In this work, a study for the reduction of the electric power consumption has been estimated in main air compressors in the air separation unit through cryogenic distillation columns with PRO/II with PROVISION V10.2 at AVEVA company. Both required LNG mass flow rate and cold heat contained in 1 ton of LNG were also predicted using Peng-Robinson equation of state with Twu's new alpha function. Through this work, we concluded that 32.33-48.69% of electric power could be saved by using LNG cold heat.

In this study, we have surveyed the new technologies in the cryogenic distillation of ITER, equilibrium reactors and helium refrigeration cycle contained in the isotope separation system (ISS). We also have collected thermodynamic and transport properties for $H_2$, HD, $D_2$, HT, DT and $T_2$ components of which properties are not built in a general purpose chemical process simulators such as Aspen Plus and PRO/II with PROVISION. Verification works have been performed to compare between literature data and simulation results. For the simulation of ISS involving six hydrogen isotope components, four distillation columns and two equilibrium reactors are used for the separation of $D_2$ and DT from $T_2$.
