Pressure testing and leak detection are both air tightness checks of air separation equipment. Its purpose is to examine the quality of installation, piping, and welding.

There are two types of pressure testing for air separation equipment: one is strength pressure testing, which tests the safety of the equipment. Generally, individual equipment is tested at the manufacturing plant or before installation upon arrival at the site. The second is the airtightness test, with the purpose of detecting leaks. Generally, the whole system pressure test of air separation equipment during installation refers to the latter. The pressure level and test method of the airtightness test vary depending on the object being tested, and should be carried out in accordance with the technical documents of the manufacturer. After the installation of general air separation equipment, a full system pressure test is required and the residual rate is calculated. The requirement for residual rate to be above 95% is qualified.

When the amount of processing air is reduced, the rising steam and reflux liquid in the upper column will be reduced, but the reflux ratio will not change. Therefore, the reduction of processing air in a small range will not affect the purity of oxygen and nitrogen, and the reduction of processing air volume will help to reduce the pressure of the upper and lower columns. However, according to the material balance, the production of oxygen and nitrogen will naturally decrease when the amount of processing air is reduced. If the amount of processing air is too small, there will be leakage on the tray. If the heat and mass exchange of the leaked liquid is not sufficient, the purity of oxygen and nitrogen will be greatly affected, and even the normal production can not be realized. Therefore, the minimum allowable load of distillation column is generally specified.
