Air Separation ProcessRev1

The document describes the Carl von Linde Double-Column Rectifier process for producing high purity liquid oxygen and nitrogen. The process involves feeding compressed dry air into a low pressure column where it is separated into 99.5% pure liquid oxygen at 5 psig and 99.5% pure liquid nitrogen at 75 psig. The crude liquid oxygen is further purified in a high pressure column to reach approximately 45% purity at 75 psig.
