Oxygen Production Costs - Q2 2023
Oxygen Operating Costs & Plants Capital Investment
Oxygen (a.k.a. O2) is a nonmetallic element and one of the most abundant elements on Earth’s surface, accounting for approximately 23 wt% of the atmosphere, 86 wt% of seawater, and 47 wt% of the Earth’s crust. Under standard conditions, Oxygen is a diatomic gas with molecular formula O2. It is a very important oxidizing agent that forms oxides with most elements.
Intratec offers professional, easy-to-understand reports examining Oxygen production costs. Each study describes an industrial plant, including main process units and site infrastructure, and presents an independent analysis of capital and operating costs. All reports are based on the most recent economic data available (Q2 2023).
Gaseous Oxygen from Air (Cryogenic Process)
This study provides a techno-economic analysis of a typical cryogenic distillation process for Oxygen production using atmospheric air as the starting material. Oxygen main product and nitrogen co-product are produced as high pressurized gases. The economic analysis presented assumes a plant located in the United States.
Details: 800 MM Nm3a United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Oxygen E11A target a 800 MM Nm3a (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Gaseous and Liquid Oxygen Production
This report examines the economics of a typical cryogenic distillation process for Oxygen production in a plant located in the United States, using atmospheric air as the starting material. The process presented in this report also produces argon as by-product. Nitrogen and the majority of the Oxygen produced are supplied in gaseous phase. Oxygen is also supplied in liquid phase, as well as all argon produced.
Details: 800 MM Nm3a United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Oxygen E12A target a 800 MM Nm3a (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
Gaseous Oxygen from Air (Vacuum Swing Adsorption Process)
This report presents a feasibility analysis of Oxygen production in the United States, using atmospheric air as the starting material. In this case, a typical vacuum swing adsorption process is applied for the production of low purity Oxygen. In this process, switching beds, each containing two strata, absorb water, carbon dioxide and nitrogen from the air, yielding low purity oxygen.
Details: 40 MM Nm3a United States-based plant | Q2 2023 | 106 pages From $799 USD
The cost analyses presented in the report Oxygen E13A target a 40 MM Nm3a (kilometric tons per annum) United States-based plant. For those interested in cost analyses considering other plant capacities and/or locations, Intratec offers a customized analysis as an optional feature.
