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.

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.

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.
