Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the variable production of gaseous
- the distillation column system can 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 highly pure products and / or other air components, in particular of noble gases, for example, an argon production and / or a krypton-xenon recovery.
- nitrogen-oxygen separation further devices for obtaining highly pure 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 is then "pseudo-evaporated".
- a high-pressure heat carrier is liquefied (or pseudo-liquefied when it is under supercritical pressure).
- DFE liquid turbine
- Electricity tariff fluctuations in the area of industrial plants are getting bigger and bigger. Influenced by the certain seasonal fluctuations, the fluctuation range of the electricity tariff is also determined by the day-night cycle. When there is a low power requirement in the grid (for example at night), there may be an excess of electricity. However, this surplus is to be reduced and is therefore offered for a lower price. If the electricity demand in the grid increases (for example, during the day), the price of electricity also increases. Depending on the region and special
- Framework conditions can vary electricity prices in one place by a factor of five or even more.
- a method according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from EP 793070 A2.
- the invention has for its object to provide a method of the type mentioned above and a corresponding device that require a relatively low cost of equipment, yet allow variable in a particularly wide range operation of the system in terms of energy consumption and work very efficiently.
- Patent claim 1 solved.
- the system With low energy supply and high electricity price, the system is operated in the second mode. It is by the supply of liquid oxygen Both cold introduced into the system as well as already performed separation work. The oxygen, which is supplied from outside, no longer needs to be generated in the system. Accordingly, the total amount of air introduced into the plant can be reduced. It is also possible to reduce the production of refrigeration, in extreme cases to zero. The turbine flow (second partial flow) is thus reduced or even completely switched off. The amount of gaseous pressure oxygen product remains the same or substantially the same. Under “essentially the same” here becomes one
- booster also called BAC called "booster air compressor”
- boost air compressor for the second and the third partial flow of air used;
- the corresponding after-compressor is designed to be double-stranded. This causes a particularly wide range in which the total amount of feed air and thus the energy consumption of the system can be varied.
- the energy consumption in a second mode is reduced to 50% by switching off one of the two booster and operating the other in underload (about 0%) of the
- Total air flow is first compressed, it may also be formed multi-stranded or optionally single-stranded.
- the two booster have, for example, 2 to 5 stages, in particular 3 to 4 stages.
- three or more parallel-connected booster for the second and the third partial flow of air can be used; the booster is then formed three or more stranded.
- upstream or downstream of the multistage reboiler additional boosters can be used which compress the second and third sub-streams individually or jointly.
- first pressure first partial flow, so-called throttle flow
- second high pressure second partial flow
- Turbine flow may be the same or different. It is also possible to compress the total air to the first or second high pressure; Alternatively, the total air is compressed to a lower pressure, for example, the high pressure column pressure plus line losses, and the first and / or the second partial flow of the air are recompressed.
- the second partial flow is after his work-performing relaxation usually at least partially, preferably completely or substantially completely introduced into the high-pressure column.
- total airflow is meant the amount of air that is ultimately introduced into the distillation column system. This is done in different ways, in the form of two, three or more part streams, which flow through the main heat exchanger on at least one section.
- Oxygen stream may be produced during the first mode of operation in the plant itself ("third oxygen stream" of claim 3); the "external source outside the distillation column system" is then replaced by a
- Liquid oxygen tank formed in which during normal operation at least a portion of the third oxygen stream is introduced.
- Air separation plant or from tank trucks is filled.
- liquid products such as liquid nitrogen and / or liquid argon can be produced in the distillation column system in addition to the liquid oxygen.
- the streams in the second mode of operation are reduced relative to the first mode of operation (normal mode with liquid production) by a value that lies in the following numerical ranges: total amount of air 5 mol% to 30 mol%
- Turbine quantity (turbine stream) 10 mol% to 100 mol%
- a third oxygen stream from the low pressure column is withdrawn as a liquid product.
- less oxygen is obtained as a liquid product, preferably none at all.
