Liquid holding capacity of packed and sieve plate towers of small air separation unit

When using sieve plate towers for distillation, the liquid must be covered with a certain height of liquid layer in order to exchange heat and mass with the rising gas. In contrast, a packed tower only needs to wet the packing surface to form a liquid film for heat and mass exchange. Therefore, the liquid holding capacity of a packed tower is much smaller than that of a sieve plate tower, and the packed tower can also establish distillation conditions more quickly. The Henan Province Air Separa...

Measures to avoid cavitation in centrifugal pumps of small air separation unit

The cavitation of centrifugal pumps is very harmful. It causes great stress on the surface of the impeller and also reduces the head of the pump of small air separation unit, increases the power and reduces the efficiency. Therefore, measures should be taken in the process of use to avoid cavitation as far as possible. In order to avoid cavitation of small air separation unit, in the process design, should make the liquid into the pump before a certain degree of subcooling, while the pum...

Inspection of the pipeline in small air separation unit

Before installing pipe , check the orientation of the container orifice, the orientation of the valve inlet and outlet is correct. The pipe fittings should be thoroughly cleaned ten net and strictly degreased, while opening the welding bevels etc. The welded pipe must be brushed with clean stainless steel wire for a very short time before welding. In order to reduce the cold box pipe welding mouth, can be prefabricated in a clean plant, and later for the final distribution. Piping principles, f...

Installation of the molecular sieve purification system of small air separation unit

(1) The base of the two supports must be on the same level, ensuring that the 4 mark lines on the outside of the vessel's simplified orientation at both ends are level (2) Horizontal adsorber movable support: after the installation level is adjusted, the first nut on the support is tightened and then backed up one turn, then locked with the second nut (3) After the horizontal adsorber is in place, the level of its internal orifice plate <10mm is tested to confirm the level of the marker bar...

Nitrogen Circulation Pressurization Process in Small Air Separation Unit

The raw air is passed through an air filtration system to remove dust and mechanical impurities, and the filtered air is compressed by a multi-stage turbocompressor with an intercooler to the required pressure for the process. The compressed air is cooled and cleaned by two layers of cooling water in an air cooling tower of small air separation unit. Chemical impurities in the compressed air that are soluble in water are also absorbed by the falling cooling water cleaning. The remaining impuriti...

Copper plate welding methods in small air separation unit

1, gas welding of purple copper plate: welding purple copper plate is most commonly used for butt joints, lap joints and ding joints are used as little as possible. Gas welding can be used in two kinds of welding wire, one containing deoxidizing elements, such as wire 201, 202; the other is the general purple copper wire and the cutting strip of the parent material, using gas 301 as flux. Gas welding purple copper should be used when the neutral flame. 2, manual arc welding of purple copper: in...

How to determine whether the heating regeneration of molecular sieves in small air separation unit?

The required steam pressure, flow rate, etc. should meet the process design requirements when the molecular sieve is heated. The heating regeneration process in small air separation unit can be judged by the regeneration temperature curve. In the unloading stage, the adsorption capacity of the molecular sieve decreases due to the pressure drop, and some of the water and carbon dioxide molecules originally adsorbed are desorbed, and the temperature drops. In the heating stage in small air ...
