Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
  • the distillation column system of the invention may be designed as a two-column system (for example as a classic Linde double column system) or as a three-column or multi-column system. It may in addition to the columns for nitrogen-oxygen separation, further devices for obtaining high purity products and / or other air components, in particular of noble gases, for example, an argon production and / or a krypton-xenon recovery
  • a liquid pressurized oxygen product stream is vaporized against a heat carrier and finally recovered as a gaseous pressure product.
  • This method is also called internal compression. It serves for the production of pressure oxygen. In the case of a supercritical pressure, no phase transition takes place in the true sense, the product stream is then "pseudo-evaporated".
  • a high-pressure heat carrier is liquefied (or pseudo-liquefied when it is under supercritical pressure).
  • the heat transfer medium is often formed by part of the air, in the present case by the "second partial flow" of the compressed feed air.

  • the "main heat exchanger system” serves to cool feed air in indirect heat exchange with return streams from the distillation column system. It may be formed of one or more parallel and / or serially connected heat exchanger sections, for example one or more plate heat exchanger blocks.
  • the method of the invention belongs to the class of high pressure processes in which the total air in a main air compressor is compressed to well above high pressure column pressure.
  • the system works with a single externally driven machine, namely this main air compressor.
  • the configuration in which the compressed cooled and purified air is split into two streams - turbine stream ("second substream") and inductor stream ("first substream”).
  • the turbine stream is cooled in the heat exchanger and then relaxed in a turbine, for example, to the pressure of the high pressure column and passed into this.
  • the throttle flow is in a booster stage (“compressor"), driven by the turbine, recompressed, passed through the heat exchanger and thereby cooled and is then passed into the rectification section.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a method of the type mentioned above and a corresponding device, which are economically particularly favorable, especially at a relatively small inductor current ("first partial flow").
  • a recirculation flow which is formed by a part of the first partial flow of air (the throttle flow) guided through the after-compressor, flows in a circle through the after-compressor. This increases the amount of air to be compressed in the booster.
  • the recycle stream is preferably withdrawn at the exit from the main heat exchanger (at the cold end), depressurized in a throttle valve to a pressure slightly higher than the pressure before entry into the reboiler.
  • the relaxed recycle stream is passed through the main heat exchanger and mixed again with the first part stream before entering the reboiler.
  • This recirculation of the inductor current causes the amount of gas to be compressed in the booster stage (the booster) to increase, the pressure ratio being smaller and the booster and turbine volumes match better.
  • a conventional buildable and particularly efficient booster turbine can be used.
  • the heating of the return flow can be carried out up to the warm end of the main heat exchanger or up to an intermediate temperature.
  • the introduction of the recirculation stream into the first partial stream upstream of the postcompressor can in principle also be effected by introducing the recycle stream into the total air stream before it is divided; the "return to the first partial flow" is then performed upstream of the branch of the first partial flow from the second partial flow.
  • the recycle stream is introduced into the first substream immediately before the postcompressor.
  • the system has only a single externally driven compressor, the main air compressor, and only a single expansion machine (turbine). Despite this comparatively simple structure, it is very energy-efficient by the process of the invention.
  • the total air is compressed in the invention to a first air pressure, which is for example 10 to 30 bar and preferably between 10 and 20 bar.
  • the invention also relates to a device according to claim 4.
  • the device according to the invention can be supplemented by device features which correspond to the features of the dependent method claims.
  • Atmospheric air 1 is sucked in via a filter from a main air compressor 3 and compressed there to a first air pressure of about 18 bar.
  • the main air compressor preferably has several stages with intermediate cooling.
  • the compressed total air is then cooled in a pre-cooler 4 and cleaned in a cleaning device 5.
  • the purified feed air 6 is divided under the first air pressure into a first partial flow 7 and a second partial flow 8.
  • approximately 45% of the total air 6 forms the first partial flow 7, the remainder the second partial flow 8.
  • the first partial flow 7 is fed via line 9 to a secondary compressor 10 with aftercooler 11 and further compressed there to a second air pressure of about 28 bar.
  • the booster 10 is formed in one stage.
  • the post-compressed first partial flow 12 is fed to a main heat exchanger 13 at the warm end, where it is cooled and liquefied and finally withdrawn again at the cold end via line 14.
  • Most of the liquefied first substream is introduced via line 15 and throttle valve 16 in the distillation column system for nitrogen-oxygen separation, which has a high pressure column 17, a low pressure column 18 and a main condenser 19, which is designed as a condenser-evaporator.
