摘要:
A cryogenic air separation method and apparatus in which first and second liquid streams are produced. The first liquid stream has a higher oxygen content than air and can consist of a higher pressure distillation column bottoms and the second liquid stream, for instance, air, has a lower oxygen content than the first liquid stream and an argon content no less than the air. The second liquid stream is subcooled through indirect heat exchange with the first liquid stream and both of such streams are introduced into the lower pressure column. The second liquid stream is introduced into the lower pressure column above that point at which the crude liquid oxygen column bottoms or any portion thereof is introduced into the lower pressure column to increase a liquid to vapor ratio below the introduction of the second liquid stream and therefore, reduce the oxygen present within the column overhead.

A method for producing a sterile cryogenic fluid is disclosed. A warm gas stream is sterilized by filtration and fed to a heat exchanger resulting in a cryogenic sterile fluid being formed. The waste gas stream from the heat exchanger is fed to a second filtration unit and the warm sterile waste gas stream is fed to a second heat exchanger to produce more cryogenic sterile fluid, resulting in a more efficient use of gases employed in the sterilization process.

A low temperature air separation process and apparatus for producing pressurized gaseous product in an air separation unit using a system of distillation columns which include cooling a compressed air stream in a heat exchange line to form a compressed cooled air stream, sending at least part of the compressed, cooled air stream to a column of the system, liquefying a process stream to form a first liquid product, storing at least part of the first liquid product in a storage tank, sending at least part of the above first liquid product from the storage tank to the air separation unit as one of the feeds, extracting at least one second liquid product stream from a column of the column system and pressurizing the at least one second liquid product stream, vaporizing the above pressurized second liquid product stream to form pressurized gaseous product in the heat exchange line and extracting a cold gas without warming it completely in the heat exchange line.
摘要:
The invention relates to a process for producing oxygen or air enriched with oxygen, in which process: The air entering the process is cooled in a heat exchanger to near to the condensation point of air and the air is led to a separation unit formed of two or more chambers connected thermally to each other and comprising A and B halves, in which it is divided, using liquidization and evaporation processes, into two or more gaseous fractions. The process air is maintained at normal temperature, except for small pressure differences to maintain the flow of the air and to optimize the process. When the process air flows through the A half of the separation unit, the liquid oxygen concentrate separated from it is evaporated in the B half of the separation unit at such a pressure, lower than normal pressure, that the desired composition is obtained for the oxygen concentrate and the heat of liquidization released in the A half of the unit is transferred to the B half of the unit and is bound in it to the evaporation of the oxygen concentrate. The low-oxygen-content process air leaving the A half of the separation unit is led out of the process through the heat exchanger. The oxygen concentrate evaporated in the B half of the separation unit exits at the lower than normal pressure prevailing in the half in question, either as such, or through a boosting and cooling process to the heat exchanger, and from there out of the process. The liquidization and evaporation processes are carried out in the said separation unit in nearly reversible conditions, in such a way that the gas phase in each process and in each part of the separation unit is nearly in equilibrium with the liquid phase in the same part.

The present invention provides a method of producing an oxygen-enriched air stream which includes compressing an air stream, dividing the compressed air stream into a first portion and a second portion, separating the second portion of the air stream to provide an oxygen gas product, introducing the oxygen gas product into the first portion of the compressed air stream to form an oxygen-enriched air stream, and then introducing the oxygen-enriched air stream to the process equipment, which may be by way of example a blast furnace.

The process and the apparatus serve for separating a gas mixture in a separation plant. A feed gas (18) is introduced into a compressor system (6, 16) and then into the separation plant. In the event of loss or partial loss of the compressor system (6, 16) of the first feed gas compressor (6), a first auxiliary stream (91, 92) which has approximately the composition of the first product stream or approximately the composition of the feed gas is compressed (78, 89) to at least approximately the first pressure and is recirculated to the separation plant.