- the second amount of liquid oxygen (on LOX product) is preferably from 50 mole% to 100 mole% lower than the first amount of liquid oxygen.
- the second mode of operation preferably none of the process streams of the
- Distillation column system subjected to cold compaction.
- no rotating machines are used in the second mode of operation, which are not used in the first mode of operation.
- the hardware outlay for variable operation is thus very low.
- cold compression is meant here a gas compression process in which the gas is supplied to the compression at a temperature which is significantly below the ambient temperature, in particular below 240 K.
- the inventive method can be carried out particularly efficiently. All the cold that is supplied via the liquid feed can be used to reduce the amount of turbine air. By correspondingly less air must be recompressed or by - in processes with compression of the total air to a high pressure - the total air is compressed to a much lower pressure.
- the work-performing expansion of the second partial flow is set completely, that is, the second turbine quantity is zero.
- the two booster can each have a separate aftercooler; Alternatively, their heat of compression is removed in a common aftercooler.
- the total air flow can only consist of the first partial flow (turbine flow) and the second partial flow (throttle flow).
- the total air flow may also include other air partial flows, including a first part (direct air), the turbine without relaxation and in a substantially gaseous state in the
- Distillation columns system in particular in the high-pressure column is fed.
- substantially gaseous here is meant a stream which is completely gaseous or contains less than 1-2 mol% of liquid.
- the total air flow is divided into exactly three air streams, as described in claim 7.
- the invention also relates to a device according to claim 8.
- the device according to the invention can be supplemented by device features which correspond to the features of the dependent method claims.
- the variable operation according to the invention can be applied not only to systems that are designed from the outset to such a variable operation.
- the invention also relates to a method for retrofitting an existing cryogenic air separation plant according to the claims 9 to 1 1.
- 1 shows a first embodiment without argon recovery and 2 shows a second embodiment with argon recovery.
- the main air compressor, the pre-cooling of the air and the air cleaning are not shown in Figure 1.
- the purified total air 1 occurs in the first mode
- a first part 2 is cooled under this pressure in a main heat exchanger 3 to about dew point and introduced via line 4 in the high pressure column 5 of a distillation column system, which also has a low pressure column 6 and a main capacitor 7.
- the two columns have at their top an operating pressure of 5.0 to 5.5 bar or 1, 3 to 1, 4 bar.
- the pressures in both columns may be raised approximately proportionally to a higher level.
- a second part 8 of the total air 1 is recompressed to 58 bar in a pair of parallel-connected booster compressors 9, 10 with aftercooler 1 1 and supplied to the main heat exchanger 3 as "first partial flow” 13 and "second partial flow” 16.
- the first partial flow is led to the cold end of the main heat exchanger and thereby pseudo-liquefied. After relaxation in a throttle valve 15, it is in
- the second partial flow is at an intermediate temperature via line 16 from the
- Main heat exchanger 3 removed, expanded in an expansion turbine 17 work to about high-pressure column pressure. After separation of a small proportion of liquid in a separator (phase separator) 18, the second partial stream is supplied together with the first part of the feed air via line 4 of the high-pressure column.
- the turbine 17 is braked by an electric generator G.
- the oxygen-enriched bottoms liquid 19 of the high-pressure column is cooled in a subcooling countercurrent 20 and fed via line 21 to the low-pressure column 6 at an intermediate point.
- Impure liquid nitrogen 24 is also supercooled (20) and then fed via line 25 as reflux to the top of the low-pressure column 6.
- a first part 27 of the gaseous nitrogen head 26 of the high-pressure column 5 is completely or almost completely liquefied in the main condenser 7.
- the case obtained liquid nitrogen 28 is fed to a first part 29 as reflux to the head of the high-pressure column 5.
- a second part 30, 32 can be obtained after supercooling 20 and flash gas separation in a separator (phase separator) 33 as a liquid product (LIN).
