Definitions
- the invention aims to add a degree of freedom to the process by allowing the reflux rates of the two columns to be adjusted independently, in particular in order to reduce the size of the second column, and therefore the corresponding investment.
- the subject of the invention is a process of the aforementioned type, characterized in that a second flow of nitrogen from the high pressure cycle is condensed by vaporization of tank liquid from the first column.
- the invention also relates to an installation intended for the implementation of such a method.
- This installation of the type comprising a double distillation column which itself comprises a first nitrogen / oxygen separation column supplied by the air to be treated, and a second nitrogen / hydrogen separation column, the head of which is coupled to the the first column by a vaporizer-condenser and which comprises a tank vaporizer, and a nitrogen refrigeration cycle the high pressure part of which feeds the tank vaporizer of the second column and then this second column itself, is characterized in that it further comprises means for condensing high pressure cycle nitrogen by vaporization of tank liquid from the first column.
- the installation represented in FIG. 1 essentially comprises an atmospheric air compressor 1, an apparatus 2 for purifying the air of water and CO2 by adsorption, a heat exchange line 3, a turbine 4 for expansion of d air, a double distillation column 5, itself consisting of a column 6 of oxygen / nitrogen separation and a column 7 of nitrogen / hydrogen separation, and a sub-cooler 8.
- Column 6 comprises a head condenser 9 and a tank vaporizer 10, which also serves as a head condenser for column 7.
- the latter is also equipped with a tank vaporizer 11.
- the installation also includes a nitrogen refrigeration cycle 12, the cycle compressor of which is indicated at 13.
- the air to be treated, compressed at 1 and purified at 2 is cooled at 3 to an intermediate temperature T.
- T the air to be treated, compressed at 1 and purified at 2
- the air to be treated is cooled at 3 to an intermediate temperature T.
- T the air to be treated, compressed at 1 and purified at 2
- a bypass 15 of the turbine 4, equipped with an expansion valve 16 makes it possible to adjust the cooling power thus produced.
- the resulting gas LRV (liquid rich vaporized) is then warmed to room temperature in 3 and then discharged from the installation, as waste gas, via a line 18.
- liquid from the bottom of the column 7 is also, after sub-cooling at 8 and expansion in an expansion valve 22, introduced at the top of the column 6.
- the air is separated in column 6 into a liquid rich in oxygen and in cycle nitrogen, and part of the cycle nitrogen is purified into hydrogen in column 7.
- the separated hydrogen is evacuated from the vaporizer-condenser 10 via a vent 23 provided in its condensation passages of the head gas of the column 7.
- ultra-pure nitrogen for example at a hydrogen concentration of less than 10 ⁇ 9 (1 ppb), which is collected in the tank of column 7, and a production rate of Ultra-pure gaseous nitrogen is drawn off at the bottom of this column via a line 24, warmed to ambient temperature at 3 and recovered via a production line 25.
- ordinary purity nitrogen for example at a hydrogen concentration of the order of ppm (10 ⁇ 6)
- a line 26 pricked just upstream of the cycle compressor 13 and / or at the high pressure of the cycle via a pipe 27 pricked just downstream of this compressor.
- the invention is particularly advantageous when the ultra-pure nitrogen to be produced represents only a fraction of the total nitrogen production of the installation.
