Abstract

Un procedimiento criogénico para producir oxígeno impuro y/o nitrogeno sustancialmente puro utiliza una disposicion de columna doble clásica y una operacion de tres columnas adicionales, a una presion media, es decir, entre la presion de la etapa de presion más alta y la etapa de presion más baja del sistema e doble columna. Una porcion del aire de alimentacion se separa en las etapas del sistema de columna doble y otra porcion del aire de alimentacion es destilada en la etapa de presion media. El oxígeno líquido sin purificar de la etapa de presion más alta y/o la etapa de presion media es reducido en presion y hierve en un hervidor/condensador en la parte superior de la columna de presion media. El oxígeno líquido sin purificar vaporizado del hervidor/condensador superior de la columna de presion media es subsecuentemente introducido como una alimentacion de vapor a la etapa de presion más baja, la cual reduce las irreversibilidades de separacion en la etapa de presion más baja.
