The present invention provides a method of obtaining an air product (GOX-IC) using an air separation plant (100) having a distillation column system (12, 38) and having a first tank (71) and a second tank ( 72) A tank system (70) in which a cryogenic liquid (41) is withdrawn from the distillation column system (12, 38). It is proposed to use a tank system (70) having an additional third tank (73) as the tank system (70), and wherein the extracted cryogenic liquid (41) is at least partially unheated to the third tank (73), wherein The cryogenic liquid system for providing the air product (GOX-IC) is withdrawn from the third tank (73) in a liquid state, vaporized or converted to a supercritical state, and discharged from the air separation plant (100), and/or The cryogenic liquid system for providing the air product (GOX-IC) is withdrawn from the third tank (73) in a liquid state and stored in a fourth tank (76) in a liquid state. The invention is also directed to an air separation plant (100). |
