The air separation process separates atmospheric air into three gaseous elements – nitrogen, oxygen, and argon. Further separation is required for quantities of noble gases such as neon, krypton, and xenon.
At an industrial level, this process is carried out by an air separation unit( ASU), most commonly using cryogenic distillation.
Accurate gas analysis is essential for ASU applications, improving process control, safety, and product quality.
Additionally, the maintenance of product purity is essential between the separation process and product transportation by pipeline or vehicle. This requires highly accurate trace measurements for a range of impurities to ensure that quality is maintained at the highest possible standards.
Servomex’ s analyzers are used and specified by all leading ASU plant operators and, using the widest selection of technologies, empower the industrial gases sector to achieve the measurement ranges required.
Our Paramagnetic, Zirconia, Gas Filter Correlation, Infrared, Tunable Diode Laser, Flame Ionization Detector, Plasma Emission Detector, and Coulometric sensors provide the complete application measurements required to control the process, ensure product purity, and guarantee plant safety.
