Compressed gas storage areas should be identified using proper signage and located away from sources of excess heat, open flame or ignition, and electrical circuits. They should not be located in enclosed or subsurface areas. Outdoor storage areas should be above grade, dry and protected from the weather. The area should also be free from vehicle traffic and protected

Waste nitrogen and argon-rich gas converge and enter the SC, where the waste nitrogen and nitrogen provide cold energy for the fluids that need to be subcooled in the SC, and the waste nitrogen and nitrogen, still possessing a significant amount of high-grade cold energy, are sent into the AC to provide cold energy for the compressed air.
Furthermore, argon and oxygen were produced with a purity of 0.93 and 0.995, respectively. Also, oxygen product was utilized in the heat exchanger for cooling before exiting the system as a product. The SEC of the overall system was calculated at 0.057 kWh/kg.

In the LPC, a portion of the argon-rich (A48) gas is pumped out and sent to the CAC, where argon-rich gas (CAr) is obtained at the top, and argon-free oxygen-rich liquid air (A49) at the bottom, which is then sent back into the LPC for distillation. Finally, high-purity liquid oxygen (O1) is obtained at the LPC's bottom, and stored in LOT.
