Description
1 28605761 2860576
La présente invention est relative à un appareil et à un procédé de séparation d'un mélange gazeux par distillation cryogénique. The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for separating a gas mixture by cryogenic distillation.
Depuis très longtemps, comme décrit dans Tieftemperaturtechnik de Hausen Linde, pp.457-461, les unités de séparation des gaz de l'air utilisent des turbines à paliers lubrifiés, ces paliers étant axiaux ou radiaux. Pour produire du froid, les turbines détendent de l'air ou de l'azote avec production de travail extérieur, la détente étant de type isentropique aux irréversibilités près. For a very long time, as described in Hausen Linde's Tieftemperaturtechnik, pp.457-461, the air gas separation units use lubricated bearing turbines, these bearings being axial or radial. In order to produce cold, the turbines release air or nitrogen with the production of external work, the expansion being of the isentropic type with irreversibilities.
Néanmoins, les turbines à paliers lubrifiés, par exemple avec de l'huile, io ont deux inconvénients majeurs: Premièrement, il y a un risque de pollution du gaz procédé par de l'huile en cas de défaillance du système d'étanchéité le long de l'arbre. Une telle pollution engendre la migration d'huile dans les différents équipements de l'appareil (échangeurs, tuyauteries, colonnes à distiller, vaporiseur), l'huile pouvant avoir tendance à se concentrer au niveau du vaporiseur principal en présence d'oxygène relativement pur. Cela pourrait être la cause d'une explosion majeure dans un appareil de séparation des gaz de l'air. Nevertheless, lubricated bearing turbines, for example with oil, have two major disadvantages: First, there is a risk of oil pollution of the process gas in the event of failure of the sealing system along the of the tree. Such pollution causes the migration of oil in the various equipment of the apparatus (exchangers, pipes, distillation columns, vaporizer), the oil may tend to concentrate at the main vaporizer in the presence of relatively pure oxygen . This could be the cause of a major explosion in an air separation unit.
Deuxièmement, il est pour ainsi dire obligatoire pour des raisons économiques d'installer la turbine près du sol pour minimiser les distances vis- à-vis de la bâche à huile; cette contrainte n'est pas spécifique aux usines de séparation des gaz de l'air mais peut aussi s'appliquer à des liquéfacteurs de gaz (H2, He, CH4, ...) ou à d'autres unités de séparation des gaz (H2/CO, ...). Second, it is virtually mandatory for economic reasons to install the turbine near the ground to minimize distances to the oil tank; this constraint is not specific to air gas separation plants but can also be applied to gas liquefiers (H2, He, CH4, ...) or to other gas separation units ( H2 / CO, ...).
L'objet de l'invention est de s'affranchir des paliers lubrifiés pour les turbines de détente des unités de séparation de mélange gazeux par distillation cryogénique en proposant différentes solutions alternatives: - détente du mélange gazeux à séparer dans une turbine à paliers gaz (statiques ou dynamiques) ; - détente du mélange gazeux à séparer dans une turbine sur roulements (à billes ou rouleaux en acier ou en céramiques), ces roulements pouvant avoir à être graissés périodiquement mais n'étant pas huilés; - détente du mélange gazeux à séparer dans une turbine à paliers magnétiques. The object of the invention is to overcome the lubricated bearings for the expansion turbines of the gas mixture separation units by cryogenic distillation by proposing different alternative solutions: - expansion of the gaseous mixture to be separated in a gas turbine ( static or dynamic); - Expansion of the gaseous mixture to be separated in a turbine on bearings (ball or roll steel or ceramic), these bearings may have to be greased periodically but not oiled; - Expansion of the gaseous mixture to be separated in a turbine with magnetic bearings.
