Publication Overview
This report includes descriptions of cryogenic and membrane oxygen production processes, their components and their integration into power generation and synthesis gas production processes with CO₂ capture. Recent and potential future improvements in these oxygen production processes are discussed.The report was written by a consultant, Rodney Allam, formerly of Air Products. The report does not include information from confidential sources.
Publication Summary
The current developments in improved oxygen production techniques are expected to reduce significantly the costs of oxygen in plants with CO₂ capture. Cryogenic oxygen will still have a potential in the future for specific applications, particularly coal-fired oxy-combustion power plants.
