Description
本發明係關於一種製造高純度氧及氮之裝置。The present invention relates to a device for producing high-purity oxygen and nitrogen.
面向半導體產業等,需要不包含烴等高沸點成分之高純度氧。為了製造該高純度氧,例如專利文獻1所揭示,存在如下方法:從具有至少一個精餾塔之氮發生裝置之氮精餾塔之中間,導出高沸點成分經去除之高純度氧進料液,導入至高純度氧精餾塔中而從塔底部回收。該方法中,利用經過氮精餾塔之原料空氣來作為高純度精餾塔底部之再沸源之熱源。
又,專利文獻2揭示有:將原料空氣不經過氮精餾塔而用於再沸源之熱源的方法、或將高純度氧進料液用於該熱源之方法。
又,專利文獻3揭示有將從氮精餾塔底部導出之富氧液作為該熱源而利用。
[先前技術文獻]
[專利文獻]For the semiconductor industry, high purity oxygen that does not contain high boiling point components such as hydrocarbons is required. In order to produce this high-purity oxygen, for example, as disclosed in
[專利文獻1]日本專利第3719832號公報 [專利文獻2]國際專利公開第2014/173496公報 [專利文獻3]國際專利公開第2018/219685公報[Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent No. 3719832 [Patent Document 2] International Patent Publication No. 2014/173496 [Patent Document 3] International Patent Publication No. 2018/219685 Bulletin
[發明所欲解決之問題][The problem to be solved by the invention]
然而,於將原料空氣用於用以將高純度氧進行精餾之熱源之情形時,相對地,供給至氮精餾塔之原料空氣減少,擔憂氮之製造量減少。 又,於使用高純度氧進料液或富氧液來作為上述熱源之情形時,由於不使用原料空氣,故而不損及氮回收,但僅能夠利用與該等液之各個和高純度氧精餾塔底部之溫度差相當之顯熱,故而擔憂對於獲得大量之高純度氧,熱不足的情況。 鑒於上述實際情況,本發明之目的為提供一種不損及相對於所供給之原料空氣量之氮回收率,可製造大量之高純度氧之高純度氧及氮製造系統。 [解決問題之技術手段]However, when the raw material air is used as a heat source for rectifying high-purity oxygen, the raw material air supplied to the nitrogen rectification tower is relatively reduced, and there is a concern that the production amount of nitrogen may decrease. In addition, when high-purity oxygen feed liquid or oxygen-enriched liquid is used as the above-mentioned heat source, since the raw material air is not used, nitrogen recovery is not compromised, but only the individual and high-purity oxygen liquids can be used. The temperature difference at the bottom of the distillation column is quite sensible, so there is a concern about insufficient heat for obtaining large amounts of high-purity oxygen. In view of the above-mentioned actual situation, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a high-purity oxygen and nitrogen production system that can produce a large amount of high-purity oxygen without compromising the nitrogen recovery rate relative to the amount of supplied raw air.

再循環空氣(550 Nm3
/h)係從第二氮冷凝器13中導出,於空氣壓縮機10中壓縮至11 barA後,於主熱交換器1中冷卻至-163℃,導入至氮精餾塔2之塔底部21。
從第二氮冷凝器13中,以394 Nm3
/h導出富氧液,導入至第一氮冷凝器3中。

高純度氧進料液(170 Nm3
/h)係從氮精餾塔2之氮精餾部22之中間部221中導出。該中間部221之位置相當於從氮精餾塔2之下部起數5段至30段中之任一段。所導出之高純度氧進料液於第一過冷卻器8中由再循環氣體進行冷卻後,導入至高純度氧精餾塔4之氧精餾部43之中間。此外,高純度氧進料液亦可由減壓閥300進行減壓後導入至氧精餾部43中。
高純度氧精餾塔4係以3.2 barA而運轉,理論板數為60。從高純度氧精餾塔4之塔底部41中導出高純度液態氧(37 Nm3
/h),由氧泵7升壓至9.8 barA後,於主熱交換器1中蒸發,作為高純度氧氣而從溫端供給至消耗地。

