CONT

Different Types of Air Separation Units(ASU). All Gaseous Product. On site gas generators are by far the most common type of ASU. These plants can produce oxygen only, oxygen and nitrogen or oxygen, nitrogen and argon or just nitrogen.... These units separate the air in liquid form... Gas generators typically produce between 10-2000 short tons of combined product. ;All Liquid Product.... All desired product is liquefied for shipment in cryogenic transport trailers or rail cars. Generally, these units make liquid oxygen(LOX), liquid nitrogen(LIN) and liquid argon(LAR), though in some oil/gas production areas there are large liquid nitrogen only ASUs.
