Product Overview
The Large Capacity Cryogenic Nitrogen Plant developed by SINNA GAS is a fully engineered industrial Air Separation Unit (ASU) designed for continuous large-scale production of high-purity nitrogen gas (N₂) and liquid nitrogen (LIN) from atmospheric air.
This system is based on proven cryogenic distillation technology, widely adopted in global industrial gas infrastructure, petrochemical complexes, steel plants, and energy sectors.
Unlike PSA or membrane nitrogen systems, cryogenic ASU plants are designed for:
- Large-scale nitrogen consumption (>500 Nm³/h)
- Ultra-high purity requirements (up to 99.9999%)
- Continuous 24/7 industrial operation
- Lowest cost per Nm³ at industrial scale
SINNA GAS provides full EPC (Engineering, Procurement & Construction) solutions, including:
Process design, manufacturing, installation supervision, commissioning, and lifecycle technical support.
Core Engineering Value
Cryogenic nitrogen production is based on air liquefaction and fractional distillation at ultra-low temperatures (-170°C to -196°C).
This allows precise separation of nitrogen, oxygen, and argon based on boiling point differences.
Industrial Standard ASU
The SINNA GAS Cryogenic Nitrogen Plant follows a proven industrial ASU process:
Air Compression System
Atmospheric air is compressed using centrifugal or screw compressors.
Pre-Purification Unit (PPU)
Removal of:
- Moisture (H₂O)
- Carbon dioxide (CO₂)
- Hydrocarbons
This ensures safe operation of cryogenic equipment.
Cryogenic Cooling System
Air is cooled via:
- Plate-fin heat exchangers
- Expansion turbine (energy recovery system)
- Joule-Thomson expansion process
Fractional Distillation Column
Air is separated based on boiling points:
- Nitrogen: -196°C (top product)
- Oxygen: -183°C (bottom product)
Product Recovery System
Nitrogen is delivered as:
- Gaseous Nitrogen (GAN)
- Liquid Nitrogen (LIN optional)
- High-pressure nitrogen (with booster system)
