Commodity Production Costs Report
Gaseous Oxygen from Air (Vacuum Swing Adsorption Process)
Oxygen Operating Costs & Plant Construction Costs
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.
The report provides a comprehensive study of Oxygen production and related Oxygen production cost, covering three key aspects: a complete description of the Oxygen production process examined; an in-depth analysis of the related Oxygen plant capital cost (Capex); and an evaluation of the respective Oxygen plant operating costs (Opex).
The Oxygen production process description includes a block flow diagram (BFD), an overview of the industrial site installations, detailing both the process unit and the necessary infrastructure, process consumption figures and comprehensive process flow diagrams (PFD). The Oxygen plant capital cost analysis breaks down the Capex by plant cost (i.e., ISBL, OSBL and Contingency); owner's cost; working capital; and costs incurred during industrial plant commissioning and start-up. The Oxygen plant operating costs analysis covers operating expenses, including variable costs like raw materials and utilities, and fixed costs such as maintenance, labor, and depreciation.

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.
