Oxygen, nitrogen and argon are recovered from air using a cryogenic method developed by Carl von Linde more than 100 years ago. Particulates are removed from the incoming air, which is then repeatedly compressed and cooled. Water, hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide are then removed. With further processing, the air eventually becomes a liquid and the individual gases are separated by distillation. These plants are called air separation units, or ASUs. Many of the world's ASUs have been built by Linde's engineering division.
We produce superior products in more than 30 air separation (ASU) units within the Eastern U.S. We also source other gases and can deliver these in large, or bulk, quantities. Not only do we supply you with these gases, our cryogenic experts design and install the on-site integrated systems, drawing the product either as a cryogenic liquid or as a gas. Rely on our experience to analyze your requirements and design complete, effective solutions that allow your applications to run smoothly, safely and profitably. |
