Liquid holding capacity of packed and sieve plate towers of small air separation unit

Liquid holding capacity of packed and sieve plate towers of small air separation unit
May 28, 2026
Author: DEAR AST

When using sieve plate towers for distillation, the liquid must be covered with a certain height of liquid layer in order to exchange heat and mass with the rising gas. In contrast, a packed tower only needs to wet the packing surface to form a liquid film for heat and mass exchange. Therefore, the liquid holding capacity of a packed tower is much smaller than that of a sieve plate tower, and the packed tower can also establish distillation conditions more quickly.

The Henan Province Air Separation Engineering Technology Research Centre, based on Dear Air Separation Design Institute, was established in 2018. The centre brings together a number of well-known experts and technical elites in the air separation industry, providing a platform for technological innovation, project development and sharing of results in design small air separation unit, large air separation unit and liquid air separation plant.

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
