Abstract: The invention relates to a method for separating air by means of cryogenic distillation in a system of columns, in which two single-stage air superchargers are connected in series and coupled to two turbines, which expand the air that was not supercharged. The superchargers supercharge the cooled high-pressure air in an exchange line in which the oxygen from the system of columns is vaporized.
