    摘要: A method and apparatus for separating a mixture, for example air, within a cryogenic rectification plant that utilizes a banked heat exchanger arrangement. In such arrangement, a lower pressure heat exchanger is used to cool part of the mixture and a higher pressure heat exchanger is used to heat one or more pumped liquid streams composed of separated nitrogen-rich and oxygen-rich fractions and thereby produce pressurized product streams. A boosted pressure stream, that can be part of the air, is utilized to supply most of the heat exchange duty in the higher pressure heat exchanger. In addition, a heat exchange stream, that can also be part of the mixture, can be partially cooled in the higher pressure heat exchanger and then further cooled in the lower pressure heat exchanger to decrease the warm end temperature difference of the higher pressure heat exchanger and therefore, the required refrigeration for the plant.

    摘要: A process and apparatus for the production of low pressure gaseous oxygen (“GOX”) in which compressed and purified feed air (1) is cooled and at least partially condensed in heat exchange means (E1) having a warm end and a cold end and the cooled and at least partially condensed feed air (2) is then distilled in a cryogenic distillation column system (C1, C2). A liquid oxygen (“LOX”) product stream (8) is removed from the column system (C1, C2) and vaporized and warmed by heat exchange (E1) to produce GOX. LOX refrigerant (10) from an external source is used to provide a portion of the refrigeration duty required for the cooling and at least partial condensation of the feed air stream (1). The LOX refrigerant is injected into the heat exchange means (E1) either: (a) at a pressure greater than that of the LOX product entering the heat exchange means (E1); or (b) at a pressure substantially equal to that of the LOX product entering the heat exchange means and at an intermediate point between the warm and cold ends where the temperature of the heat exchange means is above the boiling temperature of the LOX refrigerant.

The side rectification column is provided with a condenser and the intermediate pressure rectification column with a reboiler and a further condenser. A stream of oxygen-enriched liquid is withdrawn from the bottom of the higher pressure column through an outlet and is separated in the intermediate pressure rectification column. The reboiler is heated by a stream typically withdrawn from the side rectification column through an outlet thereof. The condensers of the side rectification column and the intermediate column are cooled by streams having different oxygen mole fractions.

    摘要: An air separation method and apparatus in which a flow of air is subjected to a first rectification so as to separate therefrom an oxygen fraction and a nitrogen fraction. An argon-containing stream comprising argon, oxygen, and, as an impurity, nitrogen is withdrawn from the first rectification and is subjected to a second rectification so as to separate an impure argon fraction containing nitrogen. Nitrogen impurity is stripped from a stream of the argon fraction in a stripping column. A stream of sub-cooled liquid cools a condenser associated with an upper region of the stripping column by indirect heat exchange with condensing argon-nitrogen vapor mixture, and passes out of said indirect heat exchange still in sub-cooled state.

    摘要: A stream of precooled and purified air is introduced into a double rectification column comprising a higher pressure rectification column and a lower pressure rectification column and is separated therein into an oxygen-rich fraction and a nitrogen-rich fraction. A stream of argon-enriched oxygen vapor flows from an outlet of the lower pressure rectification column into a side column in which argon is separated therefrom. An oxygen-enriched liquid air stream is taken from an outlet at the bottom of the higher pressure rectification column. A vaporous oxygen-enriched air stream is introduced into the lower pressure rectification column through an inlet above the outlet. At least part of the oxygen-enriched liquid is separated in a further or intermediate pressure rectification column provided with a reboiler, thereby forming a vapor depleted of oxygen and a liquid air stream further enriched in oxygen. At least one stream of the further-enriched liquid is vaporised to form the oxygen-enriched vapor that is introduced into the lower pressure rectification column. A part of the oxygen-depleted vapor is condensed in a condenser and is taken as product or reintroduced into the lower pressure rectification column. The partial reboiling in the reboiler is effected by indirect heat exchange with a vapor stream withdrawn from an intermediate region of the side column. The condenser is cooled by a stream of liquid withdrawn from the further rectification column.
