Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for generating Nitrogen from air.
- the pretreated air is then in a main heat exchanger in Countercurrent withdrawn from the rectification column and the condenser Product streams cooled to a temperature in the range of the dew point of the air.
- a subset of the vaporous low oxygen overhead product of Rectification column is withdrawn as a nitrogen product.
- the oxygen-enriched bottom liquid of the rectification column is called Cooling medium fed into the condenser of the rectification column and through in Countercurrent indirect heat exchange with the residual amount of evaporated vapor-poor oxygen-depleted overhead of the rectification column.
- the condensed overhead product is returned to the rectification column as reflux fed.
- the invention is therefore based on the object, a method and a To provide apparatus for the production of nitrogen from air, which allows a higher yield of nitrogen with reduced energy consumption.
- the compressed and pre-cleaned air is in a main heat exchanger through in Countercurrent carried out indirect heat exchange with gaseous products the rectification column cooled to the dew point and in the range the rectification of the rectification column fed and in known Into an oxygen-rich bottoms liquid and an oxygen-poor one decomposed vaporous nitrogen product.
- Nitrogen product is first in countercurrent with reflux liquid from the The bottom of the rectification column is preheated to the dew point of the air and then in the main heat exchanger by countercurrent indirect heat exchange with the compressed purified air and a compacted portion of the oxygen-depleted nitrogen product into the area the ambient temperature is heated.
- the thus pretreated nitrogen product is at least one further pinion of the gear turbo compressor to a product pressure of over 6 bar, preferably to a pressure of 5 to 20 bar, compressed and a subset as gaseous low oxygen nitrogen product withdrawn from the process.
- the amount of compressed nitrogen product not withdrawn from the process is in the main heat exchanger together with the pretreated air through in Countercurrent indirect heat exchange with the cold vaporous Products from the rectification column to a temperature in the dew point cooled from air and fed back into the bottom evaporator of the rectification column as well as by indirect heat exchange with evaporating sump liquid of the Liquefied rectification column.
- the withdrawn from the bottom evaporator of the rectification column liquid nitrogen is characterized by countercurrent indirect heat exchange with vapor Undercooled nitrogen product of the rectification column, to the operating pressure of the Rectified column relaxed and directly as reflux liquid in the rectification column fed or initially relaxed in a storage container, from the then at least a subset of the liquid as reflux liquid in fed to the rectification column and optionally a further subset as liquid nitrogen product is withdrawn from the rectification.
- the amount of flushing fluid required for the process is removed from the Withdrawn bottom liquid of the rectification column.
- a subset of evaporated in the bottom evaporator of the rectification column Liquid is called a vaporous oxygen-rich nitrogen product with a Oxygen content of 35 to 80% deducted from the rectification column, then in the main heat exchanger warmed by about 10 to 60 Kelvin and to cover the Refrigeration needs of the rectification in a work-performing expansion device (Expansion turbine) to a pressure of about 1.3 bar relaxed.
- the relaxed oxygen-rich product stream is through in the main heat exchanger indirect heat exchange with the compressed and purified air and the densified nitrogen to the temperature range of the environment Rectification warmed up and at least partially for the regeneration of the Air purification device used.
- the withdrawn from the rectification column vapor oxygen-rich nitrogen product also without work-free relaxation directly in the Main heat exchanger by indirect heat exchange with the compacted and cleaned air and, if necessary, also compressed separately from the air nitrogen warmed the temperature range of the environment and the refrigeration demand of the plant by feeding a liquid consisting of oxygen, nitrogen and argon Mixture, but preferably by feeding liquid nitrogen into the Rectification column are covered.
- the advantage of the inventive production of nitrogen from air is in particular, that even when using only one compressor, the operating pressure the rectification column is usually more than half below the desired one Pressure of the nitrogen product is.
- a second significant advantage of the method according to the invention over the The conventional method described above is that below the feed point of the air into the rectification column steam quantities in the Magnitude produced by more than one third of the amount of air used be a further separation of the flowing down from the feed point Allow return fluid. In the withdrawn from the rectification column oxygen-rich product is thus significantly less nitrogen than at conventional plants.
- the low operating pressure of the rectification column allows a much more effective separation than the conventional method, so depending on desired nitrogen pressure and quantity energy savings between about 10 Percent to over 30% percent to realize.
- the operating pressure of the rectification column chosen be that the liquid evaporating in the bottom of the rectification column about 1.5 to 3 Kelvin is colder than the dew point of the nitrogen at the desired Product pressure.
- the coldbox can be used to determine the cooling requirements of the process. Is this Refrigeration demand under the maximum achievable during work relaxation Cooling capacity so there is a cold overflow and it can be liquid nitrogen as additional product be deducted.
- the applications of the subject invention are of the respective thermodynamic and aerodynamic process conditions on the Gear turbo compressor determines.
- Nitrogen yield increases the effectiveness of the separation in the rectification column and reduces the use of air.
- the subject invention further relates to a device consisting of at least one transmission turbo compressor having at least two pinions, at least one air cleaning device, at least one heat exchanger and at least one with conventional rectification equipment and a Bottomed evaporator equipped rectification column and at least one subcooler, by means of a conventional measuring, control and regulating and conveying devices exhibiting piping system are interconnected.
- the device consists of at least one gear turbo compressor having at least two pinions, at least one air cleaning device, at least one with a Expansion turbine coupled heat exchanger, one with conventional Rectifying and a bottom evaporator equipped with and at least one separating vessel coupled rectification column and at least a subcooler, through a standard measuring, control and regulating and Conveyors exhibiting piping system are interconnected.
- the advantage of the inventive production of nitrogen from air is in particular, that when using only one compressor, the rectification column with can be operated at a pressure of usually less than half of the desired pressure of the nitrogen product.
- Fig. 1 to be rectified air 1 on a first pinion 2a of Transmission turbo compressor 2 in two stages 2b, 2c on one to operate a Bottom evaporator (7) of a rectification column (6) compressed appropriate pressure and then in a device 3, usually by cooling and adsorption of cleaned their interfering ingredients.
