摘要:
An air separation method in which a pre-purification unit 16 is provided with three or more beds which are subjected to a pressure swing adsorption process. Each of the beds is subjected to feed, pressurisation, purge and repressurization stages. The purge stages are conducted with a waste stream from the air separation unit and the duration of the purge stage is equal to the total time of the cycle divided by the number of beds, and thus the waste stream is used continuously to purge the beds.

Provided are apparatus and systems for performing a swing adsorption process. This swing adsorption process may involve passing streams through adsorbent bed units to remove contaminants, such as water, from the stream. As part of the process, the adsorbent bed unit is purged with a purge stream that is provided from the overhead of the demethanizer. The configuration integrates a RCTSA dehydration system with a cryogenic recovery system.

Overall power consumption in a cryogenic distillation process for recovering helium from nitrogen-rich gases comprising helium may be reduced if the feed to the distillation column system is at least substantially condensed by indirect heat exchange against a first bottoms liquid at first pressure, and a second bottoms liquid at a second pressure that is different from the first pressure.

A cryogenic air separation system wherein separation inefficiencies resulting from feed air flow disturbances due to discontinuous prepurifier operation are reduced or eliminated by inhibiting column liquid drainage during such disturbances using mesh packing having interspacial regions which hold up the liquid during the disturbances using surface tension.

A pressure swing adsorber air prepurifier includes at least first and second adsorbers and a controller for controlling air feed to the adsorbers. The invention is a "realtime" method for controlling cycle times for each adsorber and includes the following steps. During a determined time period, flow is measured to an adsorber that is coupled to an air inlet. An actual totalized flow to the on-line adsorber is accumulated, based upon the measured flow values. During this time, air feed conditions are monitored and periodically, a maximum totalized flow to the adsorber is calculated, determined, at least in part, based upon the monitored air feed conditions. Periodically, the actual totalized flow value is compared to a current calculated maximum totalized flow value and upon a predetermined relationship therebetween being reached, the on-line adsorber is decoupled from the air inlet and another adsorber is coupled thereto.

A liquid air energy storage system comprises an air liquefier, a liquid air storage facility for storing the liquefied air, and a power recovery unit coupled to the liquid air storage facility. The air liquefier comprises an air input, an adsorption air purification unit for purifying the input air, and a cold box for liquefying the purified air. The power recovery unit comprise a pump for pressurizing the liquefied air from the liquid air storage facility; an evaporator for transforming the high-pressure liquefied air into high-pressure gaseous air; an expansion turbine capable of being driven by the high-pressure gaseous air; a generator for generating electricity from the expansion turbine; and an exhaust for exhausting low-pressure gaseous air from the expansion turbine. The exhaust is coupled to the adsorption air purification unit such that at least a portion of the low-pressure gaseous air exhausted from the expansion turbine is usable to regenerate the adsorption air purification unit.
