M01 ~ M0N, is membrane separation apparatus, can be board-like film, rolled film, hollow-fibre membrane, wherein, A0 is that the feed side entrance of membrane separation apparatus is also gas inlet, A1 is that retained gas outlet is also waste gas outlet, and A2 is that membrane separation apparatus suction side is also per-meate side outlet, oxygen-rich air outlet.
Membrane separation apparatus and the membrane sepn oxygen of explaining for convenience membrane sepn process, as shown in Figure 1, lexical or textual analysis is as follows:
M01 ~ M0N is as shown in Figure 1 a kind of 3 mouthfuls of membrane separators, each membrane separator is at least by 1 unstripped gas entrance A0,1 retained gas outlet A1,1 oozes vent outlet A2 composition, and the separation membrane in membrane separation apparatus has at least been divided into both sides, one side is malleation side, one side is suction side, and malleation side is also the unstripped gas side of membrane separation apparatus, also referred to as high-tension side, retained gas side, suction side is also the infiltrating gas side of membrane separation apparatus, also referred to as low-tension side, suction side;
That prior art be take membrane oxygen enrichment technology and provided the process of oxygenant as stove oxygen-enriched combustion-supporting as shown in Figure 1, wherein, gas filters out the malleation side that enters membrane separation apparatus from the A0 of membrane separation apparatus entrance after the impurity such as dust boost by AB01 through AF01, in membrane separation apparatus, gas is penetrated into low-tension side through membrane sepn rear portion, per-meate side enrichment becomes oxygen enrichment to export from A2, in addition a part of enrichment be difficult to infiltration oxygen deprivation nitrogen-rich gas be excluded from membrane separation apparatus from being detained side outlet A1, membrane sepn process for separating oxygen enrichment in air, general, the oxygen nitrogen separation factor (being called alpha value) of the purity of membrane sepn oxygen producing and separation membrane, gas is more relevant than the ratio of (being called separating pressure ratio) and unstripped gas and oxygen enriched product gas (being called sky oxygen ratio) with the absolute pressure of suction side by membrane separation apparatus malleation side, oxygen nitrogen separation factor is higher, mean and can than under isolate more highly purified oxygen rich gas at lower separating pressure ratio and less empty oxygen, for identical separation membrane, separating pressure is than higher, can obtain more highly purified oxygen enrichment, empty oxygen is than larger, can obtain more highly purified oxygen enrichment, and on the other hand, the flow that membrane sepn is produced oxygen enrichment is the infiltration capacity of separation membrane, main relevant with temperature and the pressure of unstripped gas, for identical separation membrane, separation temperature is higher, infiltration capacity is larger, separating pressure is higher, infiltration capacity is larger,
In a typical membrane sepn process that rolling or board-like separator carry out as adopted, AB01 mainly take to meet provides fresh air as main purpose, overcome the resistance that fluid is carried, typically, adopt rolling diaphragm separator, 1~10KPa boosts, preferably, set up the gas communication resistance that the blast of 2~5KPa has to overcome rolled film itself, and adopt board-like film, even only need to set up tens of blast to hundreds of handkerchief, more have AB01 is placed on after board-like film to the way as exhaust gas emission blower fan, object is also only used to overcome resistance that raw air enters membrane separation apparatus so that the object of fresh air to be constantly provided, for avoiding concentration polarization phenomenon, popular saying be to need constantly to meet separated required fresh air, the air quantity of AB01 is looked the alpha value of parting material and required oxygen-enriched purity requirement, typically, as the rolled film made from the separation membrane of alpha value 2~3, board-like film, in order to obtain the oxygen enrichment of 30% left and right, typically, through AB01, enter the required air quantity of membrane separation apparatus M01 ~ M0N and be approximately 8~20 times of oxygen-rich air flow, more typical, for 10~15 times of required oxygen enrichment flow, simultaneously, AB02 mainly take that to meet separated required pressure ratio be main purpose, the separating pressure ratio of setting up skinning both sides is 2~10, more typical, the rolled film of making at 2~3 separation membrane at the alpha value that adopts parting material, board-like film, when required oxygen-enriched purity is 30% left and right, the separating pressure ratio that approximately needs to set up skinning both sides is 4 left and right, , as the malleation wall pressure of the film blast that is 1~5KPa, absolute pressure is normal atmosphere (101.325KPa)+(1~5KPa), suction side should be set up the vacuum tightness of be equivalent to-75KPa of about 25Kpa(gauge pressure) absolute pressure, like this, separating pressure is than being 4 times of [101.325+ (2~5KPa)]/25 ≌, can obtain approximately 30% oxygen-enriched purity,
