Safety measures for oxygen centrifugal compressors in large air separation units

Safety measures for oxygen centrifugal compressors in large air separation units
Apr 19, 2022
Author: DEAR AST

Oxygen is a strong oxidising gas, flammable and explosive, so safety measures should be taken in its design and manufacture. When choosing materials, all metals in contact with oxygen must be chemically stable and not easily oxidised. Each component should be degreased. The shaft seal should be sealed with nitrogen pressure difference and also ensure the vacuum of the oil system. All large air separation unit parts and pipings in contact with oxygen should be earthed to prevent static electricity. In addition, firewalls should be provided for oxygen unit piping and valves.

The Kaifeng Dear air separation overhaul management team, with accurate fault information and real-time warning of faults on site, can easily achieve real-time viewing and historical queries on product faults. By setting data such as upper and lower limit values and change rates for analogue quantities, the management team can generate timely warnings, and can split time and product statistics and export alarm summary reports. Alarm information includes product attributes, alarm generation time, alarm elimination time, alarm acknowledgement time, alarm acknowledgement person and other information.

In the main column of the air separation column, the distribution of argon varies with the position of the liquid air inlet. With the increase of liquid air inlet position, the maximum concentration of argon enrichment zone in the stripping section also increases, and the nitrogen content in the distillate can be reduced. However, the argon content in the downstream also increases. In order to ensure the purity of oxygen, more trays are needed under the extraction port of argon fraction. Therefore, in the case of producing argon, the position of liquid air supply E1 should be appropriately increased compared with the case of not producing argon. Some unit is equipped with two liquid air inlet positions to meet the conditions of argon production and non argon production respectively. In the production of argon, in order to improve the extraction rate of argon, the content of argon in oxygen and nitrogen must be reduced. When the content of argon in exhaust nitrogen is more than 0.3%
