Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of air distillation as defined in the preamble to the Claim 1.
- a method is known for example from document FR-A-2 169 561
- FR-A-2 169 561 describes a process for the distillation of air in which a mixing column is fed by a liquid oxygen flow rate, from a double column and by some of the air supply to the double column. This mixing column operates at a pressure substantially the same as that of the middle column double column pressure.
- the invention aims to satisfy such needs economically, i.e. to allow, with a investment and relatively energy consumption low, the production of impure oxygen to purity and pressure chosen at will and, if necessary, production practically pure oxygen.
- the invention relates to a method of air distillation by means of a double column of distillation coupled to a mixing column, such as defined in claim 1.
- Said liquid may be the tank liquid of the low pressure column, especially oxygen practically without nitrogen, or be racked a few trays above from the low pressure column tank.
- the invention also relates to the application of process defined above for supplying gas to a steelworks, said impure oxygen being produced under pressure from the blast furnace and being sent to the latter.
- the air distillation installation shown in FIG. 1 is intended to produce impure oxygen, for example having a purity of 80 to 97% and preferably 85 to 95%, under a determined pressure P clearly different from 6 x 10 5 Pa abs., For example advantageously at a higher pressure of at least 2 x 10 5 Pa and possibly up to approximately 30 x 10 5 Pa, preferably between 8 x 10 5 Pa and 15 x 10 5 Pa.
- the installation essentially comprises a heat exchange line 1, a double distillation column 2 itself comprising a medium pressure column 3, a low pressure column 4 and a main condenser-vaporizer 5, and a mixing column 6 Columns 3 and 4 typically operate at approximately 6 x 10 5 Pa and approximately 1 x 10 5 Pa, respectively.
- a mixing column is a column which has the same structure as a distillation column but which is used for mixing close to reversibility a relatively volatile gas, introduced at its base, and a less volatile liquid, introduced at the top.
- Such a mixture produces cooling energy and therefore reduces the energy consumption linked to the distillation.
- this mixture is brought to profit, in addition, to produce oxygen directly impure under pressure P, as will be described below.
- the air to be separated by distillation, compressed to 6 x 10 5 Pa and suitably purified, is conveyed to the base of the medium pressure column 3 by a pipe 7. Most of this air is cooled in the exchange line 1 and introduced at the base of the medium pressure column 3, and the rest, boosted at 8 then cooled, is expanded at low pressure in a turbine 9 coupled to the booster 8, then blown at an intermediate point of the low pressure column 4.
- "Rich liquid” air enriched with oxygen
- Liquid oxygen more or less pure depending on the setting of the double column 2, is withdrawn from the tank of column 4, carried by a pump 13 at a pressure P1, slightly higher than the pressure P above to take account of losses load (P1-P less than 1 x 10 5 Pa), and introduced at the top of column 6.
- P1 is therefore advantageously between 8 x 10 5 Pa and 30 x 10 5 Pa, preferably between 8 x 10 5 Pa and 16 x 10 5 Pa.
- auxiliary heat exchangers 19, 20, 21 ensuring the recovery of cold available in fluids on circulation in the installation.
- the installation can simultaneously produce oxygen impure from column 6, oxygen to purity and different pressures, including almost pure oxygen, by drawing off at the bottom of column 4.
- This oxygen can be supplied in gaseous form, via a conduit 22 passing through the exchange line 1, under the low pressure of column 4 or under pressure, in particular by pumping the liquid forward 23 its warming in the exchange line it can also be liquefied and sent to storage 24.
- figure 3 differs from that of the Figure 2 by the fact that it also includes a column 25 for producing impure argon coupled, in a conventional manner, at the low pressure column 4.
- impure oxygen is produced not not by the low pressure column 4 but by the mixture 6 produces impure oxygen containing very little argon, which leaves the possibility of producing in addition to argon, provided of course that oxygen liquid drawn off and pumped in year 13 has sufficient purity, in particular at least equal to 98%.
- the auxiliary air at pressure P1 can be air suitably refined atmosphere, but also come from an additional process comprising an air compressor. he can for example air taken from the inlet of a gas and the pressure of which is possibly adjusted by means a pressure booster or an expansion turbine. More generally one can use to power the base of the mixing column 6, a mixture of less rich air gases we oxygenate only the liquid taken from the lower part of the pressure bases column, in particular of impure nitrogen possibly from the installation itself,
- the invention makes it possible to simultaneously produce, under particularly economical conditions investment and energy consumption, oxygen pure or nearly pure, impure oxygen and argon.
- the oxygen produced by column 4 is practically nitrogen-free and can therefore be used in the converters of a steelworks.
- the installation, under the shape of Figure 2, thus allows to feed both these pure oxygen converters and the blast furnace the impure oxygen steelworks at the pressure of the blast furnace, in its form of FIG. 3, the installation can supply in addition the steelworks in Argon.
