Cryogenic air separation is an important industrial process that separates air into pure gas and liquid products. The global market for air separation plants is driven by growth in demand, especially from the iron & steel, oil & gas, chemical, healthcare, and other end-use industries.
The most important operational goals in automated air separation plants are to:
- Minimize production costs by reducing energy consumption and
- To ensure product quality
Cotmac has been instrumental in supporting major OEMs for control system design, supply, and installation for the Air separation plant.
Cotmac has done multiple installations with OEMs on various control system platforms. Our team’s capability and organizational structure oriented towards project execution enable us to deliver large-scale projects.
Cotmac also works with OEMs on digital transformation and engages with OEMs/end users on support and migration services of control systems.
The most common unit for air separation is the cryogenic air separation unit (ASU) which uses cryogenic distillation to produce high-purity nitrogen, oxygen, and often argon. Cryogenic separation gas products are separated from the air first by cooling until they liquefy, and then selectively distilling the components at their boiling points.
The selection and design of the control system is very crucial for such a complex process. We take pride in having worked on global projects that support environmental sustainability.
