Abstract

An air separation unit (100) is provided, the air separation unit (100) comprising a column system (10) including a pressure column (11) configured to be operated at a first pressure level and a low pressure column (12) configured to be operated at a second pressure level below the first pressure level and a Joule-Thomson expansion unit (7) configured to expand a Joule-Thomson stream (101) of compressed, pre-purified and cooled feed air into a phase-separating unit (200) provided in the pressure column (11). The phase-separating unit (200) is provided in the pressure column (11) beneath a separation section (16) and the phase-separating unit (200) comprises a roof structure (201) configured to restrict an inflow of cryogenic liquid draining from the separation section (16) into the phase-separating unit (200). A corresponding method is also provided.
