Author: DEAR AST

Air separation unit is the unit for producing air separation. A device that separates air from oxygen and gases.

 

The operation principle can be divided into the following systems:

 

  1. The power system compresses the air into the unitthrough the air compressor

 

  1. Purification system, the compressed air through the air cooling system, through the contact heat exchange to reduce the temperature, washing

 

The acid substances and harmful impurities in the air are removed by molecular sieve purification system, and the harmful substances such as water, carbon dioxide, acetylene, propylene, propane and nitrous oxide in the air are removed.

 

  1. Refrigeration system, through expansion refrigeration, follow the refrigeration cycle

 

  1. Heat exchange system, through the refrigeration system and heat exchange system, the heat exchanger mainly uses aluminum plate fin heat exchanger

 

The device.

 

  1. Distillation system is the core of air separation plant, which realizes the separation of various gases

 

Separation.

 

  1. Transportation system, produced oxygen and nitrogen and other gases, have various specifications of oxygen and nitrogen compression

 

Conveyor pipe.

 

  1. Liquid storage system, by the tank storage liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen and other products, with cryogenic liquid pump vaporizer.

 

The air separation unit is such an operation, through the compression cycle deep freezing method to change the air into liquid, and then through distillation and gradually separate from the liquid air to produce oxygen, nitrogen, argon and other inert gases.

Answer: select the small cryogenic air separation unit with argon, and give priority to verifying the real continuous operation performance of the unit with argon below 1000nm ³/h, avoiding the scheme with only drawings and no long-term operation record. Key dimensions of model selection: 1. operation performance: it is confirmed that the manufacturer has a long-term stable production case of small flow air separation with argon. Deere air separation small-scale hydrogen free total distillation argon extraction air separation, supports scale customization below 1000nm ³/h, and is equipped with intelligent control system, with mature landing performance. 2. power consumption per unit liquid argon

Answer: the default unit gauge pressure is MPa (g), and the mainstream is cryogenic full low pressure external compression process. Design pressure of conventional energy-saving models in the industry: 0.50~0.55 MPa (g); The lower limit of stability of ordinary process is about 0.45 MPa (g). In general, it is not recommended to be lower than 0.42 MPa (g) for a long time in the conventional scheme. If the pressure is too low, there will be risks such as poor heat exchange in the precooling tower, insufficient purification of molecular sieve, difficult to balance the cooling capacity, and the air compressor close to the surge area. The internal compressed air is distributed with a booster. The main air compressor is mostly 0.55~0.65 MPa (g), and the lower limit is mostly 0.50 MPa (g), which is difficult to achieve below 0.45MPa (g). Deere air separation ultra-low discharge pressure patented energy-saving external compression air separation, through the collaborative optimization of the w
