Packaged Type Oxygen Plant

Abstract

Most of oxygen being consumed today in Japan, is produced by the cryogenic air separation process which is represented by the name of "Linde process". The cryogenic process has been in use over 70 years but cryogenic process plant is an elaborate and complex plant to operate. Because it is operated under high pressure which requires a supervisory engineer and skilled labours. Oxygen produced in a large oxygen plant of the cryogenic process is usually transported either in heavy steel cylinders in gaseous state or by tank lorry trucks in liquid state. The transport of oxygen by these vessels to consumers for a long distance is not only troublesome but it makes the oxygen price very expensive.
