What should be paid attention to during hot welding of air separation equipment maintenance

Author: DEAR AST

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 amount of liquid nitrogen removed from the lower column of the air separation unit will affect the purity of the liquid nitrogen in the lower column and the oxygen enriched liquid air at the bottom of the column. When the liquid nitrogen removal amount of the lower column increases, the reflux liquid participating in the heat and mass exchange of the lower column will be reduced, the temperature rise of the rising steam on the column plate will be correspondingly reduced, the condensation of the rising steam will not be sufficient, the oxygen component will be condensed less, the purity of nitrogen at the column top will be reduced, and the purity of liquid nitrogen will be naturally reduced. At the same time, the temperature rise of the downflow liquid will increase, the liquid evaporation will be more sufficient, more nitrogen components will be evaporated to the top of the column, and the purity of the liquid air at the bottom of the column will be improved accordingly.
