Air Distillation Overhaul

[swagXDragonSlayer46YT]

Details

Currently, air distillation in gregtech simply involves cooling some air and distilling it to get some stuff. However I think it can be made more painful. This will outline a more realistic air separation process.

Products

Main Product: Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon
Side Product(s): Carbon Dioxide, Water

Steps

Air is collected with air collector

Air is passed through a molecular sieve to remove water vapor, carbon dioxide, and dust
10 b Air + Molecular Sieve (NC) -> 10 b Filtered Air + 10 mB carbon dioxide + 100 mB water + Small pile of ash (25% chance)

The Air is then cooled
1 b Air -> Vacuum Freezer -> 1 b Liquid Air

The Air is distilled
100 b Liquid Air -> Distillation Tower -> 78 b Liquid Nitrogen + 21 b Liquid Oxygen + 1 b Liquid Argon

The product gases will have to be heated from the liquid phase to a gas phase to be used

Yield

Per 100b of Air:
78 b Liquid Nitrogen
21 b Liquid Oxygen
1 b Liquid Argon
1 b Water
100 mB carbon dioxide
Some ash
