Air separation plant maintenance

The oxygen and nitrogen products produced by the air separation unit in the external compression process are low-pressure oxygen and nitrogen from the upper column, which are sent out of the cold box after being reheated by the heat exchanger. The product gas pressure out of the cold box is generally 0.12MPa. After being compressed to the pressure required by the user by the oxygen compressor, it is sent to the user’s pipeline. The internal compression process of oxygen is that liquid oxygen products are directly extracted from the condensing evaporator, compressed to the user's required pressure by the liquid oxygen pump in the cold box, and then sent to the user's pipeline after reheating and gasification by the heat exchanger.

1. Before hoisting, check and confirm whether the crane body, crane legs, lifting rigging and wire rope meet the safety requirements and hoisting conditions. 2. The hanging points of hoisting facilities shall be confirmed to prevent deviation and inclination; steel wire rope or sling shall be used for protection of edges and corners; sling and U-ring shall be used for lifting objects. 3. The commander shall use inter-phone for command, and special personnel shall be assigned for command, and the personnel shall stand at the position where the lifting object can be fully observed; warning isolation shall be set up in the hoisting area, and no one shall stand under the lifting object. 4. For large-scale hoisting, the hoisting safety scheme shall be formulated in combination with the company's special operation system.
