Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A compression train system and method for compressing air for an air separation unit is provided. The system includes at least one initial air compressor configured to receive and compress a flow of ambient pressure air and driven by a variable speed motor. The system further includes a plurality of downstream compressors or compression turbo-machines disposed in a series arrangement with the at least one initial compression stage. The desired flow rates to the compression system is controlled by adjusting the speed of the variable speed motor and the position of inlet guide vanes to increase or decrease the flow rate of the ambient pressure air and keep the speed of the variable speed motor above or below a restricted speed zone.
