Abstract

Dans un procédé de production d'oxygène par distillation d'air alimenté par de l'air à la pression atmosphérique pour produire un premier et un second débits d'air pressurisés, une première unité d'épuration (5), une deuxième unité d'épuration (7), les premier et second débits d'air pressurisés sortant du moyen de compression à une première et deuxième pression, les première et deuxième pressions étant à des pressions différentes d'au moins 0,5 bar, on envoie le premier débit d'air pressurisé d'une première sortie du moyen de compression à la première unité d'épuration à la première pression pour produire un premier débit d'air épuré, on envoie le premier débit d'air épuré de la première unité d'épuration à une colonne du système de colonnes (15), on envoie le deuxième débit d'air épuré de la deuxième unité d'épuration à une colonne du système de colonnes au moins sous forme partiellement condensée, on soutire un liquide riche en oxygène du système de colonnes, on le vaporise par échange de chaleur au moins avec le deuxième débit épuré et on le fournit comme produit.
