Help! Power consumption issues in factory oxygen production plants?
Thread Content
Could some experienced colleague tell me: how many kilowatt-hours of electricity are required per cubic meter of oxygen produced by a 3800-unit oxygen generator and a 10,000-unit oxygen generator? Thank you
Whether a compressor is driven by a turbine or by an electric motor makes a difference in terms of power consumption. The main issue here is the cost of oxygen production; for small-scale air separation units, this cost can be estimated at 0.4–0.5 KWh/O2. I would appreciate any advice from those with experience in this field. Thank you!
