The requirements of air separation unit for coal chemical industry are: first, large-scale requirements, because the scale of single unit oxygen production for coal chemical industry has far exceeded that of metallurgical and petrochemical industries; second, different projects have different requirements on process, product night and output, so it needs differentiated and diversified design and manufacture; third, it is not suitable to use single centrifugal compressor, but axial flow plus centrifugal type; fourth, it is necessary to design and manufacture air separation unit in different projects It is the requirement of column and other supporting static unit; the fifth is the requirement of core unit selection; the sixth is the requirement of safety and rapid response capability; the seventh is the requirement of manufacturing, transportation and installation.
