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

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.

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%
