What issues should be paid attention to during pressure testing of air separation equipment
Apr 14, 2023
Author: DEAR AST

The main purpose of conducting air pressure tests on site for air separation equipment is to check the airtightness of the equipment. The following issues should be noted during pressure testing:

1) It is strictly prohibited to use oxygen as the pressure testing gas source;

2) For non degreasing equipment after pressure testing, clean and oil-free pressure testing air sources should be used;

3) The pressure gauge used for pressure testing should be calibrated and sealed with lead before use. Before pressure testing, carefully check whether the pressure gauge valve has been opened;

4) During pressure testing, it is not allowed to strike the pressure testing container with a hammer;

5) During pressure testing, screws cannot be disassembled or tightened;

6) When using a nitrogen gas cylinder or a higher pressure source to inflate a lower pressure container for pressure testing, a pressure reducing valve should be installed and direct inflation is strictly prohibited.

7) After the pressure test inflation reaches the specified pressure, the inflation pipe joint should be removed.

Conventional liquid air separation plants are cooled by isothermal throttling refrigeration and expander refrigeration, LNG cold energy air separation eliminates the need for an expander and utilises the cooling capacity of LNG and isothermal throttling refrigeration. The air separation unit uses circulating nitrogen gas to liquefy into liquid nitrogen in a liquefier, which is fed into the lower tower, where the cold is transferred to the distillation system to pump the dirty liquid nitrogen thr...

Cryogenic air separation nitrogen production uses air as raw material, which is compressed, purified and heat exchanged to liquefy gas air into liquid air. Liquid air is mainly a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. Liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen have different boiling points and are separated by distillation to obtain nitrogen. 1. Air compression and purification The air passes through the air strainer to remove dust and mechanical impurities, then enters the air compressor, compresses to the required pressure, and then goes to the air cooler to reduce the air temperature. It then enters the air drying purifier to remove moisture, carbon dioxide, acetylene and other hydrocarbons from the air. 2. Air separation The purified air enters the main heat exchanger in the air separation column, and is cooled to the saturation temperature by the reflux gas (production nitrogen gas, waste gas), and is sent to the bottom of the distillation column. The nitrogen is obtained fr
