COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.

This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of cryogenic air separation plants operation and maintenance. For further treatment of primary and intermediate materials, large amounts of oxygen and nitrogen are required by many industries, such as chemical and petrochemical, metal, semiconductor and food industry, in machine construction and many others. Oxygen and nitrogen are, together with Argon, the main constituents of ambient air. They are obtained from there by means of the air separation technology in highly automated air separation plants. Further, the course will also discuss the overview for cryogenic and ASU history; the process of cryogenic air separation; the cryogenic air separation process in boiling points of the components to separate air into the desired products oxygen, nitrogen and argon; the basic principal for ASU process and rectification (theory, formula, thermodynamics); and the filtering compressing and purifying of ambient air during cryogenic air separation.

During this interactive course, participants will learn the rectification (separation) and the process detail for production of various gaseous (O2, N2, Ar) with ASU; the process detail, technology, description and operational parameters for ASU units (compression, Filtration, refrigerant unit, purification unit, expander unit and cooling engine, main exchanger, rectification, condenser, storage); the basic control principal for ASU process; the system for HC, CO2, water, O2; and the risk and safety item for ASU process, product and storage.
