1. A remote manufacturing yard configured to build a cryogenic distillation column for use in an air separation unit (“ASU”), the remote manufacturing yard comprising:
a fabrication facility comprising an enclosure and configured to assemble a packed column section of a low pressure column, the fabrication facility further comprising:
a vertical plate roller configured to vertically roll a plate to create a partial shell;a lifting device configured to transport the partial shell from the vertical plate roller to an assembly table, the assembly table configured to support two or more partial shells simultaneously;a first weld machine configured to weld the two or more partial shells together to form a course while keeping the two or more partial shells stationary;a column section assembly area having a second weld machine disposed therein, the column section assembly area configured to stack an upper course on a lower course, wherein the second weld machine is configured to weld the upper course and lower course together to form a column section while keeping the upper course and the lower course stationary;a distributor installation area configured to receive at least one column section and install a distributor within the column section to form a distributor column section; anda packing installation area configured to receive the distributor column section and install packing within the distributor column section to form a packed column section.
