The Fractional Distillation of Liquid Air

An air separation unit is often called an oxygen or nitrogen generator since its purpose is to extract one or both of these elements from the air. In the distillation process, the air is first passed through a filter that absorbs all the water vapour.

An air separation plant separates atmospheric air into its primary components, typically nitrogen and oxygen, and sometimes also argon and other rare inert gases. The most common method for air separation is fractional distillation.
