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.

Liquid air separation plant solutions Most liquid air separation plant cold energy receiving stations have a peaking role, their use is generally for domestic gas or car refuelling, with high and intermittent periods of gas consumption, for example 1-2 hour peaks in the morning and midnight. If the liquid air separation plant vapourisation plant is intermittent, the plant will not operate continuously. The solution is based on the intermittent use of liquid air separation plant and is character...

In the main column of the air separation column, the distribution of argon varies with the position of the liquid air inlet. With the increase of liquid air inlet position, the maximum concentration of argon enrichment zone in the stripping section also increases, and the nitrogen content in the distillate can be reduced. However, the argon content in the downstream also increases. In order to ensure the purity of oxygen, more trays are needed under the extraction port of argon fraction. Therefore, in the case of producing argon, the position of liquid air supply E1 should be appropriately increased compared with the case of not producing argon. Some unit is equipped with two liquid air inlet positions to meet the conditions of argon production and non argon production respectively. In the production of argon, in order to improve the extraction rate of argon, the content of argon in oxygen and nitrogen must be reduced. When the content of argon in exhaust nitrogen is more than 0.3%
