    摘要： A fluid mixture is separated by distillation in a two column system in which a portion of the feed is prefractionated in a first column having at least one separation stage above the feed and the prefractionator bottoms provides feed to a second column operating at a lower pressure. Cooling for condensing the overhead vapor of the first column is provided by heat exchange with flashed prefractionator bottoms or with an intermediate fluid in the second column. Another portion of the feed is flashed and introduced into the second column. The two-column system is readily combined with a high pressure column in a three-column distillation system for separating air which is particularly useful for integration with a gasification combined cycle combustion turbine system. Optionally, three nitrogen products can be produced at three different pressures.

    摘要： The present invention is an improvement to a process for the cryogenic distillation of air to produce both nitrogen and oxygen products carried out in a single distillation column system wherein a feed air stream is distilled thereby producing a nitrogen overhead and a liquid oxygen bottoms. The improvement is characterized in that: (a) operating the single distillation column at a pressure between 70 and 300 psia [480 and 2,070 kPa.sub.(absolute) ]; (b) withdrawing a portion of the liquid oxygen bottoms having an oxygen concentration greater than 80% oxygen and preferably between 85% and 97% oxygen from the bottom of the single distillation column and reducing the pressure of and vaporizing the withdrawn liquid oxygen by heat exchange against a condensing nitrogen stream removed from a top section of the single distillation column; (c) feeding the condensed, nitrogen stream to a top section of the single distillation column as reflux; and (d) recovering the vaporized oxygen as at least a substantial portion of the oxygen product. The improvement can be further characterized by providing boilup by boiling at least another portion of the liquid oxygen bottoms by heat exchange against a condensing vapor stream, wherein the vapor stream to be condensed in an air stream at a higher pressure than the feed air stream or a recycle nitrogen stream at a pressure greater than the operating pressure of the single distillation column, or by recycling a portion of the oxygen product at a pressure of at least the operating pressure of the single distillation column to the bottom of the distillation column and/or by providing intermediate boilup to the stripping section of the single distillation column system by vaporizing a portion of descending column liquid by heat exchange against another condensing vapor stream, wherein the other vapor stream to be condensed is either an air stream at a higher pressure than the feed air stream or a recycle nitrogen stream at a pressure greater than the operating pressure of the single distillation column.

    摘要： The present invention relates to an improvement to a cryogenic process for the separation of air into its constituent components. In the process, a distillation column system having at least two distillation columns, a high pressure distillation column and a low pressure column is used; these two distillation columns are in thermal communication with each other. The low pressure column of the distillation column system operates at a pressure between 9 to 75 psig and a nitrogen product is produced from the top section thereof. At least 50% of the air to the distillation column system is removed as this nitrogen product, which has a nitrogen concentration of at least 95% and is at a pressure of at least 9 psig.The improvement to the process is a series of steps which allows for the production of liquid products from the cryogenic process in an efficient manner. These steps are primarily the partial warming of the nitrogen product, its subsequent isentropic expansion and use of the inherent refrigeration of the expanded nitrogen. These steps can be carried out in three ways.
