Abstract

LA PRESENTE INVENCION ES UNA MEJORA EN EL METODO PARA PRODUCIR ARGON CRUDO DIRECTAMENTE DEL RECIPIENTE DE FRIO EN UNIDAD CRIOGENICA DE SEPARACION DE AIRE. LA MEJORA CONSISTE EN LA PRODUCCION DE ARGON CRUDO CONTENIENDO CONCENTRACIONES MUY PEQUEÑAS DE OXIGENO, POR EJ. INFERIORES AL 0.5%, SIN NINGUNA PERDIDA EN LA RECUPERACION. LA MEJORA SE LLEVA A CABO USANDO UN NUMERO EFECTIVO DE ETAPAS TEORICAS EN LA COLUMNA DEL BRAZO LATERAL (135) DE TAL FORMA QUE SE OCASIONE LA PUREZA DEL PRODUCTO DE ARGON DESEADA SIN SACRIFICAR LA RECUPERACION DEL ARGON. EL OXIGENO LIQUIDO CRUDO (129) SE SUMINISTRA DESDE LA PARTE SUPERIOR DE LA COLUMNA DE ALTA PRESION (107) HASTA EL CONDENSADOR DE EBULLICION (133) SITUADO EN LA PARTE SUPERIOR DE LA COLUMNA DEL BRAZO LATERAL (135) EN UNA CANTIDAD QUE ALCANZA ENTRE 1.04 Y 1.36 VECES EL FLUJO MINIMO TEORICO DEL OXIGENO LIQUIDO CRUDO NECESARIO PARA VAPORIZAR COMPLETAMENTE ESE FLUJO MINIMO DE OXIGENO LIQUIDO CRUDO HASTA SU PUNTO DE CONDENSACION; LLEVANDO A CABO, POSTERIORMENTE EL CONTACTO INTIMO ENTRE EL VAPOR Y LAS FASES LIQUIDAS EN LA COLUMNA DEL BRAZO LATERAL (135) MEDIANTE UNA COMBINACION DE BANDEJAS TAMIZADORAS CONVENCIONALES Y EMPAQUETAMIENTOS ESTRUCTURADOS DE BAJA CAIDA DE PRESION DE TAL FORMA QUE LA CAIDA DE PRESION A LO LARGO DE ESTA COMBINACION RESULTE EN UNA PRESION EN LA PARTE SUPERIOR DE LA COLUMNA DEL BRAZO LATERAL TAL QUE EL FLUJO DE OXIGENO LIQUIDO CRUDO QUE SE DIRIGE AL CONDENSADOR (133) SITUADO EN LA PARTE SUPERIOR DE LA COLUMNA DEL BRAZO LATERAL PUEDA MANTENERSE EN LA CANTIDAD APROPIADA. ADEMAS, ESTA MEJORA SE LLEVA A CABO SIN NINGUNA PENALIZACION ENERGETICA EN LA UNIDAD CRIOGENICA DE SEPARACION DE AIRE.
