What are the properties of molecular sieves in liquid air separation plants?

The molecular sieve used in oxygen generators is the zeolite molecular sieve. It is a crystalline silica and aluminate polyhydric compound. Molecular sieves have a uniform pore size and their main function is to sieve molecules. There are three main types of molecular sieves: A, X and Y. The 13X molecular sieve is the only adsorbent currently used in liquid air separation plants. Any molecules that can be adsorbed on 3A, 4A and 5A molecular sieves can be adsorbed by 13X molecular sieves. It is c...

Types of problems with purifiers for liquid air separation plants

Brief description of the molecular sieve problem The purifier CO₂ suddenly started to run abnormally and suddenly went out of range in liquid air separation plants, the dew point never changed significantly. The dew point did not change significantly. In order to ensure that the other molecular sieve had enough time to regenerate, the time could not be shortened any further. At this point there was a relatively stable situation with no further deterioration. Check the trend graph for a cold bl...

Liquid air separation plant circulating cooling water operation and control

According to the daily water quality analysis and laboratory results, supplement the discharge water and control the dosing amount to make it reach the required data index. When the turbidity is >20mgL, increase the amount of drainage water, increase the flow of side filtration, and supplement clean water. According to the current situation of the circulating water system, try to increase the concentration multiple operation to save water and medicine. If the concentration multiplier is g...

Liquid air separation plant heat exchanger thermal scale treatment

To determine whether the heat exchanger has thermal scale: a. View the last 3 to 6 months of the heat exchanger convergence temperature (gas temperature inlet water temperature) annual convergence temperature rise greater than 2 ℃ per year. b. If the convergence temperature has increased significantly more than 0.5 ℃ per month, indicating the existence of problems. Treatment options. Slight thermal scale (convergence temperature rise less than 0.5℃/month): firstly reduce the concentration of...

Radiographic inspection technology for valve housing castings for the liquid air separation plant

According to the structural characteristics of the valve casing castings, generally take X-rays or γ-rays as a source of radiation with the technical measures of the way the valve body pressure-bearing parts for radiation detection. The use of radiation detection technology to detect the valve body pressure parts, you can find internal defects in the casting, to avoid casting defects may lead to valve leakage and lead to deflagration or explosion accidents. X-ray inspection is often used...

Liquid air separation plant solutions

Liquid air separation plant solutions Most liquid air separation plant cold energy receiving stations have a peaking role, their use is generally for domestic gas or car refuelling, with high and intermittent periods of gas consumption, for example 1-2 hour peaks in the morning and midnight. If the liquid air separation plant vapourisation plant is intermittent, the plant will not operate continuously. The solution is based on the intermittent use of liquid air separation plant and is character...

Energy consumption of liquid air separation plants

The energy saving in liquid air separation plants improves the efficiency of the air compressor and consumes energy mainly in the air compressor and the circulating nitrogen press. In liquid air separation plants, the cold volume of liquid air separation plant is utilised in sections. The cold volume in the high temperature zone is pre-cooled by a glycol solution, and the compressed air of the air compressor allows the inlet temperature of each stage of the air compressor to be reduced from the ...

Investment in liquid air separation plants

Liquid air separation plant cold energy utilises air separation equipment, generally large air separation equipment with 2 combined expanders. The price is around 4 million RMB. The expansion air in the air separation plant is no longer required, so for the internal compression process air separation, the inlet air volume of the circulating booster is reduced by about 40% (from 5.A-2A). The energy consumption of the booster is reduced and the investment is reduced. Liquid air separation equipmen...
