Abstract
An improved efficiency system for producing low purity oxygen by rectification of air employs a high pressure column and a low pressure column and includes the steps of: turboexpanding a flow of nitrogen-rich gas from the high pressure column to provide a cooled nitrogen-rich gas flow; condensing the cooled nitrogen-rich gas flow to a nitrogen-rich liquid against a flow of a vaporizing oxygen-rich liquid flow taken from the low pressure column; passing the nitrogen-rich liquid as a reflux flow to the low pressure column; returning the vaporizing oxygen liquid to the low pressure column; and employing energy derived from the turboexpanding step to compress feed air.