- a second part 39 of the gaseous top nitrogen 26 of the high-pressure column 5 is warmed in the main heat exchanger and recovered via line 40 as a gaseous pressure nitrogen product (PGAN).
- Main condenser 7 liquid oxygen 34 is withdrawn. A first part of this flows as "first oxygen stream" 35 to a pump 36 and is brought there in the liquid state to an elevated pressure of 30 bar.
- the oxygen stream 37 (subcritical in the example) is fed to the cold end of the main heat exchanger. In the main heat exchanger 3, it is evaporated and at about
- a second part 44/45 of the liquid oxygen 34 is - optionally after
- LOX to tank liquid oxygen tank
- a conduit 46 serves to feed a "second oxygen stream" from the liquid oxygen tank into the bottom of the low-pressure column; she is in the first one
- Gaseous impurity nitrogen 41 from the head of the low pressure column 6 is in
- nitrogen can be recovered as a liquid product (LIN) and pure gaseous nitrogen from the low pressure column (not shown).
- line 45 is closed, preferably also no liquid nitrogen (LIN) is produced.
- line 46 liquid oxygen is fed from outside the distillation column system into the low-pressure column.
- the amount of gaseous pressure oxygen 38 / GOX IC remains the same.
- the total amount of air 1 is reduced by about 32 mol% compared to the first mode of operation, the second part 8/12 even by 65 mol%;
- one of the two booster 9, 10 is out of service, the other is driven with reduced power.
- the turbine 17 stands still, the bypass 43 is open and is traversed by a small stream, which flushes the corresponding passages of the main heat exchanger.
- the total air pressure is only 5.3 bar, the air pressure downstream of the booster 9, 10 only 53 bar.
- the same amount of gaseous pressure oxygen product (GOX IC) is supplied under the same pressure as in the first mode of operation.
- Print product can be obtained under about 30 bar. It also produces about the same amount of liquid nitrogen as liquid oxygen. Here, two effects increase and thus allow a particularly high reduction of the
- Redensification (first and second partial flow): On the one hand, the total amount of air is reduced by supplying liquid oxygen from the outside (and thus no longer has to be generated from the supplied air volume); On the other hand, the non-produced LOX and LIN products further reduce the demand for air and refrigeration.
- the second numerical example for a pure gas system shown below however, only the changes in quantity are described alone
- the invention can be used mutatis mutandis in processes without recompression, in which the total air is compressed to significantly high-pressure column pressure (HAP - high air pressure).
- HAP high-pressure column pressure
- the turbine 7 can be braked instead of the generator by a compressor for turbine air.
- An application of the invention to methods with so-called injection turbine the air from the main air compressor is not led to relaxation in the pressure column but in the low pressure column) or with more than one turbine and those with nitrogen cycle is possible.
- Figure 2 differs from Figure 1 only by an added
- Argon recovery which is shown here only schematically (argon box). This is connected in the usual way with high pressure column and low pressure column.
- the system of Figure 2 can be operated as in Figure 1.
- an amount of liquid argon LAR is obtained, which is reduced in proportion to the total amount of air.
- a second numerical example deviates therefrom in that no liquid oxygen product is (also) obtained in the first mode of operation (and preferably also no
- Liquid nitrogen product LIN Liquid nitrogen product LIN. Also in this case the amount of product is on
- gaseous pressure oxygen 38 / GOX IC in the second mode of operation equal to that in the first mode.
- the total amount of air is reduced compared to the first mode by 10 mol%, the second part 8/12 by 25 mol%.
- This can also be accomplished with a single post-compressor (instead of the two parallel ones shown in the drawings).
- the turbine stream 16 can also be withdrawn at an intermediate take-off of the two booster 9, 10, ie with a lower pressure than the pressure than the throttle flow 13, which is then removed from the outlet of the booster 9, 10.
- the turbine 17 can also be braked with a post-compressor stage, which further compresses one of the streams 13 and 16 or both.
