May 29, 2020 The air flow variable is mass flow, where the volumetric air flow measurement is compensated in real time for temperature and pressure. Flow and pressure instrumentation on the compressor must be installed with wet saturated process air in mind, in a manner that moisture does not accumulate in low points of the instruments’ tubing.
The major cost associated with the separation of air is the cost of electricity to compress the inlet air, which normally comprises 95% of the utility costs of a cryogenic plant. Thus, the goal of the design is to minimize the cost of compression. Process Description Figure 1 shows a BFD of the overall process

The oxygen can be separated as a pure product, or another gas can be used
Jul 20, 2013 Cryogenic air separation process is an energy intensive, low-temperature process which separates air into its component gases. Energy consumption of oxygen separation is an increasing function of oxygen purity. The cost of electric energy is the largest single operating cost incurred in air separation plants.

The PSA process nowadays is used for separation of the different gas mixtures. In recent years, use of this method was followed by researchers as a more important separation technique in the air separation, because generally the PSA process is more economical to other separation processes.
Flow separation or boundary layer separation is the detachment of a boundary layer from a surface into a wake. Separation occurs in flow that is slowing down, with pressure increasing, after passing the thickest part of a streamline body or passing through a widening passage, for example. Flowing against an increasing pressure is known as

are then separated with oscillating shaker screens and air separators. The separation process also removes undersized kernels and split kernels. Following crushing and hull/kernel separation, peanut kernels are sized and graded. Sizing and grading can be done by hand, but most mills use screens to size kernels and electric eye sorters for grading.
In addition, air can form pockets at the top of pipes and heating units. These air pockets can actually restrict or block flow in a hydronic piping system. This is referred to as “air locking”.
