Nitrogen is the main component of air, accounting for about 78% of air. With the progress of science and technology and economic development, the application of nitrogen is expanding and has penetrated into many industrial sectors and daily life.

There are several main methods of producing nitrogen. One of them is liquid air separation nitrogen, which is a traditional method of nitrogen production and has a history of nearly decades. It uses air as a raw material, compresses it, purifies it and then uses heat exchange to liquefy the air into liquid air. Liquid air is mainly a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen, using the different boiling points of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen (at 1 atm, the boiling point of the former is -183°C, the latter is -196°C), through the distillation of liquid air, so that they are separated to obtain nitrogen.Large air separation and liquid air separation of nitrogen is characterised by high gas production, high purity of the product nitrogen, and can be stored in liquid nitrogen storage tanks, suitable for large air separatio industrial nitrogen production.

The current large air separation plant production of oxygen and nitrogen gas-liquid products, especially products requiring high purity, low-temperature separation method has an irreplaceable competitive advantage, and only low-temperature separation method can simultaneously produce argon and other rare gas products, so the low-temperature method in the industrial application of large air separation and liquid air separation occupies a very important position.

Dear Air Separation has rich technology and experience in production and design to meet the large air separation and liquid air separation nitrogen production needs of our customers.4

Conventional liquid air separation plants are cooled by isothermal throttling refrigeration and expander refrigeration, LNG cold energy air separation eliminates the need for an expander and utilises the cooling capacity of LNG and isothermal throttling refrigeration. The air separation unit uses circulating nitrogen gas to liquefy into liquid nitrogen in a liquefier, which is fed into the lower tower, where the cold is transferred to the distillation system to pump the dirty liquid nitrogen thr...

Cryogenic air separation nitrogen production uses air as raw material, which is compressed, purified and heat exchanged to liquefy gas air into liquid air. Liquid air is mainly a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. Liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen have different boiling points and are separated by distillation to obtain nitrogen. 1. Air compression and purification The air passes through the air strainer to remove dust and mechanical impurities, then enters the air compressor, compresses to the required pressure, and then goes to the air cooler to reduce the air temperature. It then enters the air drying purifier to remove moisture, carbon dioxide, acetylene and other hydrocarbons from the air. 2. Air separation The purified air enters the main heat exchanger in the air separation column, and is cooled to the saturation temperature by the reflux gas (production nitrogen gas, waste gas), and is sent to the bottom of the distillation column. The nitrogen is obtained fr
