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 At least one liquid product withdrawn from the double column is brought to the production pressure, and this liquid product is vaporized by heat exchange with at least one portion of the air to be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 An additional cycle fluid withdrawn from the double column (11) or destined for this latter, is reheated, compressed (in 3; 30, 31) to a high cycle pressure, cooled, a fraction thereof expanded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.
摘要:
In order to boost production of a product (A) of an existing separation plant (X, 1), an additional plant (Y) is integrated with the original plant so as to enable the original plant (X) to produce more of that product (A+B), whilst the additional plant may or may not necessarily itself produce the same product directly. For example, air is separated in a first unit, which is an existing double column distillation plant, to produce an oxygen rich fluid. So as to increase the production of the oxygen rich fluid, a second unit, which is a wash column (15), is integrated with the first unit. Air (41) is separated in the single nitrogen wash column (15) to remove oxygen and gaseous nirogen (42) is produced at the top of the column. The wash column is fed with liquid nitrogen (39) from the high pressure column (25) of an existing air separation unit.
摘要:
A plant and a process for the purification and cryogenic separation of air containing impurities, which process is carried out according to the steps of (a) compressing the air; (b) introducing the air compressed in step (a) into one or more adsorption vessels containing particles of adsorbent without, beforehand, precooling the air; (c) adsorbing the impurities (CO2, H2O, NOx, SOx, etc) contained in the air on the particles of adsorbent at room temperature and at a pressure of at least 11.4 bar, preferably ranging from 20.1 to 40 bar; (d) cooling the air purified in step (c) down to a cryogenic temperature; and (e) cryogenically distilling the cooled air in order to produce nitrogen, oxygen, argon or mixtures thereof.
摘要:
A process and installation for the production of gaseous oxygen and/or gaseous nitrogen under pressure by distillation of air in a double column (9), which comprises pumping (in 13) at least one liquid product withdrawn from the base of the low pressure column (11), and vaporization (in 8) of the compressed liquid product by heat exchange with the air brought to a high air pressure. All of the air to be distilled is brought to the high air pressure, and the excess fraction of this air is expanded in two turbines in series (5, 6) to the pressure of the medium pressure column (10), the air being partially reheated (in 22) between the two turbines.
摘要:
Process and apparatus for the production of gaseous oxygen under median pressure with a double distillation column (5). The low pressure column (7) of the double column (5)is operated under a pressure substantially greater than atmospheric pressure and slightly greater than the desired production pressure of oxygen, this low pressure being about 2 to 5 bars. The medium pressure column (6) of the double column (5) is under a corresponding pressure, namely, about 8 to 16 bars. The gaseous production oxygen is directly recovered from the base of the low pressure column, and the installation is maintained cold, at least in part, by free expansion of at least one gaseous product leaving the low pressure column.
摘要:
A cryogenic unit for the separation of gases includes at least one distillation column (1) is preassembled in the factory. The column (1) with added tubing elements (2) constitutes a pre-equipped subassembly which is transported and installed at the worksite. The tubing elements are disposed so as to be inscribed in at least one elongated volume (3; 3.sub.1, 3.sub.2) lateral to the column and of reduced section. The subassembly (1,2) is disposed on at least one transport cradle (4, 4') and transported to the worksite on the cradle and mounted at the worksite in a cold box (10) Preferably, all the tubing elements are disposed in the cradle. The subassembly, with or without the cradle, is mounted adjacent one side wall of the cold box (10) and is spaced by insulation (13) from at least one liquid gas reservoir (11; 12) also in the cold box (10).
