ELM Series – Nitrogen & Oxygen Liquefiers

 

The ELM Series plants liquefy a stream of gaseous nitrogen and/or oxygen to produce liquid nitrogen and/or oxygen.  Production ranges from 150 to 10,000 Nm³/hr.

 

 

The liquefier can take a gas stream from most any feed source including an air separation plant or a non-cryogenic gas generator, to produce the liquid products. The ELM plant is designed to minimize shipping and allow for rapid installation by providing the plant in distinct pre-piped, pre-wired modules. The plant system is self-contained and can be completely installed outdoors. The plants require a source of cooling water, power supply and a simple foundation.

 

ELM Series

 

The ELM Liquefier produces sub-cooled liquid nitrogen and/or oxygen from a feed gas supply. It utilizes a refrigeration cycle in which nitrogen is compressed above the critical pressure and then expanded through turboexpanders. The unit is equipped with single or dual turboexpanders (> 500 Nm³/hr) for more efficient production.
