What are the driving forms and characteristics of the compressor of the air separation plant
Nov 19, 2025
Author: DEAR AST

The compressor of the air separation plant has two driving modes and their respective characteristics are as follows:

1. Turbine drive:

Steam turbine is widely used in electric power, chemical industry, metallurgy and other industries and fields because of its characteristics of high speed rotation, stable operation, small wear and long continuous operation time. However, the one-time investment of steam turbine drive is relatively large, and the requirements for heating pipeline and production system are relatively high, the equipment production cycle is long, the installation and commissioning as well as the startup and shutdown process of the whole system are relatively complex, and the boiler discharge also has certain pollution to the environment. Generally, large air separation equipment is driven by steam turbine.

2. Motor drive:

Motor is an indispensable rotating drive equipment in the industrial production process. The motor covers all production links in the industrial industry with the advantages of stable operation, simple start and stop control, and short production cycle. And the motor installation is relatively independent, which can better ensure the construction period. However, high-power motors require high power grid conditions when starting, which is easy to affect the surrounding equipment. 35000 m at present ³/ The air separation equipment below grade h is mostly driven by motor.

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.
