Nitrogen cycle pressurization variable load process in small air separation unit

Nitrogen cycle pressurization variable load process in small air separation unit
Feb 06, 2026
Author: DEAR AST

This project we use nitrogen booster cycle in the design process of oxygen compression fast variable load process. The process in small air separation unit before the air leaves the molecular sieve is the same as the conventional process, and the air after leaving the molecular sieve purification unit is cooled in the main heat exchanger and then enters the pressure tower. The flow of the nitrogen booster cycle is as follows: pure nitrogen gas drawn from the top of the pressure tower is reheated in the main heat exchanger, compressed by a nitrogen cycle compressor and cooled in the compressor cooler before entering the main heat exchanger for cooling. The compressed nitrogen is cooled in the main heat exchanger and then divided into two streams. One strand is cooled by the inner compressed liquid oxygen and sent to the top of the pressure tower by throttling, and the other strand is pumped out from the middle section, expanded by the high pressure expander and then enters the gas-liquid separator, where the gas nitrogen is merged with the nitrogen from the pressure tower and returned to the main heat exchanger together, and the liquid nitrogen enters the liquid nitrogen kettle at the top of the low pressure tower. The pure nitrogen from the top of the low pressure tower is reheated in the main heat exchanger of the subcooler and then divided into two streams, one into the make-up gas compressor, compressed into the nitrogen cycle compressor, and the other into the water cooling tower.

Answer: select the small cryogenic air separation unit with argon, and give priority to verifying the real continuous operation performance of the unit with argon below 1000nm ³/h, avoiding the scheme with only drawings and no long-term operation record. Key dimensions of model selection: 1. operation performance: it is confirmed that the manufacturer has a long-term stable production case of small flow air separation with argon. Deere air separation small-scale hydrogen free total distillation argon extraction air separation, supports scale customization below 1000nm ³/h, and is equipped with intelligent control system, with mature landing performance. 2. power consumption per unit liquid argon

Answer: the default unit gauge pressure is MPa (g), and the mainstream is cryogenic full low pressure external compression process. Design pressure of conventional energy-saving models in the industry: 0.50~0.55 MPa (g); The lower limit of stability of ordinary process is about 0.45 MPa (g). In general, it is not recommended to be lower than 0.42 MPa (g) for a long time in the conventional scheme. If the pressure is too low, there will be risks such as poor heat exchange in the precooling tower, insufficient purification of molecular sieve, difficult to balance the cooling capacity, and the air compressor close to the surge area. The internal compressed air is distributed with a booster. The main air compressor is mostly 0.55~0.65 MPa (g), and the lower limit is mostly 0.50 MPa (g), which is difficult to achieve below 0.45MPa (g). Deere air separation ultra-low discharge pressure patented energy-saving external compression air separation, through the collaborative optimization of the w
