First of all, it completely conforms to the general principle of distillation organization and simplifies the organization of air separation distillation. Secondly, after the air separation distillation is organized in this way, the argon component in the air is almost completely in the oxygen argon mixture at the bottom of the air separation column, which is greatly conducive to the improvement of nitrogen product purity. Third, it creates favorable conditions for further improving the purity of oxygen products. At present, the purity of oxygen products is generally about 99.6%, which is very difficult to further improve. The reason is that the number of theoretical plates that can be used for oxygen argon separation in air separation tower is not very many, and the gas-liquid ratio is basically fixed. However, these limitations do not exist in the crude argon distillation column. Fourth, the energy consumption of the air separation column can be greatly reduced. After adopting this technical scheme, because there is no so-called nitrogen resistance problem, the nitrogen content in the oxygen argon mixture can be relaxed to less than 5%.

 

The energy consumption of distillation separation with 4-5% argon fraction as raw gas of crude argon distillation column is higher than that with 10% argon fraction as raw material, but it is very favorable compared with the energy consumption of air separation column.

 

DEAR Air Separation has invested a lot to build an intelligent production workshop to ensure that the product quality is close to zero defects, improve the accuracy of air separation equipment and shorten the scheduled cycle.

 

Science and technology innovation + management innovation initiated the reform of the air separation industry mode, and developed the remote intelligent monitoring system with the help of Internet technology. Realize remote control, automatic data acquisition and analysis and other functions to achieve early detection and early warning of equipment failure.

Shell and tube air separation heat exchanger is the most representative wall heat exchanger. It has a long history of application and is still dominant in all heat exchangers. Shell and tube heat exchanger is mainly composed of shell, tube bundle, tube sheet and head. Most of the shell is round, and there are parallel tube bundles inside. Both ends of the tube bundle are fixed on the tube plate. In shell and tube heat exchanger, there are two kinds of fluids for heat exchange. One kind of fluid flows in the tube, and its stroke is called tube side. The other flows outside the tube and its stroke is called shell side. The wall of tube bundle is the heat transfer surface. In order to improve the heat transfer coefficient of the fluid outside the tube, a certain number of transverse baffles are usually installed in the shell. The baffle can not only prevent the short circuit of the fluid and increase the velocity of the fluid, but also force the fluid to flow through the tube bundle man
