After long-term operation of the air separation plant, when the oxygen generator of the air separation plant is shut down for maintenance and hot work is required for welding, the following aspects shall be paid attention to:

1. If open fire is required in the oxygen generator workshop, it shall be approved by the superior, and the oxygen concentration around the site shall be tested to strengthen fire fighting measures. When the oxygen concentration in the welding site is higher than 23%, welding is not allowed. When the oxygen concentration is lower than 19%, asphyxiation accident shall be prevented;

2. Vessels with air pressure shall not be welded before pressure relief;

3. It is not allowed to repair low temperature vessels without thorough heating to avoid excessive thermal stress or failure to ensure welding quality. In serious cases, if liquid oxygen and gaseous oxygen leak out, it may also cause fire;

4. The whole process of hot work shall be monitored by the safety officer.

The non-power consuming option for liquid air separation plants can be used for full liquid air separation plants,where the produced liquid is sold off. This approach is currently available for most LNG receiving stations. For air separation units with a large cold capacity, the liquid air can be pressurised to 6baA in a vacuum storage tank, and then heat exchanged through a heat exchanger, instead of the air compressor, directly into the cold box for distillation. At the same time in the cold b...

1. Before connecting the pipe orifice of each container, clean white cloth shall be used to tie the orifice to prevent grease and dirt from entering. 2. When welding in the cold box and in the condensing evaporator, it is strictly forbidden for flame or arc to touch the surface of vessels and pipes. 3. The containers, valves, pipes and corresponding supports in the cold box, the surface of the cold box and the foundation surface shall not be stained with grease after installation, otherwise, degreasing treatment shall be carried out.
