The leakage of unit or pipeline in the cold box needs removal of perlite treatment. Since it is uncertain whether there is a leakage point in the cold box, it will have a certain impact on  removal of perlite. No matter whether the leakage is liquid or air, the sand filling holes at the top should be opened first, so that the residual gas in the cold box can be slowly discharged into the atmosphere. The oxygen content of the gas in the cold box and the pressure indication in the cold box should be strictly monitored in removal of perlite process. In the process of sand stripping, it is particularly important to avoid the formation of sand free area in the middle of the cold box, so as to avoid sand storm caused by the sudden drop of pearlite sand.

The plant operation cycle between two large heating is related to many factors. From an operational point of view, this mainly depends on when the air passage of the main heat exchanger is blocked. The main reason for the blockage is that the moisture and carbon dioxide content in the air entering the unit exceeds the standard, which accumulates and freezes in the main heat exchanger until it is blocked. The abnormal operation of molecular sieve purification system will shorten the operation cycle of the unit. It is mainly caused by the following reasons: 1. The molecular sieve adsorption bed is short circuited. In the process of operation, due to the unstable gas velocity control or switching, the pressure difference between the two tanks is too large, which will affect the bed layer, make the molecular sieve bed uneven and make the bed layer short circuit. In serious cases, the dust screen of the adsorber will break and the molecular sieve powder will enter the heat exchanger c
