CryoGOX

In order to meet the demand for larger quantities of oxygen at low costs, Messer has developed the CryoGOX generator that operates on the principle of cryogenic air separation, albeit with internal product compression: the liquid oxygen is extracted from the low pressure column and pumped through the heat exchangers under pressure in order to cool the incoming air gases. The resulting stream of gaseous oxygen is available to customers at pressures of up to 20 bar. The main advantages of this concept are the non-requirement of an expensive oxygen compressor, high oxygen purity (99.6%) and the capability of cost-effective liquid nitrogen production for stockpiling.

The plant layout is based on the Messer safety and reliability philosophy which has been applied for over 20 years in operating air separation plants for the supply of customers world-wide.

The plant is designed for automatic control and automatic operation under normal operating conditions. All valves which must be adjusted while operation is on-going can be operated by remote control.

The plant will be designed according to the latest international rules and regulations. 

Oxygen generator CryoGOX designed for the production of oxygen in liquid or gaseous form from atmospheric air. The unit is especially beneficial for plants that use large volumes of oxygen gas.

Major feature of CryoGOX oxygen generator:

Reliable Backup Supply

A reliable supply from a backup source – just in case it is ever needed – is the icing on the cake of any on-site concept, allowing the customer to sleep soundly in terms of gas supplies, even when there are maintenance downtimes, power outages or other unforeseen events. Our regional logistics network with centrally managed pan-European coordination, combined with sophisticated production planning, ensures that every customer receives a reliable supply of technical gases from Messer, even during planned and unplanned downtimes.

Optional co-products for oxygen generator:

• Liquid oxygen
• Compressed dry air
• Residual air (enriched in oxygen)

APPLICATIONS

The CryoGOX oxygen generator produces oxygen with a purity of 93 to 99.6% (Availability < 99.9%), which allows it to be used for glass and metall production, fisheries, laser cutting, water purification and other industries including production of lithium-ion batteries.

Based on the requirements, wishes of the client and the agreed conditions, the CryoGOX oxygen generator with a backup system will be installed on the client's territory. The system allows to guarantee the continuous supply of the customer's production with gas of the required volume and pressure.
