What safety precautions should be paid attention to when the air separation unit is stopped to discharge low-temperature liquid

The liquid oxygen in the air separation equipment and the oxygen content in the liquid air are high. After evaporation in the air, the oxygen concentration in the local range will increase. If there is fire, there is a risk of combustion and explosion. A chemical fertilizer plant once exploded and injured people because it discharged a large amount of liquid oxygen into the trench and encountered welding sparks. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to discharge liquid into the trench at will, and it should be discharged into the liquid evaporation tank or special low-temperature resistant metal drain pit through pipes. The discharge pit shall be kept clean frequently and no organic matter or grease is allowed to accumulate. When discharging liquid, hot work is strictly prohibited around.

Contact of low-temperature liquid with skin will cause severe frostbite. In mild cases, the skin will form blisters, redness and pain; If it is heavy, it will freeze the internal tissues and bones and joints. If it falls into the eye, it will cause eye damage. Therefore, when discharging liquid, avoid direct contact with liquid with hands, and wear dry cotton gloves and protective glasses when necessary. In case of contact with skin, immediately wash with warm water (below 45 ℃).

Air cooling column is a mixed heat exchange device. The function is to make the cooling water fully contact with the air and being mixed fully to increase the heat transfer area and enhance the heat transfer, usually using "packed column" or "sieve plate". The packed column is a round steel container with packing (ceramic ring, plastic ring, etc.). Cooling water is ejected from the top of the column and mixed with air flowing upward from the bottom for heat and mass exchange. Air transfers heat to the cooling water, lowering its temperature and raising its temperature. In order to prevent the generation of water droplets in the air, the raschig ring (or stainless steel wire mesh) packing separator (also known as trapping layer) and mechanical water separator (inertial separation) are usually installed on the upper part of the column. The cooling water ejected from the spray device flows downward to the packing layer through the distributor, and an overflow ring is provided to redist
