Abstract

EN UN PROCESO PARA LA SEPARACION DEL AIRE, PARA MANTENER CONSTANTES LAS PUREZAS DE LOS PRODUCTOS GASEOSOS DE UNA COLUMNA DE DESTILACION (24), SE INTRODUCE UN EXCEDENTE DE UN LIQUIDO RICO EN NITROGENO EN LA COLUMNA (24) SI LA DEMANDA DE PRODUCTO Y EL CAUDAL DE AIRE DE ALIMENTACION AUMENTAN. CUANDO DISMINUYEN, SE RETIRA UN EXCEDENTE DEL LIQUIDO RICO EN NITROGENO DE LA COLUMNA (24).
