    摘要: A cryogenic air separation system is described in which pressure-swing adsorption driers are used to remove virtually all of the moisture from the feed air prior to the passage of the feed air stream through reversing heat exchangers which remove the carbon dioxide. The reversing heat exchangers are regenerated by at least one outgoing product nitrogen stream, while the adsorption driers are regenerated by all or a portion of a low pressure stream withdrawn from the low pressure column the composition of which may be rich in either nitrogen or oxygen depending upon whether the volume of product nitrogen or oxygen is to be maximized. A portion of this low pressure stream may be recovered as a dry product stream, while an additional stream of high purity product oxygen may also be recovered.

    摘要: A process is set forth for the separation of air by cryogenic distillation in a single column to produce a nitrogen product and an oxygen-enriched product. In the process, at least a portion of the nitrogen product is compressed and recycled to provide reboil at the bottom of the distillation column and to provide some additional reflux to the upper portion of the column. In addition, part of the compressed air stream is expanded to provide work, which is used to drive an auxiliary compressor for recycle nitrogen stream compression.

    摘要: A process and apparatus is set forth for the separation of air by cryogenic distillation in a rectification column using two nitrogen recycle streams and a sidestream of the feed air stream to reboil the column. One of the nitrogen recycle streams is expanded to provide refrigeration and to provide power to compress the feed air sidestream.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a process for the liquefaction of a nitrogen stream produced by separating air components, by using the combination of cryogenic distillation with improved refrigeration. Very cold liquefied natural gas (LNG) is employed as refrigerant, with the LNG currently being revaporized for transportation.Multi-stage component compression is used, with the component feed to each compression stage being precooled using sequential refrigeration from the LNG. Expander means for the coldest air component product stream provides supplemental refrigeration at the cold end beyond that which is available from the refrigerant LNG.In a preferred embodiment, the feed nitrogen stream(s) are compressed to at least 300 psi in a multi-stage compressor with interstage cooling provided by heat exchange against vaporizing LNG; the resulting compressed stream is directed into first and second nitrogen substreams, followed by further cooling of the first substream by heat exchange against vaporizing LNG and then expanding the cooled first substream to produce an expanded nitrogen substream. Condensing of the second compressed substream against both vaporizing LNG and the expanded nitrogen substream is carried out. Reducing the pressure of the condensed second nitrogen substream produces a two phase nitrogen stream. Phase separation yields a recyclable nitrogen vapor stream and a liquid nitrogen stream as product.
