2.Process flow description

The air enters the compressor after passing through the self-cleaning filter. The compressed air enters the pre-cooling system, where it is cooled to 10°C.

The compressed air from the pre-cooling system enters the pre-purification system to remove moisture, carbon dioxide, some hydrocarbons, etc. The prepurification system consists of two vertically mounted vessels with automatic switching operation. When a container's adsorption capacity is exhausted, the container will be switched to regeneration status. At the same time, another container will take on the job of purifying compressed air. The regeneration process uses exhaust gas from the cold box that passes through an electric heater.

The air coming out of the purification system will be divided into two streams, with one small stream serving as instrument air.

One stream flows to the main heat exchanger, is quickly cooled to a temperature close to liquefaction, and enters the lower part of the pressure nitrogen tower to begin fractionation.

The rising gas and falling liquid in the distillation column can be in complete contact. After the exchange of heat and mass transfer, the nitrogen content in the rising gas continues to rise, producing pure nitrogen at the top of the tower.

 

Part of it is drawn out as qualified product nitrogen and reheated to normal temperature in the main heat exchanger to be used by users. Part of the gaseous pure nitrogen is condensed by liquid air in the main cooling and used as pressure nitrogen tower reflux liquid.

 

Liquid air is the liquid drawn from the bottom of the lower tower. After passing through the subcooler, it is throttled and enters the low-pressure nitrogen tower. A part of the waste liquid nitrogen from the low-pressure nitrogen tower flows through the cooler and is throttled to exchange heat with the nitrogen produced by the low-pressure nitrogen tower. After it becomes gaseous, it is then cold-introduced into the main heat exchanger and reheated to a certain temperature to expand the expansion end of the expander.

 

After cooling, it goes to the main heat exchanger to reheat to normal temperature after exiting the expander. Part of it is heated by an electric heater to be used as regeneration gas for molecular sieves, and part of it goes to the silencer for venting.

Part of the liquid nitrogen formed after the nitrogen in the low-pressure nitrogen tower is condensed is used as its own reflux liquid, and part of it is used as a supplementary reflux liquid for the pressure nitrogen tower through the liquid nitrogen pump.

Main equipment description

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur

 

Air filter system

The raw air filter fully considers the local climate characteristics and can replace the filter element without stopping. The filter is designed for horizontal air intake, filtration efficiency: 99.99% (dust diameter > 1 μm), pressure drop range: 150 ~ 650Pa, and the processing air volume is designed to be 2.0 times the air volume (backflush air pressure 0.45MPa). A protective net is installed around the filter to block dead grass, leaves and other debris, and prevent large particles from damaging the filter element. The filter is equipped with an automatic control system that can automatically backflush at scheduled times and adjust the program according to the filter resistance.

 

Precooler

1) The main engine of the pre-cooling unit, the refrigeration compressor, uses a semi-hermetic screw refrigeration compressor, which operates silently, saves energy, has a long life, and has high refrigeration efficiency, fully ensuring the safe operation of the refrigeration compressor;
2)The pre-cooling unit adopts advanced precision pressure and temperature instruments, which can display parameters such as compressed air pressure, refrigerant high and low pressure temperatures, etc. to monitor the operating status of the pre-cooling unit. 
3) The instrument panel and the entire refrigeration system of the pre-cooling unit are of skid-mounted design, with compact structure, easy installation and beautiful appearance.

 

Fractionation tower cold box

The design of the fractionating tower is advanced, the process flow is mature and stable, and the design complies with the pressure vessel design specifications. 
It mainly has the following characteristics:
1) Use advanced calculation software, combined with the user's climate conditions and public engineering conditions, to calculate the process flow of air separation equipment and the calculation of the distillation tower;
2) The upper tower and lower tower adopt packed towers
3) The main heat exchanger adopts a long-plate, large-section vacuum-brazed aluminum plate-fin heat exchanger, which reduces the temperature difference at the hot end, controls the loss of cooling capacity, reduces energy consumption and so on.
 

 

purifier system

The molecular sieve purifier is filled with a sufficient amount of adsorbent with good strength, particle size, adsorption performance and service life, and the automatic switching cycle is 8 hours. It mainly has the following characteristics:
1) Equipped with an air flow uniform  distribution device, which has a long life, saves investment and reduces energy consumption;
2) A built-in powder filter is used at the outlet to effectively prevent dust from entering the cold box and ensure the long-term stable operation of the air separation equipment.

 

Circulating water system

It is the most widely used industrial cooling design. It consists of pumps, heat exchangers, and cooling towers. The pumps keep the water recirculating through heat exchangers where it picks up heat and moves it to the cooling tower where heat is released from the water through evaporation.

1) The cooling water tower adopts an open cooling water tower, which is reliable in operation;
2) The fan adopts two-stage speed regulation to meet the operation of different climate conditions.

 

Liquid nitrogen backup pressure regulation system

1) The liquid nitrogen backup system adopts the form of a vacuum storage tank, the vaporizer adopts an air bath type, and the vaporizer adopts a 1-use and 1-standby mode, which can be switched between each other.
2) The backup nitrogen and cold box nitrogen are seamlessly connected in terms of control, ensuring the normal supply of nitrogen in the event of device nitrogen failure.

3. Product advantages:
1) Product customization, tailored to customer needs;
2) Skid-mounted design, easy to install;
3) Low energy consumption, saving operating costs;
4) More than 20 years of overseas engineering design experience;
5) The high nitrogen device is unattended and has a high degree of automation.
