Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for obtaining a gaseous pressure product by the cryogenic separation of air.
  • Preferred embodiments of the invention relate to such a process and system wherein, in a normal operation: charge air is condensed, cooled and fed to a distillation column system, a product fraction is withdrawn in a liquid state from the distillation column system and is introduced into a liquid tank, product liquid is removed from the liquid tank via a pump set having one or more parallel-connected individual pumps, is brought in the liquid condition to an increased pressure, is evaporated in an indirect heat exchange with a first heat transfer medium flow, and is withdrawn as a gaseous pressure product, and wherein, in an emergency operation: product liquid is removed from the liquid tank, is brought in the liquid condition to an increased pressure, is evaporated in an indirect heat exchange with a second heat transfer medium flow and is withdrawn as a gaseous pressure product,
  • the distillation column system of the invention may be constructed as a single-column system for the nitrogen-oxygen separation, as a two-column system (for example, as a classical Linde double-column system) or as a three-column or multicolumn system.
  • it may have further devices for obtaining other air constituents, particularly noble gases, such as argon.
  • the process of the invention can be classified as one of the internal-condensation processes. This means that, in the normal operation, at least one of the products of the distillation column system (for example, nitrogen from the single column of a single-column system, from the high-pressure column of a two- or three-column system and/or from the MDS or intermediate pressure column of a three-column system—or as an alternative on in addition.
  • the products of the distillation column system for example, nitrogen from the single column of a single-column system, from the high-pressure column of a two- or three-column system and/or from the MDS or intermediate pressure column of a three-column system—or as an alternative on in addition.
  • oxygen from the single column of a single-column system or from the MDS or intermediate pressure column of a three-column system and/or from the low-pressure column of a two-column or three-column system) is taken in liquid form from one of the columns of the three-column system or from a condenser connected with one of these columns; is brought to an increased pressure in the liquid condition; is evaporated or pseudo-evaporated (at a supercritical pressure) in an indirect heat exchange with a first heat transfer medium flow; and finally obtained as a gaseous pressure product.
  • the first heat transfer medium is frequently formed by charge air and/or nitrogen.
  • the indirect heat exchange can take place in a separate heat exchanger or in the main heat exchanger in which the cooling of the charge air also takes place.
  • European Patent Document 1074805 A1 U.S. Pat. No. 6,332,337)
  • German Patent Document DE 10213212 A1 German Patent Document 10213211 A1, European Patent Document 1357342 A1 or German Patent Document DE 10238282 A1.
  • the pressure increase in the liquid can be achieved by any known measure, for example, by means of a pump, the utilization of a hydrostatic potential, and/or the pressure build-up evaporation in a tank.
  • the term “evaporating” includes a pseudo-evaporation under a supercritical pressure.
  • the pressure to which the product liquid is pressurized can therefore also be above the critical pressure; as may the pressure of the heat transfer medium which is (pseudo)condensed against the nitrogen.
  • a third operating condition the bypass operation
  • the product fraction withdrawn in a liquid state from the distillation column system is guided past the liquid tank, is pressurized in the pump set in the liquid condition to an increased pressure, is evaporated in the indirect heat exchange with a first heat transfer medium flow and is withdrawn as a gaseous pressure product.
  • the bypass operation basically separate devices can be provided.
  • the internal condensation can also be continued during times in which the tank is not available.
  • the system can continue to supply gaseous pressure product.
  • the bypass operation can also be utilized at temporary fluctuations of the purity of the liquid product fraction from the distillation column system in order to prevent a contamination of the product stored in the liquid tank; in this case also, it may be favorable to bypass the tank in the manner according to the invention.
  • the devices for the pressure increase in the liquid condition mostly consist of pumps. In principle, it is conceivable to use a single pump. However, for reasons of redundancy, a pump set is frequently used, that is, a plurality of pumps connected in parallel. In this case, a pump set may have approximately two or three pumps with a 50% capacity respectively; in the case of three (or more) pumps, one is only held in a standby position in order to take over the task of one of the other pumps in the event of a disturbance of their operation.
  • the pump quantity delivery is generally regulated by one pump bypass respectively per individual pump, by means of which the excess quantity of pumped liquid is expanded and is returned into the liquid tank.
  • the pressure increase in the liquid condition in the normal operation is carried out in a pump set which has one or more parallel-connected individual pumps, at least one individual pump having a first pump bypass by way of which at least at times a portion of the product liquid exiting from the pump is expanded and returned into the liquid tank, and that the same pump set is utilized also in the bypass operation for the pressure increase in the liquid condition
  • it is therefore advantageous, for at least one individual pump to have, in addition to the first pump bypass, a second pump bypass by way of which in the bypass operation, at least at times, a portion of the product liquid exiting from the pump is expanded, is guided past the liquid tank and is returned to the inlet of the pump set.
  • Preferably several or all pumps of the pump set each have a first and a second pump bypass in the above-mentioned sense.
  • the invention can also be applied to multibranch distillation column systems which have a common liquid tank, as described in German Patent Application 102004006283, which is no prior publication, and the applications corresponding thereto.
  • the product fraction is introduced from two or more branches of the distillation column system into the liquid tank.
  • the liquid tank as well as the devices for the pressure increase are jointly utilized by the two or two or more branches of the distillation column system.
  • the single drawing figure schematically depicts a system constructed according to preferred embodiments of the present invention.
  • a “product fraction” 2 is withdrawn in a liquid state.
  • the distillation column system is constructed as a 2-column system with a high-pressure column and a low-pressure column, and the product fraction 2 is formed by liquid oxygen from the sump of the low-pressure column.
  • a schematically depicted control unit CU is operable to control the valves of the system to carry out the processes described herein.
  • the liquid oxygen 2 is fed through an opened valve 51 by way of a pipe 3 into a liquid tank 4 .
  • liquid oxygen 5 is withdrawn from the liquid tank (valve 52 is also opened) and is fed to a pump set 6 which consists of a single pump or of several parallel-connected individual pumps.
  • the liquid is brought to approximately the desired product pressure and is guided by way the pipe 7 (valve 53 open) to a first evaporator 8 , and is evaporated there against a “first heat transfer medium flow”.
  • the latter is preferably formed by a correspondingly highly condensed flow of charge air for the air separation system 1 , or by a high-pressure nitrogen from the air separation system 1 .
  • the evaporator 8 is formed by the main heat exchanger of the air separation system 1 , in which is charge air is cooled to the fractionating temperature.
  • it can also be constructed as a heat exchanger, such as a secondary condenser, separated from the main heat exchanger.
  • oxygen exits as a gaseous pressure product and can be fed to a consuming device or a distributing system.
  • a pump bypass 10 is used for regulating the pumped quantity.
  • a throttle valve 54 as a rule, a portion of the pumped quantity is returned into the liquid tank 4 . Only one pump bypass 10 is illustrated in the drawing. If the pump set 6 consists of more than a single pump, each individual pump has a separate pipe with a separate throttle valve and shut-off valve.
  • the air separation system 1 fails as a result of a planned or unplanned operational interruption, the system is switched to an emergency operation.
  • valves 51 and 53 are closed and valve 61 is opened.
  • liquid oxygen stored in the liquid tank 4 flows by way of a pipe 60 to a second evaporator 62 which evaporates by means of a “second heat transfer medium flow” which differs from the first heat transfer medium flow.
  • the second evaporator 62 is constructed, for example, as an atmospheric evaporator or as a water bath evaporator.
  • oxygen leaves the system as a gaseous pressure product by way of the pipe 63 and is guided to a consuming device or a distributing system.