As accompanying drawing 1, with reference to above-mentioned, professional and technical personnel can understand, unstripped gas enters the isolated waste gas of M01 ~ M0N through AB01 and gets rid of from A1, oxygen enrichment is collected to send into through AB02 and is used gas point, in order to obtain stable oxygen purity, oxygen flow, air quantity, the blast of AB01 in this process, because of type selecting, have been determined, the air quantity of AB02, blast, also type selecting has been determined membrane separation apparatus M01 ~ M0N, the oxygen nitrogen separation factor of its parting material and separating area are all definite, when applied environment temperature variation, will change according to following trend:
When 1, envrionment temperature raises, the temperature that enters membrane separation apparatus raises, and will strengthen, simultaneously for its infiltration capacity of membrane separation apparatus of determining area and material assertive evidence characteristic, the rising of separation temperature, also will cause the decline of separation factor, what is more important, because the increasing of infiltration capacity, the pumping speed of the vacuum pump AB02 that directly causes arranging can not be met and is drawn into predetermined separating pressure, this is all by the reduction of the oxygen-enriched purity that causes separating, and meanwhile, the oxygen enrichment flow of separating will rise;
When 2, envrionment temperature declines, the temperature that enters membrane separation apparatus declines, and for its infiltration capacity of membrane separation apparatus of determining area and material assertive evidence characteristic, will reduce, simultaneously, the rising of separation temperature, also will cause the rising of separation factor, what is more important, because reducing of infiltration capacity, the pumping speed of the vacuum pump AB02 that directly causes arranging is excessive, until surpass predetermined separating pressure, this is all by the rising of the oxygen-enriched purity that causes separating, meanwhile, the oxygen enrichment flow of separating will decline;
Above, because the change of envrionment temperature all produces significantly fluctuation by directly causing for oxygen-rich combustion-supporting system provides oxygen enrichment flow or the oxygen-enriched purity that the film separating system of oxygenant is produced, be unfavorable for carrying out oxygen-enriched combustion-supporting;
Membrane sepn method for supplying oxygen provided by the invention and system are as shown in Figure 2.Different from original technology, the present invention is by a regulating loop in parallel with vacuum pump, the pressure of continuous monitoring vacuum pump inlet, when envrionment temperature reduces, by adjusting the variable valve on this loop, the oxygen enrichment returning as the extraneous air to supplement or circulation compensates the inlet pressure of vacuum pump, Indirect method transmembrane pressure ratio, thereby can obtain stable oxygen-enriched purity or stable oxygen enrichment flow; When envrionment temperature raises, by adjusting the variable valve on this loop, by unnecessary oxygen enrichment emptying, thereby can will meet in the scope that oxygen-enriched combustion-supporting requires because temperature variation causes the fluctuation of purity or flow to eliminate or be relieved to.
As accompanying drawing 2, by a regulating loop in parallel with vacuum pump, can carry out vacuum pump inlet pressure compensation, by adjusting the V102 on this regulating loop, V101 variable valve, can Indirect method film separating system transmembrane pressure ratio, the film separating system (the former oxygen-rich air that produces approximately 30% purity) according to 4 times of pressure ratio designs of take is example, in the situation that other separation condition is all constant, as typically, the air quantity of AB01, blast, the pumping speed of AB02, vacuum tightness, the parting material of membrane separation apparatus is determined and separating area is determined, in these conditions above all under definite condition, the present invention is because having designed this regulating loop, can avoid film separating system because of variation of ambient temperature (the different envrionment temperature differences that application scenario is installed, even same place is because of the spring, summer, autumn and winter, the flow of the oxygen-rich air envrionment temperature difference of morning, noon and afternoon) causing, oxygen purity produces huge variation, this variation is eliminated or is relieved in the scope that meets oxygen-enriched combustion-supporting requirement, the oxygen enrichment flow that at least can reduce purity but can be stable or reduced flow but the oxygen-rich air output that can stablize purity, concrete operations are as follows:
(1) raw air is through filter AF01, after being held back, the corpuscular property impurity such as dust that contain in gas enter rear class separation system, this strainer, as known technology is described, can be the strainer of arbitrary form, comprises the strainer that can adopt complex method, automatically cleaning form;
(2) gas is sent into the device A B01 that boosts after filtering, the device A of boosting B01 enters membrane separation apparatus after air is boosted to the pressure that at least can overcome membrane separation apparatus high-tension side resistance, membrane separation apparatus can be grouped into n group, evenly accept raw air, n organizes the infiltration side joint vacuum pump of membrane separation apparatus in parallel, from vacuum pump outlet output oxygen-rich air, membrane separation apparatus can adopt valve V0n1, V0n2 isolation;