  • the operating pressures are 5 to 6 bar in the high-pressure column and 1.2 to 1.6 bar in the low-pressure column.
  • a portion of the introduced into the high-pressure column 17 liquid air is removed again via line 20, cooled in a supercooling countercurrent 21 and fed via throttle valve 22 in the low-pressure column 18.
  • the second partial stream 8 of the feed air is cooled in the main heat exchanger 13 only to an intermediate temperature.
  • the cooled second partial flow 23 is introduced into a relaxation machine, which is formed here by a turbine 24.
  • the second air stream is working expanded relaxed to something about high pressure column pressure.
  • the expanded second partial stream 25 is fed in completely gaseous or substantially completely gaseous state of the high-pressure column immediately above the sump.
  • the expansion machine 24 is directly mechanically coupled to the booster compressor 10, in particular sit after-compressor and turbine on a common shaft.
  • Argon portion 30 comprises a split crude argon column and a pure argon column, is fed by an argon transition fraction 31 and provides a liquid pure argon (LAR) product 32. Otherwise, it operates according to known principles.
  • the top nitrogen 33 of the high-pressure column 17 is condensed at least to a part 34 in the main condenser 19.
  • the liquid nitrogen obtained is fed to a first part 36 as reflux to the high-pressure column 17.
  • a second part 37 is cooled in the subcooling countercurrent 21 and fed via throttle valve 38 into the top of the low pressure column 18. At least a part of it is used as a liquid reflux in the low-pressure column 18.
  • an oxygen product stream is produced 39 withdrawn liquid and brought in liquid state to an elevated pressure of about 30 bar.
  • the high-pressure oxygen 41 is vaporized in the main heat exchanger 13 and warmed to approximately ambient temperature. Via line 42, it is finally recovered as an internally compressed pressure oxygen product (GOX-IC).
  • a portion 60 of the warm residual gas 54 can be used as a regeneration gas (regas gas) in the cleaning device 5.
  • liquid argon 32 can be internally compressed from the argon part 30 in a pump 55 and recovered after (pseudo) evaporation via line 56 as gaseous pressure product (GAR-IC).
  • GAR-IC gaseous pressure product
  • a recycle stream 57 is branched off from the liquefied first substream 14, here downstream of the cold end of the main heat exchanger 12.
  • the recycle stream 57 when depressurized in a throttle valve 58 to a pressure of slightly more than 18 bar, returns to the cold end of the main heat exchanger fed and warmed there to an intermediate temperature of 260 K.
  • the warmed recycle stream 59 is finally fed to the first part stream 7 upstream of the post-compressor 10.
  • the booster 10 in FIG. 1 is operated in warm conditions, ie with an inlet temperature no more than 20 K below ambient temperature.
  • FIG. 2 differs from FIG. 1 in that the after-compressor 110 is operated as a cold compressor, that is to say with an inlet temperature which is more than 20 K below the ambient temperature, in the example at 210 ° K.
  • the recirculation flow 159 also becomes at a lower intermediate temperature of approximately 205 K taken from the main heat exchanger 13 and only downstream of the cooling of the first partial flow 107 combined with this.
  • the division into first partial flow 107 and second partial flow 123 takes place here within the main heat exchanger 13.
  • the recompressed first substream 112 is fed to the main heat exchanger 13 at an intermediate temperature.
  • the expansion machine 124 is not only mechanically coupled to the cold booster 110. Rather, there is an additional oil brake 161 on the common shaft (alternative to the oil brake, a generator could also be used).
  • a second turbine 224 is used instead of the oil brake, which is coupled to a generator 261.
  • a dissipative brake for example an oil brake.
  • the first turbine 124 is mechanically connected only to the cold secondary compressor 110.
  • the two turbines 124, 224 each have the same pressures and temperatures at the inlet and outlet.
  • FIG. 4 differs from the previous embodiments in that the recycle stream 357 is branched off from the first part stream already before the cold end of the main heat exchanger, ie at something at a higher temperature, which may not be higher than dew point, in the example under 130 K. Die During the expansion in the throttle valve 358 generated cold can thus contribute to the cooling of feed air in the main heat exchanger 13.
  • the pre-cooling 4 and the cleaning 5 can be performed at a lower pressure than the first air pressure, as in FIG. 5 is shown.
  • the system must then in addition to the main air compressor 403 another externally driven air compressor 463 having the total purified air 462 from this lower air pressure of, for example, 18 bar to the first air pressure recompressed.
  • the air compressor 463 has an aftercooler, which is not shown in the drawing, and may be of one or more stages and may have an intermediate cooling.
