摘要:
Systems and methods are provided for recovering helium from a feed comprising helium, carbon dioxide, and at least one of nitrogen and methane. The feed is separated in a first separator to form helium-enriched stream and a CO 2 -enriched stream. The helium-enriched stream is separated in a pressure swing adsorption unit to form a helium-rich product stream and a helium-lean stream. At least a portion of the helium-lean stream is recycled to the first separator with the feed. In some embodiments, a membrane separation unit is used to enhance helium recovery.

A low-temperature device for separating and purifying gas based on a small-sized low-temperature refrigerating machine includes a primary heat exchanger, a secondary heat exchanger, a quaternary heat exchanger, at least one small-sized low-temperature refrigerating machine, and at least one liquid collecting tank. The small-sized low-temperature refrigerating machine includes a first cold head and a second cold head, the secondary heat exchanger is provided on the first cold head to form a primary cold head heat exchanger, the quaternary heat exchanger is provided on the second cold head to form a secondary cold head heat exchanger, a mixed gas outlet is connected to an inlet of the primary cold head heat exchanger, an outlet of the primary cold head heat exchanger is connected to an inlet of the liquid collecting tank, and a gas outlet of the liquid collecting tank is connected to an inlet of the secondary cold head heat exchanger. By using primary and secondary cold heads of the small-sized low-temperature refrigerating machine as cold sources, gases having different condensing temperature are liquefied and solidified separately, accordingly a high-purity gas having a lower condensing temperature is obtained, and two or more gases can be separated and purified at a lower cost.
摘要:
A method and device for purifying a process gas mixture, such as a cryogen gas, in which impurity components of the mixture are removed by de-sublimation via cryo-condensation. The gas mixture is cooled to a temperature well below the condensation temperature of the impurities, by direct exchange of the gas mixture with a cooling source disposed in a first region of the device. The de-sublimated or frozen impurities collect about the cooling region surfaces, and ultimately transferred to a portion of the device defining an impurities storage region. The output-purified gas is transferred from the impurities storage region, is optionally passed through a first micrometer sized filter, through a counter-flow heat exchanger, and ultimately up to an output port at room temperature. A method of purging the collected impurities and regenerating the device is also disclosed.
