    摘要: A process and plant for air separation by cryogenic distillation. Air is cooled in a main exchanger and is sent to a distillation column in which it separates into an oxygen-enriched liquid and a nitrogen-enriched vapor. A stream of pressurized liquid coming from the apparatus vaporizes in the main exchanger. The refrigeration necessary for the process is generated by expansion of air in one or more turbines immediately downstream of the main exchanger. The turbine or turbines produces or produce, as output, a stream which is at least 95 percent liquid, preferably 100 percent liquid.

    摘要: Process and installation for the production of variable flow rates of at least one pure component by fractionation of a mixture in a distillation apparatus (15), containing structured packing (17) and dimensioned to handle a nominal flow rate of the mixture at nominal pressure. To obtain higher production than the nominal production, there is increased proportionately to the ratio of the productions, the flow rate of the mixture distilled in the apparatus (15). Also increased is the operating pressure of the apparatus so as to increase the flooding limit of the apparatus under similar proportions. Preferably, the mixture is air. There is a compressor (3) for the mixture to be fractionated designed for nominal capacity and, upstream of the latter, a blower (1). Alternatively, there can be a compressor (3) for the mixture to be fractionated designed for maximum capacity. There is a heat exchange line (9) in which is effected an indirect heat exchange between the mixture to be fractionated which is cooled therein and at least one product of the apparatus (15) which is reheated therein, the heat exchange line being designed for operation at nominal production, and in which the ratio between the number of passages allotted to the mixture to be fractionated and the number of passages allotted to at least one product of the apparatus is variable according to the production regime that prevails.

    摘要: Process and installation for the production of gaseous oxygen and/or gaseous nitrogen under pressure, of the type in which the air is distilled in a double distillation column (10) comprising a low pressure column (12) operating under a low pressure, and a medium pressure column (11) operating under a medium pressure. All the air to be distilled is compressed (in 1,4) to at least one high pressure of air substantially greater than the medium pressure, and the compressed air is cooled to an intermediate temperature. A portion of it is expanded in a turbine (5) to the medium pressure, before introducing it into the medium pressure column (11). The non-work-expanded air is liquified, then introduced after expansion (in 19, 20), into the double column; and at least one liquid product withdrawn from the double column is brought to the production pressure, and this liquid product is vaporized by heat exchange with the air. The low pressure column (12) is operated under pressure; and the residual gas from the head of the low pressure column is expanded in the second turbine (8) after having been partially reheated. The low pressure column (12) is operated under a pressure of about 1.7 to 5 bars, and the medium pressure column (11) under a pressure of about 6.5 to 16 bars.

    摘要: Process and installation for the production of gaseous oxygen and/or gaseous nitrogen under pressure, of the type in which air is distilled in a double distillation column (11) comprising a low pressure column (13) operating under a so-called low pressure, and a medium pressure column (12) operating under a so-called medium pressure. All the air to be distilled is compressed (in 1, 3, 7)to at least one high air pressure substantially greater than the medium pressure, and the compressed air is cooled to an intermediate temperature, and a portion of it is expanded in a turbine (8) to the medium pressure, before introducing it into the medium pressure column (12). The air which has not been expanded is liquefied, then introduced after expansion (in 20, 21), into the double column. At least one liquid product withdrawn from the double column is brought to the production pressure, and this liquid product is vaporized by heat exchange with at least one portion of the air to be distilled in the course of cooling. An additional cycle fluid withdrawn from the double column (11) or destined for this latter, is reheated, compressed (in 3; 30, 31) to a high cycle pressure, cooled, a fraction thereof expanded (in 8; 35) with the production of external work, and the rest of the compressed additional cycle fluid is liquefied.
