Method for operating a production system for air separation processes and production system

摘要

A method for operating a production system (1) for air separation processes comprises a plurality of air separation plant units (11...1N) wherein an air separation plant unit (11...1N) is implemented to provide at least one fluid product; a plurality of consumer units (31...3P) wherein a consumer unit (31...3P) is implemented to receive and use at least one of the products according to a demand associated with the consumer unit (31... 3P). The air separation plant units (21...2N) and the consumer units (31...3P) are communicatively coupled through a manifold (5) of conduits, and the method comprises the step of: activating and/or deactivating the air separation plant units (11...2N) as a function of a linear model describing the production system (1).
