Most commercial oxygen at present is obtained from air by cryogenic separation processes. Although design of oxygen manufacturing plants and process conditions may vary depending on production capacity, purity desired, and cost, basic steps are similar. 

The raw material for oxygenate manufacture does not have to be biomass, but it is used as feedstock to help supply the growing demand. Since the introduction of RFG with oxygenates to the U.S. motor fuel market in January...

Owing to proper heat integration, the SMDS plant is heat balanced, i.e. no extra natural gas has to be burned for utility purposes. The steam produced in both the SGP and the HPS process is used in, for example, the turbines of the oxygen-manufacturing plant and the various process off-gases are used to fire the SMR. As a result the overall thermal efficiency of the Bintulu SMDS plant will amount to 63%, or in other words 80% relative to the theoretical maximum. It is beyond discussions that major engineering problems have been resolved to achieve this excellent process result.
