Author: DEAR AST

According to the requirements of oxygen consumption, the configuration of the external compression process of the air separation unit supporting the metallurgical and chemical industries is as follows:

1. Air compressor and filtering system: domestic or imported machines equipped with domestic self-cleaning filters;

2. Nitrogen water precooling system: make full use of the cooling capacity of dry nitrogen, reduce the temperature of chilled water, and cancel the chiller (or with standby chiller);

3. Purification system: electric heating or steam heating, automatic switching; Double layer bed structure of molecular sieve+alumina is adopted to prolong the service life of molecular sieve;

4. Refrigeration system: 2 domestic expanders, 1 for use and 1 for standby;

5. Heat exchange system: domestic low-pressure plate;

6. Main distillation system: sieve plate lower tower or packing lower tower, regular packing upper tower, plate fin multilayer or falling film main cooling;

7. Argon production system: regular packing argon tower, full rectification three tower argon production;

8. Oxygen pressure system: domestic oxygen permeation or oxygen piston;

9. Nitrogen pressure system: nitrogen permeation or nitrogen piston;

10. Instrument control system: domestic or imported DCS.

Advantages of external compression process: low supporting requirements, low price of supporting units or valves, and low investment.

The liquefaction of gases can be divided into forward and reverse cycles. The forward cycle process is the absorption of heat from the higher temperature external heat source and the release of heat to the lower temperature external heat source. The reverse cycle is when the mass draws heat from a lower temperature external heat source and releases it to a higher temperature external heat source. The forward cycle converts heat energy into mechanical energy and the reverse cycle converts mechani...

Distillation is using the different boiling points of the two substances to condense the mixed steam and vaporize the mixed liquid repeatedly to achieve gas separation. For a mixed liquid composed of two substances with different boiling points, when the heat absorption part evaporates, the volatile components will evaporate more, while the mixed steam will give off heat and partially condense, the non volatile components will condense more. If the saturated steam with higher temperature is mixed with the saturated liquid with lower temperature, the steam will release heat and partially condense, and the liquid will absorb heat part of it evaporates. If after a round of partial evaporation and partial condensation, the steam and liquid with higher concentration will contact with the steam and liquid with different temperature respectively, and then partial condensation and partial evaporation will occur again. This process will be repeated for many times, and finally gas separation
