Definitions
- the invention relates to an assembly method of a gas separation plant according to claim 1. Particularly preferred embodiments are described in the subclaims.
- a gas separation plant such as a plant for cryogenic separation of air is always in front of the alternative prefabricate the plant as much as possible in a factory or to install equipment parts on the site.
- the first case arises due to the large dimension of the columns of such systems often high cost of transport.
- the second alternative requires the implementation of extensive assembly work in unsuitable environments.
- An important part of the assembly is the introduction of a separation column in an enclosure, such as a cold box for thermal insulation.
- EP913653 For example, prior art teaches the lifting of the separation column into a horizontal, open-topped shell at the factory. The finished combination of separation column and enclosure is then transported to the construction site.
- the quoted scripture on the other hand, teaches the prefabrication of the separation column only. The prefabricated separation column is pushed horizontally into the lateral, open enclosure at the construction site.
- Both mounting variants described in the prior art have the disadvantage that the enclosure must be built under an unnecessarily high material consumption with very high mechanical stability.
- the entire combination of separation column and enclosure is brought into the vertical position.
- the enclosure and its connection to the separation column must be made so stable that they can absorb the entire weight of the separation column during the erection process.
- This stability requirement is well above the stability requirements for later operation of the plant.
- the envelope is used for thermal insulation and therefore only has to absorb the wind loads. Due to the unnecessarily high stability during the erection process, the consumption of material for the envelope is therefore significantly higher than would be required for stationary operation.
- the German patent application DE-A-102005022093 discloses a process for producing a process plant which has at least one separation column and a coldbox.
- the separation column is prefabricated in a workshop and then transported to the site, the prefabrication of the separation column can be done without pipelines or with at least a portion of the pipelines.
- the prefabrication involves connecting the separation column to other cold equipment parts prior to transport to the installation site.
- the prefabricated separation column is erected and placed in vertical alignment from above into the prefabricated coldbox. Subsequently, the cold box is closed by a lid.
- the different temperatures must be taken into account when installing and constructing such systems.
- the assembly takes place in the warm state (ambient temperature) while gas separation during the actual operation of the system, eg. As in a plant for air separation, prevail in some parts of the plant cryogenic temperatures (60-80 K), while other parts are much warmer.
- the prevailing different temperatures result in different material expansions, which come into play in particular with accessories such as piping, instruments, inlets and outlets and / or fittings.
- These different temperature expansions must be taken into account in design and assembly, especially with regard to the positioning of the parts. This increases especially the design effort in externally accessible parts considerably.
- the present invention is therefore based on the object, a method for assembling a system for gas separation in such a way that a simple installation on site while minimizing the design effort and the material cost of the envelope over the prior art is guaranteed.
- the present object is achieved by a method for assembling a gas separation plant according to claim 1 of the application.
- the basic idea of the invention is to transport the prefabricated column to the construction site and at least partially carry out the assembly of accessories, such as, for example, pipelines, inlets and outlets, fittings, valve seats and / or instruments.
- the installation of the accessories is carried out according to the invention on the upper half of the lateral surface facing away from the bottom of the separation column.
- the accessories are attached to pipe bridge modules, which consist of a cuboid, cylindrical or oval cylindrical frame.
- All or part of the pipe bridge modules can be installed in the workshop or directly on site at the construction site.
- the mounting of the accessories allows a horizontal position of the separation column almost at ground level.
- the separation column must only be scaffolded at the height of its diameter.
- Parallel to this, at least partial prefabrication of the wrapper is in its vertical orientation, leaving the top side of the wrapper open.
- the pre-assembled separation column can then be erected in its vertical orientation and lifted through the upper, open side into the enclosure. Subsequently, the remaining accessories, if not previously mounted, attached, the envelope completed and closed.
- the stability of the enclosure can be adapted to the operating conditions and does not have to be designed for the mechanically demanding process of erecting the combination separation column / enclosure.
- the installation of accessories to the pipe bridge modules with horizontal separation column requires only a small and mobile equipment. This not only saves material costs of the envelope, but also minimizes the cost of installation for installation on the site.
- the prefabrication of the side surfaces of the envelope takes place before the introduction of the separation column to a height of one third of the total height, more preferably up to half the total height.
- the pressure test and / or quality inspection of the separation column and / or the X-ray inspection of the welds in the horizontal orientation of the separation column before erecting done. In the horizontal orientation all essential and to be tested parts are easily accessible, so that the test can be done with little effort.
- a plurality of tubular bridge modules are fastened on the lateral surface along an axis parallel to the preferred axis of the separating column at regular intervals, particularly preferably at a distance of from 6 m to 8 m.
- This axis is located in the assembly method according to the invention on the upper half of the lateral surface in horizontal storage.
- the positioning of the pipe bridge modules along a single axis further simplifies the design of the plant.
- the pipe bridge modules specify the position of all accessories.
- the attachment of the pipe bridge modules along an axis allows mounting in the horizontal orientation of the separation column before the erection in the vertical end position.
- the linkage of the frame, which make up the pipe bridge modules made of chrome-nickel steel.
- the design proves to be cube-shaped frame.
- a foreclosure is attached to the pipe bridge modules, wherein the foreclosure surrounds flanged components and / or instruments which are accessible from outside the enclosure, and wherein the foreclosure forms a volume around the components and / or instruments which is not filled with insulating material (perlite). is filled.
- the foreclosure is an arbitrary hollow body around the flanged Accessories which are suitable to form a volume around the flanged accessories, which is not filled with insulating material (perlite) in the space between the enclosure and separation column. For safety reasons, flange connections must not be surrounded by the insulating material (perlite). To ensure external accessibility of flanged accessories, such as gauges, these accessories are surrounded by the bulkhead.
- This partition can be advantageously attached to the pipe bridge modules. By the partition, a cavity is formed around the flanged accessories, which also represents a cavity insulation.
- the foreclosure is expediently filled in rigid areas, preferably about 400 mm, behind the gas-tight access in the enclosure (for example, a manhole) with glass wool.
- the separation column is formed by an air separation column.
- This may, for example, be a double air separation unit having a pressure column, a low pressure column and a main condenser.
- the casing is the wall of a coldbox whose voids are filled with insulating powder (Perlite) before the system is put into operation.
- FIG. 1 shows a separation column (1) with pipe bridge modules (2a-2d), which is installed according to the assembly method according to the invention in a gas separation plant.
- the separation column (1) is prefabricated in a workshop and equipped with pipe bridge modules (2a-d).
- the separation column (1) is stored horizontally, so that the tube bridge modules (2a-d) along an axis parallel to the preferred axis of the separation column (1) axis on the upper half of the shell.
- the assembly of the accessories is carried out at least partially with horizontal storage of the separation column (1) to the pipe bridge modules (2a-d).
