    摘要: The invention relates to a method and device for obtaining compressed oxygen and compressed nitrogen by the low-temperature separation of air in a distillation column system for nitrogen-oxygen separation, said distillation column system having at least one high-pressure column (8) and one low-pressure column (460), wherein the low-pressure column (460) is in a heat-exchanging connection with the high-pressure column (8) by means of a main condenser (461) designed as a condenser-evaporator. Feed air is compressed in an air compressor (2). The compressed feed air (6, 734, 802, 840) is cooled down in a main heat exchanger (20) and at least partially introduced into the high-pressure column (8). An oxygen-enriched liquid (462, 465) is removed from the high-pressure column (8) and fed to the low-pressure column (460) at a first intermediate position (464, 467, 906). A nitrogen-enriched liquid (468, 470) is removed from the high-pressure column (8) and/or the main condenser (461) and fed to the head of the low-pressure column (460). A liquid oxygen flow (11, 12) is removed from the distillation column system for nitrogen-oxygen separation, brought to an elevated pressure in the liquid state (13), introduced into the main heat exchanger (20) at said elevated pressure, evaporated or pseudo-evaporated and heated to approximately ambient temperature in the main heat exchanger (20), and finally obtained as a gaseous compressed oxygen product (14). A high-pressure process flow (34, 734) is brought into indirect heat exchange with the oxygen flow in the main heat exchanger (20) and then depressurized (36, 38; 736, 738), wherein the depressurized high-pressure flow (37, 737) is introduced at least partially in the liquid state into the distillation column system for nitrogen-oxygen separation. A gaseous circuit nitrogen flow (18, 19) is drawn from the high-pressure column and at least partially (21) compressed in a circuit compressor (22). A first sub-flow (45, 46; 244, 242, 230; 845, 846) of the circuit nitrogen flow is removed from the circuit compressor (22, 322), cooled down in the main heat exchanger (20), at least partially condensed in the bottom evaporator (9, 209) of the high-pressure column (8) in indirect heat exchange with the bottom liquid of the high-pressure column (8), and conducted back into the distillation column system for nitrogen-oxygen separation. A second sub-flow of the circuit nitrogen flow is branched off upstream and/or downstream of the circuit compressor and/or from an intermediate stage of the circuit compressor at a product pressure (P, P1, P2, P3, P4) and obtained as a compressed nitrogen product (27, 29, 53, 564, 565). The circuit compressor (22, 322) is designed as a hot compressor and is driven by means of external energy.

    摘要: A method and the apparatus for the cryogenic separation of air in an air separation plant which has a main air compressor, a main heat exchanger and a distillation column system with a high-pressure column and a low-pressure column. All of the feed air is compressed in the main air compressor to a first air pressure which is at least 3 bar higher than the operating pressure of the high-pressure column. A first part of the compressed total air flow, as first air flow at the first air pressure, is cooled and liquefied or pseudo-liquefied in the main heat exchanger, then expanded and introduced into the distillation column system. A second part of the compressed total air flow, as second air flow, is post-compressed in an air post-compressor to a second air pressure and at least part is further compressed in a first turbine-driven post-compressor to a third air pressure.

All of the feed air is compressed in the main air compressor to a first air pressure which is at least 3 bar higher than the operating pressure of the high-pressure column. A first part of the compressed total air flow, as first air flow at the first air pressure, is cooled and liquefied or pseudo-liquefied in the main heat exchanger, then expanded and introduced into the distillation column system. A second part of the compressed total air flow, as second air flow, is post-compressed in a turbine-driven post-compressor to a second air pressure.
