Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for the low-temperature decomposition of air, in which in at least one switchable pair of regenerators a partial stream or the entire air stream to be split is cooled by heat exchange with a part of the decomposition products, contaminants condensing out, after which the cleaned air stream is fed to the low-temperature drop.
- the invention further relates to a device for performing the method according to the invention.
- cryogenic air separation - hereinafter referred to as low-temperature separation - the air is first cooled to approximately cooling water temperature and then to approx. 15 ° C, then adsorptively dried and freed of carbon dioxide - preferably using a moister sieve - and then in plate heat exchangers cooled to liquefaction temperature against escaping products and residual gas (s).
- the plate heat exchangers used for this can only be manufactured up to a certain size; If the air volume is large enough, several heat exchangers must be connected in parallel.
- regenerators came for the heat exchange between air and waste products for use. These were preferably arranged in pairs.
- the air cools down on the heat storage mass of the regenerator, the disruptive components to be removed, such as water and carbon dioxide, being eliminated liquid or solid.
- the storage mass of the regenerator slowly warms up.
- the decomposition products from the cryogenic air separation are warmed up and carry the previously separated air contaminants out of the regenerator.
- the decomposition products release their cold to the storage mass of the regenerator.
- the regenerators are switched over at periodic intervals, so that the air flows in through the regenerator previously cooled with decomposition products and the decomposition products through the one previously operated with decomposition air
- regenerators with tube spirals for pure oxygen consisted of quartzite stones, for oxygen of lower purity from so-called aluminum trays; these are spirally wound, corrugated aluminum strips.
- Regenerators with quartzite filling and pipe spirals have a not insignificant empty volume, which is why the compressed air stored in them is partially lost with every switching operation, which leads to a deterioration in the yield.
- DE 27 34 934 A1 discloses a method and a device for the low-temperature separation of air, wherein in at least one switchable pair of regenerators, part of the air to be separated is cooled by heat exchange with a part of the separation products, while the rest of the air to be decomposed is purified by adsorption and cooled in a heat exchanger by heat exchange with another part of the decomposition products. Then both air flows are fed to the cryogenic decomposition. It can thus be implemented a procedure in which only that portion of the air to be broken down is adsorptively freed of water and carbon dioxide, which is used for heating the z. B. 100,000 Nm 3 / h of product oxygen is required.
- a disadvantage of the method and the device according to DE 27 34 934 A1 is that a large heat storage capacity must be available for the condensation of water. On the one hand, this requirement causes higher investment costs and, on the other hand, leads to higher air switching losses being accepted, in particular because of the larger regenerator volume have to. This has a not inconsiderable impact on the energy consumption of the cutting plant.
- the object of the present invention is to provide a method and a device for the low-temperature separation of air which, compared to the known methods and devices for low-temperature separation of air, enable a reduction in costs and energy.
- water is separated off from the air flow passed through the pair of regenerators before the further contaminants, such as e.g. B. carbon dioxide, by means of adsorption.
- the device according to the invention is therefore characterized in that the regenerators have an adsorption bed arranged in their inlet region.
- the heat exchange of the air flow conducted through the regenerators takes place exclusively against an impure nitrogen flow from the low-temperature separation. Because of this procedure, the regenerators used can be comparatively simple; at least the provision of tube bundles in the storage mass of the regenerators can be dispensed with.
- the method according to the invention for the low-temperature decomposition of air is proposed that a partial flow of the air to be separated, which is not fed to the regenerators, is freed of impurities by means of adsorption and then cooled in indirect heat exchange with a decomposition product to be heated.
- At least 50 to 85% of the amount of air supplied to the cryogenic decomposition is passed through the regenerators. Since - as already mentioned at the beginning - for the production of 100,000 Nm 3 / h of product oxygen, almost 500,000 NnrvVh of air have to be fed to the low-temperature decomposition, and 400,000 Nm 3 / h of residual gas - i.e. impure nitrogen - are generated, this has
- a further advantageous embodiment of the method according to the invention for the low-temperature separation of air is characterized in that the adsorptive separation of water from the air flow led through the regenerators is integrated into the regenerators.
- the regenerators can be preceded by a separate adsorber in which the adsorptive separation of water takes place.
- the adsorbent layer required for the adsorptive separation of the water is advantageously integrated into the regenerator itself, preferably in its inlet area.
- the method according to the invention for the low-temperature decomposition of air is proposed that the regeneration of the adsorption agent loaded with water takes place by rinsing the adsorption agent.
- an impure nitrogen stream from the low-temperature decomposition is preferably used as the purge gas.
- a so-called heatless regeneration of the adsorbent layer can be achieved with the purge gas quantity passed through the regenerator for the purpose of regeneration.
- the amount of purge gas - ie the amount of impure nitrogen - is approximately equal to the amount of air to be cooled in the regenerators, it is sufficient if a relatively short adsorbent layer, e.g. B. an aluminum layer is provided, by means of which the air is cooled, for example, to a dew point of 5 ° C. This ensures that no drop-shaped water forms on the trays or beds of the regenerators. If the aforementioned heatless regeneration is also implemented, this leads to the regenerators being even more compact, since no heating surfaces and heat capacities for water condensation and re-evaporation have to be provided.
- a relatively short adsorbent layer e.g. B. an aluminum layer
- the device according to the invention for performing the method according to the invention is characterized in that the regenerators have an adsorption bed arranged in the inlet region.
- this consists of a water-adsorbing adsorbent. Depending on the choice of the adsorbent used, it can - apart from water - remove other components from the air flow to be separated.
- regenerators contain steel trays and / or a steel bed as a heat-storing material. These steel trays or steel fillings - those instead of aluminum trays or quartzite stones
- the steel or aluminum trays have a width of 30 to 500 mm.
