摘要:
A cryogenic rectification system for producing nitrogen having a low argon content wherein the reflux ratio in the upper portion of the higher pressure column of a double column system is modified by withdrawing nitrogen vapor from below the top of the column, liquefying the withdrawn vapor, and returning the liquefied nitrogen to the column at or near the withdrawal point and below the top of the column.
摘要:
A process for producing an ultra-high purity fluid product comprising the steps of collecting in the lower portion of a cryogenic fractionation zone an ultra-high purity fluid product; providing reboil to said fractionation zone by condensing a portion of a lesser purity composition of the same fluid product by indirect heat exchange in a first reboiler; and vaporizing said portion of said lesser purity composition by indirect heat exchange with a warmer stream of an impure fluid.
摘要:
A process for the cryogenic separation of mixtures containing oxygen to obtain a produce having a high concentration of oxygen. In this process, a heat and material exchange occurs in counter-current between a descending liquid and a rising gas in at least one transfer zone including a bundle of organized linings consisting of cross-undulated metallic layers. In at least one transfer zone where the concentration of oxygen is higher than 98%, the layers are made of a sheet of aluminum having a thickness between 0.3 and 1 mm. Additionally, the bundles of layers have a specific surface lower than 400 m.sup.2 /m.sup.3.

A cryogenic rectification system wherein bottoms from a single column nitrogen production system are used to produce ultra high purity oxygen in a two column purification system, and bottoms from the first purification column are employed to drive the nitrogen column top condenser to generate additional nitrogen column reflux.
摘要:
The present invention relates to an improvement for the production of ultra-high purity oxygen from cryogenic air separation processes which produce nitrogen and/or commercial purity oxygen products. In particular, the improvement comprises removing or producing an oxygen-containing but heavy contaminant-lean (free, stream from one of the distillation columns of a single or multiple column cryogenic air separation facility and further stripping the removed or produced oxygen-containing stream in a fractionator to produce ultra-high purity oxygen (i.e., contaminant concentration
摘要:
Oxygen from the bottom of a low pressure column (4) is purified from hydrocarbons in a first auxiliary column (12), and the vapor at the top of this column is distilled in a second auxiliary column (17) heated at the base thereof with air at medium pressure. Ultra-pure oxygen is produced at the bottom of the second auxiliary column. Application in the production of ultra-pure oxygen for the electronic industry.
摘要:
An ultra-high-purity oxygen production method and apparatus are provide, in which the method can include a step in which feed oxygen comprising low-boiling-point components as impurities is introduced from a warm end of a main heat exchanger and cooled, then introduced into an oxygen rectification column, and product ultra-high-purity oxygen from which the low-boiling-point components have been removed is drawn as a gas or a liquid from a lower portion of the oxygen rectification column.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for cryogenic fractionation of air using an air fractionation plant comprising a rectification column system comprising a high-pressure column operated at a pressure level of 9 to 14.5 bar, a low-pressure column operated at a pressure level of 2 to 5 bar, and an argon column. It is envisaged that a recirculating stream is formed using the second tops gas or a portion thereof, which is heated, compressed, cooled again, and after partial or complete liquefaction or in the unliquefied state is introduced partially or completely, or in fractions, into the first rectification column and/or into the second rectification column. The present invention also relates to a corresponding system.
摘要:
A method for obtaining an air product from an air separation plant having a distillation column system and a tank system. The tank system includes a first tank and a second tank. Cryogenic liquid is withdrawn from the distillation column system, stored in the tank system, and used as the air product. The cryogenic liquid is supplied to the first tank and withdrawn from the second tank during a first period, and is supplied to the second tank and withdrawn from the first tank during a second period. The tank system has a third tank to which cryogenic liquid withdrawn from the first tank and the second tank is transferred unheated. The air product is withdrawn from the third tank in liquid state, vaporized and discharged. Alternatively, the cryogenic liquid can be withdrawn from the third tank and stored in the liquid state in a fourth tank.
摘要:
In low-temperature air fractionation, feed air (8) is cooled in a main heat exchanger (9) and introduced into a distillation column system for nitrogen-oxygen separation (11, 43), which system has at least one single column (12). At least one nitrogen-enriched or oxygen-enriched product stream (15, 16, 17; 53; 51, 56, 57; 19, 60) is withdrawn from the distillation column system for nitrogen-oxygen separation and warmed in the main heat exchanger (9). A fluid from an external source is passed at least at times into a liquid tank (70). At least at times fluid (71) is withdrawn in the liquid state from the liquid tank (70), vaporized in the main heat exchanger (9) and is obtained as gaseous additional product (72, 73).
