    摘要: Air is fractionated in a double distillation column 4 comprising lower pressure and higher pressure columns 8 and 6 respectively. Condenser-reboiler 42 provides reboiled oxygen to the bottom of the column 8. Liquid nitrogen reflux is introduced into the top of the column 8 through an inlet 50. Oxygen, nitrogen and argon-enriched streams are withdrawn from the column 8 through outlets 52, 54 and 58 respectively. The argon-enriched stream is separated in a further distillation column 40 and a product argon stream is withdrawn through outlet 62. A liquid stream is withdrawn through outlet 70 from an intermediate level of the column 8 is at least partially reboiled in heat exchanger 72, and is returned to the column 8 through inlet 74 at a level where the composition of the vapour corresponds approximately to that of the reboiled liquid. Heating for the heat exchanger 72 is provided by a vapour stream withdrawn through outlet 76 from the column 40, which vapour stream condenses and is returned to the column 40 through inlet 75. The aforesaid reboiling of the stream from the intermediate level of the column 8 makes possible more efficient air separation.

    摘要: The retrofittable device for low-temperature separation of air comprises a distillation column system, which has a high-pressure column (3), a low-pressure column (4), and a first raw argon column (6). Said device comprises supply lines (101, 102) for connecting the first raw argon column (6) to a second raw argon column (41), wherein the supply lines pass through the outer wall of the first cold box (1), which encloses the high-pressure column (3), the low-pressure column (4), and the first raw argon column (6). The invention further relates to a retrofitting system, which comprises a second cold box (40), a second raw argon column (41), and corresponding supply lines (201 to 205), and to a method for retrofitting the device mentioned first.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an improvement for the production of argon from cryogenic air separation processes. In particular, the improvement provides a better method of thermally linking the top of the crude argon column (135) with the low pressure column (119). In the improvement, the argon-rich, overhead vapor (245) from the top of the crude argon column (247) is condensed in a boiler/condenser by indirect heat exchange against liquid descending the low pressure column; a portion (250) of the condensed argon-rich, overhead vapor is returned to the top of the crude argon column to provide reflux. The most suitable location for such boiler/condenser is as an intermediate boiler/condenser in the low pressure column, particularly, the section of the low pressure column bounded by the feed point of the crude liquid oxygen from the bottom of the high pressure column and the vapor feed draw line for the crude argon column wherein an adequate temperature difference exists between the descending liquid and the condensing argon.

    摘要: A dry condenser which permits heat exchange even in a small temperature difference is used in each condenser for a crude argon column, a deoxidation column, and a high-purity argon column in an argon separator utilizing air liquefaction and rectification. An oxygen-enriched liquefied air withdrawn from the plate located above the bottom of a lower column in a multi-rectifying column is used as a coolant for each condenser. Thus it is possible to widen the temperature difference between the condensation side and the evaporation side in the condensers for respective columns, to dispense with a blower for pressurizing crude argon even when the total number of theoretical plates of the crude argon column and the deoxidation column exceeds 100 and, consequently, to reduce apparatus and operation costs. Further, it is possible to render the condenser in each column small and compact, thus shortening the time taken for starting. Furthermore, the adoption of the liquefied air withdrawn from plates located above the bottom can eliminate a fear of hydrocarbon precipitation.
