Definitions
- Distillation installation comprising columns with cross-corrugated structured packing and method for increasing the capacity of a distillation installation
- the present invention relates to a distillation installation comprising columns with cross-corrugated structured packing and to a method for increasing the capacity of a distillation installation.
- it is a cryogenic distillation installation.
- the cross-corrugated packings consist of modules or "packs" each of which is formed by a stack of corrugated strips obliquely, alternately in one direction and in the other. These strips can be perforated or not, and produced from smooth or textured sheets, generally metallic. Examples are described in GB-A-1 004 046 and in CA-A-1 095 827.
- the bands are contained in general vertical planes.
- the modules are generally rotated 90 ° around the axis of the column from one module to the next, and it has been shown that these changes of direction cause blockages at the interfaces between the modules which limit the load that can be treated by the column.
- WO-A-97/16 247 describes a wave whose generatrices are curved at each end to become vertical at the upper and lower edges of the module.
- the lower part of the module may contain more perforations than the central part
- the waves may be of reduced height in the lower part of the module compared to the height of the waves in a central region or the lower end of the module may contain cuts.
- These modified interface packings are much more sensitive to maldistribution than conventional unmodified interface packings.
- the gain in capacity of certain packings with modified interface decreases. Efficiency losses can also be observed at high liquid load, due to the entrainment of one phase by another.
- a module with an unmodified interface is a module of structured packings of the wavy-cross type having waves having substantially the same geometry over the entire height of the module, without cutouts at the lower end.
- a module with modified interface is a module of structured packings of the corrugated-cross type having waves with a central region inside the module and constituting at least 50% of the height of the module and a lower region going up to the lower end of the module, the module being modified in the lower region relative to the central region so that the resistance to the passage of a gas is reduced there compared to that of the gas in the central region.
- a module with modified interfaces is a module of structured packings of the corrugated-cross type having waves with a central region inside the module and constituting at least 50% of the height of the module, a lower region going up to the lower end of the module and an upper region extending to the upper end of the module, the module being modified in the lower and upper regions relative to the central region so that the resistance to the passage of a gas is there reduced compared to that of gas in the central region.
- the packings mentioned in this document preferably have a specific surface ranging from 250 m 2 / m 3 to 900 m 2 / m 3 . According to a preferred embodiment, these are perforated linings with a smooth surface.
- the module with modified interface is a module as described above but also comprising an upper region extending to the upper end of the module, the module being modified in the upper region relative to the central region so that the resistance to the passage of a gas is reduced there compared to that of the gas in the central region. All the resistance reduction means described in EP-A-0707885 can be envisaged.
- the waves have a modified geometry in the lower region (and possibly in the upper region) so that the generatrices of the corrugations are curved at one (each) end to become vertical at the lower (and upper) edge (s). ) of the module.
- the lower region may at the same time include other modifications which may reduce the resistance to the passage of gas.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a separation installation which overcomes the shortcomings of known installations and which, in particular, makes it possible to take advantage of the advantages of packings with modified interface while reducing the negative effects by judicious mixing of the packings with and without modified interface.
- a distillation installation possibly cryogenic, comprising a column system and means for sending a flow to be separated, possibly cooled and purified, in a column of the column system, at least one section of a column adapted to operate in operation i) with a rate ratio below a rate ratio threshold, this rate ratio being the ratio between its actual reflux rate and the minimum reflux rate of the section, and / or ii) with a charge ratio above a charge ratio threshold, this charge ratio being the ratio between a falling liquid flow rate and the section of the section, containing structured packings, the module (s) of which (s) is (are) with an unmodified interface and characterized in that at least one section of a column adapted to operate in operation at a rate ratio above the rate ratio threshold and / or with a load ratio in d essous of a load ratio threshold contains structured packings of which the module (s) has (have) at least one modified interface.
- the rate ratio threshold could be 1.05 and the load ratio threshold could be 400 l / h / dm 2 .
- the sections of a column adapted to operate in operation with a reflux rate ratio below the rate ratio threshold and / or with a charge ratio above the charge ratio threshold contain structured packings of which the module (s) is (are) with an unmodified interface and the sections of a column adapted to operate in operation at a rate of reflux rate above the rate ratio threshold and / or at a ratio load below the load ratio threshold contain structured packings whose modules have at least one modified interface.
- the installation may be a cryogenic air distillation installation comprising a medium pressure column and a low pressure column thermally connected to each other, optionally a column operating at an intermediate pressure between the medium and low pressures and means for supplying this column to from the medium pressure column, means for sending air at least to the medium pressure column and in which for the medium pressure column and / or the low pressure column and possibly the intermediate pressure column, at least one lower section of the column contains an unmodified interface module and at least one upper section contains a modified interface module.
- the installation may be a cryogenic air distillation installation comprising a medium pressure column and a thermally connected low pressure column, an argon column, means for sending air at least to the medium pressure column and means to send an argon-enriched gas from the low pressure column to the argon column in which at least one of the sections of the argon column, preferably all of the sections of the argon column, contain an interface module (s) not modified when at least one section of the low pressure column or the medium pressure column contains a module with modified interface.
