Abstract

"SISTEMA DE DESTILAçãO CRIOGêNICA DE GáS, E, PROCESSO PARA PRODUZIR ARGÈNIO SUBSTANCIALMENTE LIVRE DE NITROGêNIO". Um sistema para alcançar um baixo nível de nitrogênio em uma colunca de pressão mais baixa na alimentação para a coluna de argónio em um sistema de separação criogênica de ar por meio do uso de dois leitos de recheio estruturado de altura aproximadamente igual na coluna de pressão mais baixa, com misturação e redistribuição do líquido entre eles. Os leitos recheados estão localizados entre a alimentação proveniente do condensador de topo da coluna de argónio e o ponto onde a alimentação da coluna de argónio é retirada.
