Effect of tower body skew on distillation efficiency

Effect of tower body skew on distillation efficiency
Oct 12, 2024
Author: DEAR AST

There are certain requirements for the parallelism of each tray when manufacturing a distillation column. During installation, good levelness of each tray can be ensured only when the tower body is vertical. If the tower body is skewed, the tray cannot be kept horizontal, which will inevitably lead to uneven liquid layer thickness on the tray, and the resistance at the place where the liquid layer is thick will be large, and the gas passing through will be reduced; Where the liquid layer is thin, the resistance will be small, and the gas will pass through more. In this way, it may cause uneven bubbling, that is, bubbling in some places and non bubbling in some places. In places where a large amount of gas passes through, the air flow speed is fast, the contact time between gas and liquid is reduced, and there is no heat and mass exchange in places where there is no bubble. As the area and time of gas and liquid contact are reduced, the distillation efficiency and product purity are reduced, and in serious cases, liquid leakage may occur locally. This will seriously affect the rectification effect and product purity.

Energy saving air separation is DEAR's business card! China is a country with a serious shortage of energy resources. The per capita remaining recoverable reserves of oil and natural gas are only 7.7% and 7.1% of the world average, and the relatively rich coal reserves are only 58.6% of the world average. During the 30 years of reform and opening up, China's energy conservation and emission reduction work has made great achievements: as early as the early 1980s, the country formulated the energy development policy of "laying equal stress on development and conservation, and putting conservation in the key position in the near future". And continues to this day. Energy saving air separation is DEAR's business card! China is a country with a serious shortage of energy resources.

Regulation of liquid nitrogen throttle valveThe opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve not only affects the reflux ratio of the upper tower, but also affects the reflux ratio of the lower tower. When the opening is increased, the reflux ratio of the upper tower increases, while the reflux ratio of the lower tower decreases, the purity of the nitrogen in the upper tower increases, and the purity of the oxygen enriched night sky in the lower tower increases. However, after the opening is over, the purity of the liquid nitrogen decreases, and the reduction of the reflux ratio of the upper tower is also detrimental to the improvement of the purity of the liquid oxygen. Therefore, an equilibrium point should be found for the opening of the liquid nitrogen throttle valve. We can generally use the purity difference between liquid nitrogen and gas nitrogen to judge whether the opening is appropriate. Generally, the purity of the sprayed liquid nitrogen is equal to that of the upper towe

In the field of air separation, entropy is the core thermodynamic parameter to measure the energy quality and irreversibility of the system, which directly determines the energy consumption level and operation efficiency of the unit. Entropy, with the symbol s, is essentially a measure of the degree of chaos and energy unavailability of a system, in kj/(kg ・ K). The second law of thermodynamics clearly states that the total entropy of an isolated system only increases but does not decrease, that is, the principle of entropy increase. The higher the entropy, the lower the energy quality, and the more difficult it is to convert into cold energy or useful work; The smaller the entropy, the more orderly the energy, and the more sufficient the available energy. The essence of air separation unit is the combination of cryogenic refrigeration and distillation separation, and the whole process is closely related to entropy. The ideal reversible process is an isentropic process, and the entropy