於將先前技術之富氧液作為高純度氧蒸發器之熱源(再沸源)而利用之情形時,相對於氮製造量,約3莫耳%(例如相對於579 Nm3 /h之氮,回收17.4 Nm3 /h之高純度氧)為極限,但藉由本實施形態,可回收2倍以上之37 Nm3 /h之高純度氧。 又,藉由將再循環氣體而非原料空氣來作為再沸源,由於再循環氣體係與以大氣為原料之原料空氣不同,且有3 barA左右之壓力,故而與壓縮有關之動力亦小,又,由於不需要對以低溫運轉之氮精餾塔(氮發生裝置)有害之水分或二氧化碳之去除裝置,故而於消耗電力或設備投資方面亦優異。When the oxygen-enriched liquid of the prior art is used as the heat source (reboiling source) of the high-purity oxygen evaporator, relative to the amount of nitrogen produced, about 3 mol% (for example, relative to 579 Nm 3 /h nitrogen, The recovery of 17.4 Nm 3 /h of high-purity oxygen is the limit, but with this embodiment, high-purity oxygen of 37 Nm 3 /h can be recovered twice or more. In addition, by using recycled gas instead of raw material air as the reboiling source, since the recycled gas system is different from the raw material air using the atmosphere as raw material, and has a pressure of about 3 barA, the power related to compression is also small. In addition, since it does not require a device for removing moisture or carbon dioxide that is harmful to a nitrogen rectification tower (nitrogen generator) operating at low temperatures, it is also excellent in terms of power consumption and equipment investment.
(優越性評價)
與比較例1、2進行對比,對相當於實施形態1~5之實施例1~5之優越性進行說明。

Compared with Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the advantages of Examples 1 to 5 corresponding to
將實施例1與比較例1進行對比。實施例1中,再循環氣體於高純度氧蒸發器5中液化,該液化氣體之一部分作為回流液而供給至高純度氧精餾塔4之塔頂部44中。該回流液有助於高純度氧精餾塔4之回收率提高,與比較例1相比,可使高純度氧之回收增加至約15%。Compare Example 1 with Comparative Example 1. In Example 1, the recycled gas is liquefied in the high-
實施例2與實施例1相比,追加氧泵7及高壓空氣之利用。該等可於不使用安全性低且高成本之氧壓縮機之情況下,製造更高壓之氧(例如8.5 barG)。
由氧泵7所升壓之高純度液態氧主要於主熱交換器1中與高壓空氣進行熱交換,蒸發、加溫而從主熱交換器1之溫端,作為高純度氧氣而回收(輸送)。高壓空氣於主熱交換器1中液化,經減壓後供給至氮精餾塔2中。高壓空氣中之高沸點成分係於作為冷媒而供給至第一氮冷凝器3中之富氧液中濃縮,因此,對高純度氧之成分品質無影響。如此一來,藉由實施例2,可安全且低成本地製造高壓高純度氧氣。Compared with Example 1, Example 2 adds the use of
實施例3與實施例1或2相比,配置有第一過冷卻器8,其用以將供給至高純度氧精餾塔4中之高純度氧進料液以再循環氣體進行冷卻後,供給至高純度氧精餾塔4中。利用第一過冷卻器8,將高純度氧進料液冷卻,藉此於供給至高純度氧精餾塔4中之前之減壓時(可以減壓閥300進行調壓)氣化之液量減少,因此可使高純度氧之回收率提高。例如,於從9.7 barG之氮精餾塔2中,向2.2 barG之高純度氧精餾塔4中導入高純度氧進料之情形時,藉由應用第一過冷卻器8,可將進料液減壓時之氣化量降低至約65%,因此可改善高純度氧之回收。Compared with
實施例4與比較例2相比,以再循環氣體將高純度氧進行精餾,因此可回收更多之高純度氧。於將原料空氣量假定為一定之情形時,比較例2中,高純度氧之回收量之上限以物質量比(或者莫耳比)計為製品氮氣之約3%,但實施例4中,可使高純度氧之回收量之上限成為約12%。Compared with Comparative Example 2, Example 4 uses recycled gas to rectify high-purity oxygen, so more high-purity oxygen can be recovered. When the amount of raw air is assumed to be constant, in Comparative Example 2, the upper limit of the recovery amount of high-purity oxygen is about 3% of the product nitrogen in terms of the mass ratio (or molar ratio), but in Example 4, The upper limit of the recovery amount of high-purity oxygen can be made about 12%.
實施例5與實施例4相比,可回收更多之製品氮。Compared with Example 4, Example 5 can recover more product nitrogen.
(其他實施形態)
雖未特別明示,但亦可於各管線中設置壓力調整裝置、流量控制裝置等,來進行壓力調整或者流量調整。
於實施形態2~5中,雖為使壓縮再循環氣體經由壓縮再循環氣體管線L71以及連接管線L72而導入至高純度氧蒸發器5之溫端的構成,但並不限定於此,亦可為如圖1A所示,使壓縮再循環氣體經由壓縮再循環氣體管線L7而直接導入至高純度氧蒸發器5之溫端的構成。(Other implementation forms)
Although not specifically shown, pressure adjustment devices, flow control devices, etc. may be installed in each pipeline to perform pressure adjustment or flow adjustment.