(3) typical, when operating ambient temperature low, as in winter operation or evening temperature compared with normal design temperature when low, as temperature is down to freezing point, now, conventionally because inlet air temperature is low, the infiltration capacity of film significantly reduces, as system is not made to any change, the vacuum tightness of vacuum pump inlet can continue to rise, this will cause vacuum pump overcurrent, and system will be shut down because of protection, and this is obviously inappropriate concerning a stove oxygen-rich combustion-supporting system;
Now, if kiln needs can accept stable flow in other words, but allow lower oxygen-enriched purity, so, can be by opening V102 variable valve to certain aperture, by introducing a part of normal air (containing oxygen approximately 21%), with the inlet pressure of holding vacuum pump, the oxygen enrichment flow that can keep vacuum pump outlet is substantially constant and be only purity drop;
Now, if kiln needs can accept stable purity in other words, but allow the oxygen enrichment of lower flow, so, can be by opening V101 variable valve to certain aperture, oxygen enrichment (containing oxygen approximately 30%) by introducing vacuum pump pump discharge is with the inlet pressure of holding vacuum pump, and the oxygen-enriched purity that can keep vacuum pump outlet is substantially constant and be only that rate of discharge declines;
(4) typical, when operating ambient temperature is high, as in summer operation or the normal design temperature of temperature correction at noon when high, as temperature rises to 45 ℃, now, conventionally because inlet air temperature is high, the infiltration capacity of film significantly increases, the vacuum tightness meeting continuous decrease of vacuum pump inlet, vacuum pump outlet will be discharged more low-purity but the larger oxygen enrichment of flow, if not any change in addition, this will cause follow-uply with gas point pressure, continue rising and causing the excessive and overcurrent of vacuum pump back pressure, system also will be shut down because of protection, this is obviously inappropriate concerning a stove oxygen-rich combustion-supporting system, now, by V103 variable valve, oxygen enrichment is emptying, continuous operation that can holding vacuum pump, stable supply follow-up with gas point regime flow the oxygen enrichment of purity drop,
(5) at vacuum pump, start, shut down, or during in normal course of operation as because of situations such as client's gas consumption minimizings, also can avoid calmly overload, overcurrent even to cause the situations such as accident, frequent shutdown by above-mentioned regulating loop, typically, while starting as vacuum, can, by opening V102, V103, open the bypass of vacuum pump, avoid starting overload, shut down also right; When reduced by the interim gas consumption of client, can open V101 circulation by this loop and return, or directly open V103 emptying, thereby can avoid interim overcurrent, even shutdown.
The present invention is by a regulating loop in parallel with vacuum pump, also can automatically adjust by the pressure of continuous monitoring vacuum pump inlet, when envrionment temperature is reduced to when low compared with design load, by automatically adjusting the variable valve on this loop, as the oxygen enrichment returning with air or circulation compensates the inlet pressure of vacuum pump, Indirect method transmembrane pressure ratio, thereby can obtain stable oxygen-enriched purity or stable oxygen enrichment flow; When envrionment temperature is increased to when high compared with design load, by adjusting the variable valve on this loop, intrasystem unnecessary gas is led to system outside emptying, thereby can, by because temperature variation causes the fluctuation of purity or flow to eliminate or be relieved to be met in the scope that oxygen-enriched combustion-supporting requires, keep the stable of vacuum pump operation.
And, can be by the design's loop, when vacuum pump starts, can be by opening V102, the loop that V103 forms, the load reduction that vacuum pump is started, when follow-up terminal use gas point gas consumption changes, also can make purity or the flow of the oxygen-rich air that obtains more stable relative to existing technologies by method of the present invention, especially comparatively stable when variation of ambient temperature, power-equipment is operated steadily, and, method of the present invention has solved the key technical problem that oxygen-enriched combusting requisite oxygen agent is provided with membrane separating method with relatively inexpensive laid down cost, strengthened the stability of system, the total efficiency of raising system operation.
Priority application of the present invention provides oxygenant in constituent of air membrane sepn process for stove oxygen-enriched combustion-supporting, but disclosed fundamental principle can be used for a lot of other separated occasions.By method of the present invention, can realize separation, the separation of titanium dioxide carbon/nitrogen gas, the separation of hydrogen/nitrogen and olefin/paraffin separated of separation that separated representative instance comprises oxygen/nitrogen, gas drying, carbonic acid gas/methane.
