The completion pressure test of the light tower in the air separation equipment is a key link to ensure the safe and stable operation of the equipment. Its core purpose is to verify the structural strength and sealing, ensure process safety, guarantee product quality and efficiency, extend equipment life, and meet acceptance and compliance requirements.
Strength testing: By injecting high-pressure gas (such as nitrogen) or liquid into the tower, simulating the pressure conditions during actual operation, the pressure bearing capacity of the tower body, connecting pipes, flanges and other components is tested to ensure that they will not undergo permanent deformation or rupture under the design pressure.
Sealing test: Check for leaks at the connections of the tower body (such as welds, flange gaskets, manhole seals, etc.) to prevent gas or liquid leaks during operation that may cause safety accidents or a decrease in product purity.
The pressure test of the dehydration tower is a bridge connecting equipment manufacturing and safe operation. Through systematic testing, hidden dangers are eliminated, laying the foundation for the long-term, efficient, and safe operation of the air separation unit.

1. Before filling with pearlite, the water accumulated on the foundation surface of air separation unit must be removed, dried with hot air, and all manholes shall be closed. 2. When filling pearlite, all containers and pipes in the cold box should be inflated and kept at 50kPa pressure, then slightly open the valve of each meter pipeline, and all thermometers should be electrified to check whether the thermometer cable is damaged during the filling process. 3. The filled pearlite shall not be mixed with combustibles. 4. When filling with pearlite, coarse mesh or pearlite pouring device should be set at the manhole on the top of the cold box to prevent whole bag pearlite from entering the cold box. 5. After the pearlite is filled, the manhole shall be sealed.
