What safety precautions should be paid attention to when overhauling the nitrogen water precooling system

In the maintenance of nitrogen water precooling system, the most important thing is to prevent nitrogen asphyxiation accidents. In China, there have been several times of death of maintenance workers due to nitrogen asphyxiation. During maintenance, the nitrogen used for the unit is often heated at the same time, and the heated nitrogen often enters the cooling tower through the sewage nitrogen three-way valve, resulting in high nitrogen concentration in the tower.

Therefore, the air cooling tower and water cooling tower shall be separated from the device with blind plates before heating the device; The oxygen content in air cooling tower and water cooling tower shall be analyzed. When the oxygen content is between 19% and 21%, maintenance personnel are allowed to enter; If working in an area with oxygen content lower than 19%, someone must be assigned to monitor and wear an isolation mask (oxygen respirator, long tube mask, etc.).

Whether it is equipment installation or maintenance debugging, DEAR Air Separation can provide customers with comprehensive support. The technical service team composed of experienced and skilled commissioning experts is active in many regions and continuously receives technical skills training. DEAR's equipment maintenance and commissioning is systematic, and strict checklists and agreements need to be filled in to meet the standard delivery requirements.

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%
