costly and energy-intensive to operate, accounting for up to 15% of the total gasification plant capital cost, and consuming over 35% of in-plant power use.
