MMK constructs the air separation unit for 4.2 bln roubles
The new air separation unit will be constructed at the site of the station #5 of the oxygen shop of MMK by mid 2018. The value of the project is 4.2 bln roubles.
The unit will produce 35 thousand cubic m of industrial oxygen, 30 thousand cubic m of pure azote, about 1 thousand cubic m of argon an hour for the needs of MMK.
MMK will increase the capacity on the production of air separation products due to the construction of a new continuous hot zincing unit. The unit will also produce products by means of air separation under pressure, without the use of additional oxygen or azote compressors. It will allow to save about 10 mW of electric energy an hour or about 10%.
The modern unit which combines the development of cryogenic car manufacturing was worked out by the Kriogenmash plant (Moscow region). Over a half of the necessary equipment has been shipped to the plant already.
