    摘要: The present invention relates to an air separation apparatus and method in which a pumped liquid oxygen stream is heated within a heat exchanger through indirect heat exchange with compressed air to produce an oxygen product. The liquid oxygen stream is pressurized in a range above about 55 bar(a) and no greater than about 150 bar(a) and is a supercritical fluid after having been heated within the heat exchanger. The air is compressed to an air pressure that is a function of the oxygen pressure that will result in a minimum power being expended in the compression of the air. The heat exchanger can be a brazed fin heat exchanger fabricated from aluminum in which the fins located in heat exchange passages have an undulating configuration to increase the flow path length and induce flow separation and thereby increase the heat transfer coefficient within the heat exchanger.

    摘要: A low or no pollution power generation system is provided. The system has an air separator to collect oxygen. A gas generator is provided with inputs for the oxygen and a hydrocarbon fuel. The fuel and oxygen are combusted within the gas generator, forming water and carbon dioxide. Water or other diluents are also delivered into the gas generator to control temperature of the combustion products. The combustion products are then expanded through at least one turbine or other expander to deliver output power. The combustion products are then passed through a separator where the steam is condensed. A portion of the water is discharged and the remainder is routed back to the gas generator as diluent. The carbon dioxide can be conditioned for sequestration. The system can be optimized by adding multiple expanders, reheaters and water diluent preheaters, and by preheating air for an ion transfer membrane oxygen separation.

    摘要: The present invention relates to a process for the cryogenic distillation of air in a distillation column system that contains at least one distillation column wherein the boil-up at the bottom of the distillation column producing the oxygen product is provided by condensing a stream whose nitrogen concentration is equal to or greater than that in the feed air stream. The process of the present invention comprises the steps of: (a) generating work energy which is at least ten percent (10%) of the overall refrigeration demand of the distillation column system; (b) work expanding a process stream to produce additional work energy such that the total work generated along with step (a) exceeds the total refrigeration demand of the cryogenic plant; and (c) using the work which is generated in excess of the refrigeration need of the distillation column system to cold compress a process stream at a temperature lower than the ambient temperature.

    摘要: A high purity nitrogen generator unit which is excellent in the energy efficiency and the recovery of high purity nitrogen gas, is provided. In a rectification column 1, feed air is separated to oxygen-rich liquid air and nitrogen gas. The oxygen-rich liquid air in its bottom is reduced in pressure by a first expansion valve 21 and sent to a composition regulation column 3. The nitrogen gas in its top is condensed in a nitrogen condenser 2, the resulting liquid nitrogen is returned as a reflux liquid to the rectification column 1 and non-condensed gas is released. After oxygen-rich waste gas in the lower part of the composition regulation column 3 is reduced in pressure by an expansion turbine 6, it is released by way of a first heat exchanger 4. Mixed gas in the top of the composition regulation column 3 is introduced for re-circulation into a first compressor 5. Another portion of the mixed gas is returned to the composition regulation column 3 by way of a second compressor 7, second heat exchanger 8 and second expansion valve 22. The second compressor 7 is driven by means of the expansion turbine 6. High purity liquid nitrogen taken out of the vicinity of the top of the rectification column 1 is evaporated for recovery in the second heat exchanger 8.

    摘要: A method of producing nitrogen is a single column nitrogen generator in which first and second coolant streams are used to condense nitrogen-rich tower overhead to provide reflux for the distillation column. One of the coolant streams is composed of liquid having a higher nitrogen content than oxygen-rich liquid produced in a bottom region of the distillation column. This coolant stream is compressed, cooled and recycled to the bottom of the distillation column in order to increase nitrogen recovery.
