Deep cooling air separation equipment

A low pressure nitrogen expander is added to the process design. The pressure nitrogen from the pressure tower and high pressure expander is expanded into low pressure nitrogen, which is combined with the nitrogen coming from the low pressure tower and fed into the charge gas compressor. This is specially set up for rapid oxygen load changes. The oxygen product flow rate during normal operation corresponds to the amount of oxygen contained in the amount of air entering the air separation unit. T...

The nitrogen from the top of the upper tower is piped through the nitrogen gas pipeline, reheated through the main heat exchanger of the colder tower, and a portion of the nitrogen is pumped out, then combined with the first pipeline and a portion of the nitrogen vaporised in the liquefier in the third pipeline before going to the main vessel. The first raw material air pipeline is heated up and out of the cold box in liquid air separation plant, then goes to the high pressure heat exchanger of ...
