When the alarm device of the booster turbine expander of the air separation unit rings, it is the signal of the failure of the booster turbine expander. Consequences: the pressure of the processing air increases, affecting the operation of the air turbine compressor, and the liquid level of the main condensing evaporator decreases, resulting in a decrease in output.

Emergency measures shall be taken in case of failure of booster turbine expander of air separation unit:

Start the standby booster turbine expander; Adjust the discharge pressure of the booster compressor to stabilize the discharge pressure of the booster compressor, check the purity of the product gas, reduce the product volume, reduce the liquid discharge volume, or stop completely if necessary.

Further measures: eliminate the fault immediately; Adjust the air volume and output to normal values.

The common failure of booster turbine expander is the blockage caused by ice and dry ice, which requires heating. As for other faults, the causes should be found out and eliminated according to the regulations on the use and maintenance of booster turbine expander.

DEAR air separation equipment manufacturing technology has studied technical theories and principles through long-term experience, and the manufacturing technology is mature and standardized. Each sub equipment has formulated use and maintenance regulations, and strictly controlled each stage, with quality first, to ensure the safety and efficiency of the equipment.

Liquid air separation plant solutions Most liquid air separation plant cold energy receiving stations have a peaking role, their use is generally for domestic gas or car refuelling, with high and intermittent periods of gas consumption, for example 1-2 hour peaks in the morning and midnight. If the liquid air separation plant vapourisation plant is intermittent, the plant will not operate continuously. The solution is based on the intermittent use of liquid air separation plant and is character...

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%
