The POPLAR air separation plant produces liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen, and, as an option, liquid argon suitable for all industrial sectors, including medical applications.  Nikkiso Cosmodyne’s nearly 50 years of experience with cryogenic plants is reflected in the design and durability of the POPLAR series.

Capacities range from just over 40 metric tons per day to 200 tons per day of total liquid product. The plants have been designed to provide the lowest specific power, as low as 0.89 kw-hr/Nm³. The POPLAR plant is designed to minimize shipping and allow for rapid installation by providing the plant in seven distinct, pre-piped and pre-wired modules: cold box, turbo-expander, air chiller, heater skid and adsorber vessels.
