system with air oxidation results in a number of bene,ts savings ininvestment costs and resources / leading to reduced environmental impact/ can be achieved because of the possibility of using signi,cantly smallerapparatus# highly positive eects on selectivity in many cases and asubstantially smaller exit7gas stream. *he last point alone often yields aconsiderable saving in fuel and an associated reduction in 4O1 emissions.
*he use of supplemental oxygen fre+uently results in a substantial boost inthe productivity of an existing plant that employs air oxidation. In manycases# corresponding oxygen enrichment of the process air# whichcommonly can be reali3ed with only minor eort# represents a verypromising way to intensify the process. -ains in capacity typically rangebetween 08 and 09 percent.
"uch an increase in productivity can often be achieved by simply in$ecting-O5 into the process air ducting. *he added e+uipment cost for this mode
of oxygen enrichment is comparatively slight.
(ll three options for oxygen supply / dedicated on7site generation# li+ue,edgas supply and pipeline network / are used in petro chemistry.
*he oxidation of li+uid p7xylene to terephthalic acid# a key feedstock formany polyesters# plays a ma$or role in the petrochemical industry. In this airoxidation process# oxygen enrichment is increasingly employed to boostcapacity. :ost production units have capacities between088# 888 and
0#888#888 tons per year. !nriching the inlet air to19 vol. ; oxygen thus callsfor several million year of oxygen capacity. (mong the salient eectsthat come with additional use of -O5 is a capacity increase of more than 18;.
( variety of heterogeneous gas7phase oxidations are candidates for the useof technologies with gas recycle where only -O5 is employed as oxidi3ingagent. *he highly advantageous setting here / in comparison to processeswithout gas recycle# which normally involve the use of process air/ means inparticular a much7increased product selectivity and substantially less o7
gas. *oday# with hardly an exception anywhere in the world# the processesemployed for oxidation of ethylene to produce ethylene oxide and vinylacetate make exclusive use of -O5. Processes with gas recycle also holdgreat interest for the oxidative chemical treatment of light saturatedhydrocarbons or ?fuel grade@ feedstock%s.
"uch processes have already been implemented on an industrial scale# asfor example in the oxidation of ethane to acetic acid.

*his situation is mainly due to regulations calling for the production of?clean fuels@# especially originating from desulphuri3ation re+uirements.Present H1 sourcing options rank considerably lower than syngas in terms ofthe +uantity of H1 produced or recovered.
( key re+uirement for H1 generation is reliably steady product +uality#which depends mainly on two factors 4atalyst performance in steamreforming# the predominating technology for H1 production 'in particular#catalyst poisons# such as "7containing compounds# must be minimi3ed inthe feed). :inimi3ation of impurities and by7products in the H1 product tomeet the demands of the processes supplied with this gas. (ccordingly# thecontent of 4O has to be kept very low in some hydrogenation processes# e.g. below one ppmv.

(notherinteresting approach for bulk use of this gas seems to be the dehydrogenationof saturated hydrocarbons where 4O1 could have potential asa supporting oxidant 'see e. g. 11J). "uch an application# however# doesnot appear to have been commercialised yet.

*he industrial gases industry# attends to a very large number of customers
in the entire community. Industrial gases are vital for most of the
manufacturing operations. Barge amounts of oxygen# nitrogen and argon are
used in the metal and steel industry. :arine and the automotive industryuse 7 acetylene# propane# mixtures of fuel gases and oxygen for cutting and
soldering. Bi+uid nitrogen is important for recycling of plastics# packing and
scrapping of tires. *he chemical industry uses most of the ma$or industrial
gases as raw materials for inerting. *he smaller market segment consists of
