How to operate the sudden power failure of small air separation units?

Author: DEAR AST

In case of sudden power failure during the operation of small air separation unit, the following steps should be followed:

 

First, open the vent valve (anti surge valve) of air compressor to prevent the air compressor from surging and causing the air compressor to reverse due to air backflow;

 

Then check whether the molecular sieve adsorber switch should be interlocked to close, if not, it should be manually closed, and record the program status of molecular sieve adsorber before power failure. Expander, refrigerator, air precooling system and argon purification system shall also be shut down by interlocking, if not, manually;

 

Finally, stop the delivery of oxygen and nitrogen products, stop the output of liquid oxygen, liquid nitrogen and liquid argon, and close the water valve of air precooling system and external connection.

In medium and large air separation plants, the purification system is an important part when separating oxygen, nitrogen and argon from air. The purification system commonly uses molecular sieve adsorbent to adsorb moisture, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons, etc. in the air. The molecular sieve purification system plays an important role in the air separation equipment process to ensure safety. The molecular sieve purification system is generally composed of adsorber, electric heater, pipeline, val...

When the exhaust temperature of the piston compressor is higher than the design value, the most direct impact is that the lubricating oil is carbonized, which leads to the compressor parts burned out because of not getting good lubrication. If the temperature of the compressor is too high during actual operation, the cause should be analyzed in time and corresponding preventive measures should be taken. The following methods can be used for reference in practice. 1. Reducing the inlet air temperature can directly reduce the exhaust temperature. Check the intercooler to ensure the cooling effect of the intercooler. 2. The installation of the valve and the selection of the spring should be standardized to ensure the normal operation of the valve and minimize the loss of inlet and outlet pressure. 3. Strengthen the cooling of cylinder to ensure the normal compression process index. 4. Internal leakage is the main reason for the increase of exhaust temperature. 5.For multist
