Definitions
- the invention proposed here relates to the field of gas distillation air and especially to a device and proceeds from air separation by cryogenic distillation. It improves the extraction efficiency of oxygen and so the energy performance on the patterns of distillation which does not ordinarily include a supply of liquefied air columns and whose cooling production is ensured by an air release (oil brake turbine, generator or auto-boosted).
- the gains of this invention when it is implanted on an air separation unit are of 3.5% (see case below) in oxygen separation energy.
- the basic distillation processes on which the invention can be used are processes that do not ordinarily involve feeding of liquid air in the distillation columns.
- These basic processes are processes for separating gases from the air with air compression, pre-cooling of compressed air, air cleaning, cooling of air in a main exchanger, separation of air in a distillation column comprising at least one medium pressure column and a column low pressure and subcooling liquids coming in reflux of the medium pressure column to the low pressure column.
- Double column (single cycle) producing low oxygen outlet pressure cold box.
- An application case production of impure oxygen with medium pressure MP column and low pressure BP under pressure (recovery of the waste).
- the loss of efficiency due to the reflux decline (more difficult distillation in the MP column) is sorely feel.
- This invention will improve the efficiency in this case.
- EP-A-0381319 discloses a column system in which an air flow rate vaporizes against a flow containing 95 vol.% oxygen.
- US-A-5765396 relates to a conventional pump process in which a air flow condenses against liquid containing between 98 and 100 mol%.
- US-A-5582035 and US-A-5291737 disclose separation methods of air with mixing column in which all the air enters the columns in gaseous form.
- US-A-3754406 proposes to vaporize rich liquid from the column medium pressure of a double column against medium nitrogen gas pressure. Air is liquefied by heat exchange with liquid oxygen pumped and sent to the low pressure column.
- an air separation apparatus according to claim 1.
- At least partially condensed air sent to the Low pressure column is the only flow of liquefied air to the system of columns.
- the apparatus comprises means for relaxing the air with production work before sending it to the second vaporizer-condenser and / or means to cool the air to its dew point before sending it to second vaporizer-condenser.
- At least partially condensed air can be sent to the column low pressure and / or medium pressure column and / or other column of the column system.
- the apparatus comprises a powered mixing column at the top by a rich oxygen liquid from the column tank-fed by a more volatile gas than the liquid rich in oxygen.
- the low pressure column has no overhead condenser.
- Gaseous air coming out of a turbine can be condensed into the second vaporizer / condenser against a part of the rich liquid coming out of the MP. This fraction of the latter vaporizes at the pressure of the BP and is then introduced into BP in a section under the rich liquid supply main.
- the liquefied air is, for its part, introduced, for example, in the BP to a Intermediate section between the rich liquid and the poor liquid. (see diagram attached).
- FIG. 1 is a diagram of an apparatus according to the prior art
- FIG. 2 is a device diagram according to the invention.
- an air flow rate of 5.25 bar is divided in two to form a flow 2 of 188135 Nm3 / h and a flow 81 of 12900 Nm3 / h.
- Flow 2 is cools in exchanger 100 and is sent to the middle column vessel pressure 104.
- the flow 81 is boosted to 8.7 bars, cooled partially in the exchanger 100 and relaxed in the insufflation turbine 103 before being sent in low pressure column 105.
- the medium pressure column 104 operates at 5 bar and the low column pressure 105 operates at 1.3 bar.
- the columns are thermally connected by a first condenser vaporizer 111.
- the apparatus produces liquid oxygen 46 and liquid nitrogen 36.
- rich liquid from the medium pressure column 104 is sent to the column low pressure 105 above the level of insufflation air.
- Liquid oxygen 50 withdrawn into the bottom of the low pressure column is sent to the top of the mixing column 107 after being pumped to 5.1 bars.
- a third air flow 90 cools completely in the exchanger 100 and feeds the mixing column into the tank.
- a tank liquid 93 and optionally at least one intermediate liquid withdrawn from the column of mixture are sent to the low pressure column while a flow of oxygen containing 54 to 95 mol% oxygen is withdrawn at the top of the mixing column and warms up in exchanger 100 with 3100 Nm3 / h of medium nitrogen pressure and the low pressure residual.
- the rich liquid 18 sent to the second vaporizer-condenser 109 constitutes 37% of the total flow of rich liquid and vaporizes in that one for then be sent to the low pressure column a few theoretical plateaus above the first vaporizer-condenser 111.
- the apparatus may comprise an argon column or a pressure column intermediate between the medium and low pressures.
- the frigories necessary for the apparatus can be produced by a Claude turbine or a nitrogen turbine or a combination of several turbines.
- the low pressure column can contain at least two vaporizers condensers, the vessel vaporizer being supplied for example with nitrogen compressed.
- the mixing column can operate at equal pressure, higher or less than average pressure.
- a liquid coming from the apparatus and rich in nitrogen or oxygen can be pressurized, for example by a pump, and vaporized in the exchanger 100 or another exchanger, for example by heat exchange with air for supply a gaseous product under pressure.
- the low pressure column can operate at a pressure between 1.5 and 10 bars. To produce oxygen directly under pressure, the column low pressure operates at between 4 and 10 bar.
- Some of the air from the insufflation turbine can be sent to the mixing column.
- the medium and low pressure columns can be built side by side side.
- the process can allow gaseous oxygen production by drawing off a flow of gaseous oxygen in the bottom of the low pressure column.
- the gas heats in the exchanger 100 and can optionally be compressed once warmed.
