Abstract

1362825 Fractional distillation TREADWELL CORP 25 Aug 1971 [21 Sept 1970] 39959/71 Heading B1B [Also in Division F4] A process for the separation of liquids of different volatilities, e.g. propane and propylene with multiple rectification and stripping stages has feed entering between the stages and indirect heat exchange between at least some of the rectification zones and some of the stripping zones. The pressure in the rectification is controlled at above that in the stripping so that a substantial flow of heat can be effected between the two stages. Figs. 5 and 5A show the rectification and stripping zones in a 16-stage fractionation system. Ambient air is compressed to 3.26 atoms and is then passed through cooler and a coil in heat-exchange H/E-O and introduced into stage 8. Vapour is withdrawn from each stage and passed through a compressor C and a heat exchange H/E into the next higher stage. Nitrogen vapours from the uppermost stage flow through compressor C1 and heat exchanger H/E-1 and are then passed through a coil in the oxygen vaporiser below the lowermost stage. Some of the nitrogen condensate is returned to stage 1 as reflux and the remainder is expanded in compressor C-O and passed down through heat-exchangers H/E and turbines E which drive the compressors C. The transfer of heat by an auxiliary liquid is described.
