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.

The liquefaction of gases can be divided into forward and reverse cycles. The forward cycle process is the absorption of heat from the higher temperature external heat source and the release of heat to the lower temperature external heat source. The reverse cycle is when the mass draws heat from a lower temperature external heat source and releases it to a higher temperature external heat source. The forward cycle converts heat energy into mechanical energy and the reverse cycle converts mechani...

Distillation is using the different boiling points of the two substances to condense the mixed steam and vaporize the mixed liquid repeatedly to achieve gas separation. For a mixed liquid composed of two substances with different boiling points, when the heat absorption part evaporates, the volatile components will evaporate more, while the mixed steam will give off heat and partially condense, the non volatile components will condense more. If the saturated steam with higher temperature is mixed with the saturated liquid with lower temperature, the steam will release heat and partially condense, and the liquid will absorb heat part of it evaporates. If after a round of partial evaporation and partial condensation, the steam and liquid with higher concentration will contact with the steam and liquid with different temperature respectively, and then partial condensation and partial evaporation will occur again. This process will be repeated for many times, and finally gas separation
