Nitrogen is the main component of air, accounting for about 78% of the air. With the progress of science and technology and economic development, the application scope of nitrogen is expanding day by day and has penetrated into many industrial sectors and daily life fields.

There are several main methods for producing nitrogen gas. One of them is cryogenic air separation for nitrogen production, which is a traditional nitrogen production method with a history of nearly several decades. It uses air as the raw material, undergoes compression, purification, and then uses heat exchange to liquefy the air into liquid air. Liquid air is mainly a mixture of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen. By utilizing the different boiling points of liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen (at 1 atmospheric pressure, the former has a boiling point of -183 ℃, while the latter has a boiling point of -196 ℃), they are separated through distillation of liquid air to obtain nitrogen gas. The characteristics of deep cold air separation nitrogen production equipment are high gas production, high product nitrogen purity, and can be stored in liquid nitrogen storage tanks, making it suitable for large-scale industrial nitrogen production.

Due to the irreplaceable competitive advantage of low-temperature separation method in large-scale molding of oxygen and nitrogen liquid products, especially high-purity products, and the fact that only low-temperature separation method has the ability to simultaneously produce rare gas products such as argon, low-temperature separation method occupies a very important position in the industrial application of air separation.

In the operation of the air separation unit, the superheat of the expanded air sent to the upper column is a key parameter affecting the stability of distillation conditions and product purity. The fluctuation of superheat will directly change the gas-liquid load and mass transfer efficiency of the upper column, and then affect the distillation effect and energy consumption of the unit. If the superheat of the expanded air is too high, the gas entering the upper tower will carry a large amount of excess heat, which will significantly increase the gas phase temperature in the tower and aggravate the consumption of cooling capacity in the tower. This will lead to the decrease of reflux ratio in the distillation section of the upper column, insufficient gas-liquid two-phase contact, and poor mass transfer and heat transfer efficiency. At the same time, the increase of superheated gas will raise the rising gas flow in the tower and destroy the balance of distillation conditions, resulting

DEAR air separation adopts the "software and hardware integration" scheme to implement the energy-saving transformation of air separation. Under normal conditions, the transformation can reduce the power consumption by about 15%. The cooperation supports the EMC (energy management contract) mode. The customer does not need to invest in advance, and the two sides share the saved electricity revenue.
