Description

Air separating method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of air separating method.
Background technology
Before the present invention proposes, because the condensing temperature very low (critical-temperature is-140.7 ℃) of air comes the method for separation of air to require the external world to provide lot of energy to obtain suitable cold by rectifying at low temperatures.Liquefied natural gas (being called for short LNG) is promoted the use of as clean fuel.The Main Ingredients and Appearance of liquefied natural gas is a methane, and the evaporating temperature under the normal pressure is about-160 ℃.Liquefied natural gas is acted as a fuel when using, must and be heated to normal temperature liquefied natural gas gasifying.If the cold of liquefied natural gas is applied in the air-separating plant goes, all be the good thing of killing two birds with one stone still to the use of liquefied natural gas to air separation.
From safety, often adopt nitrogen and liquefied natural gas to carry out the cold exchange.So the air separating method that utilizes cold energy of liquefied natural gas often adopts the mode of nitrogen circulation.In general, through overcompression and the clean raw air after purifying reach capacity by the cold exchange and enter rectifying column after temperature or part are with liquid.Rectifying column is made up of Xia Ta, last tower and main condenser evaporimeter.Raw air carries out initial gross separation at the following tower of rectifying column, obtains oxygen-enriched liquid air in its bottom.After being drawn, this oxygen-enriched liquid air enters Shang Ta as phegma through crossing the cold-peace throttling expansion.Top at following tower obtains gas nitrogen, and by the condensation of liquid oxygen institute, condensed a part of liquid nitrogen becomes the phegma of tower down to part gas nitrogen, goes after another part liquid nitrogen is drawn from condenser/evaporator to converge with the liquid nitrogen in another source in condenser/evaporator.Part gas nitrogen is drawn from the top of tower down after over-heat-exchanger is heated the rear section can be used as product and draw, remainder enters the nitrogen supercharging machine after then converging with another strand nitrogen, and the nitrogen that has improved pressure passes through and enters the liquefied natural gas heat exchanger after water cooler cools off.Nitrogen is cooled and is condensed into liquid nitrogen in this heat exchanger, and liquefied natural gas in this heat exchanger, obtain the gasification and be heated as natural gas after leave to use it for anything else.The liquid nitrogen that leaves heat exchanger enters gas-liquid separator through after the throttling expansion, the liquid nitrogen of separating merges with the liquid nitrogen of drawing from the main condenser evaporimeter, passed through cold back small part and can be used as product and draw, major part is then sent into the phegma of tower as last tower through after the throttling.The gas nitrogen of separating then returns the liquefied natural gas heat exchanger and is heated the back and converges the nitrogen supercharging machine that enters from what following tower was drawn through the heated gas nitrogen of heat exchanger, has finished nitrogen circulation.Tower bottom can obtain the gentle oxygen of liquid oxygen on rectifying column, can obtain returning polluted nitrogen (and nitrogen reflux) at the top.The cold of using liquefied natural gas comes the method and apparatus of separation of air, and the power consumption of unit product has bigger decline, but power consumption also has the leeway that reduces still than higher for the device of producing liquid oxygen and liquid nitrogen.
