Abstract: A back-up quantity of a "first" gas is supplied temporarily to maintain the level of production of the first gas from a cryogenic separation of a gaseous mixture comprising the first gas and at least one other gas in the event of reduction in the level of production of said first gas from the separation. The separation comprises separating the mixture, or a mixture derived therefrom, in more than one cryogenic distillation system (2,4) to produce liquefied first gas, each system retaining a portion of said liquefied first gas as inventory (20) and vaporising a further portion of said liquefied first gas by indirect heat exchange against a process stream in at least one heat exchanger (28) to produce said first gas. The first gas is then supplied to more than one downstream processing unit. In the event of reduction in the level of production of said first gas from the separation, liquefied first gas inventory is withdrawn from at least one of said cryogenic distillation systems and vaporised to produce said back-up quantity of first gas. The process is operated only during the period of time required to turndown or shutdown one of the downstream processing units in the event that one of the distillation systems ceases to produce liquefied first gas. The invention has particular application to the production of gaseous oxygen ("GOX") from the separation of air.
