Example Embodiment

[0035] Example 1

[0036] (1) The compressed and purified air GA is introduced into the heat exchanger E1 through pipeline 101 for low-temperature cooling;

[0037] (2) The cooled air is sent to the lower column C1 through the 102 pipeline, and the lower column performs heat and mass transfer with the top-down liquid on the trays or fillers from bottom to top, and nitrogen is obtained at the top of the lower column;

[0038] (3) The nitrogen generated from the top of the lower tower is divided into two beams, one of which is sent to the heat exchanger E1 through the pipeline 141 to reheat to room temperature, and is led out as the pressure nitrogen product PN through the 142 pipeline. The nitrogen product can be directly supplied as required. It is sent to the user's nitrogen pipe network or pressurized to the required pressure by the booster NZ and then sent to the user's nitrogen pipe network; the second beam of nitrogen enters the condensation evaporator K1 and is condensed into l...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for significantly reducing the comprehensive energy consumption of air separation, which comprises the following steps: feeding large amount of nitrogen pumped from the top of a lower tower into a heat exchanger for reheating and serving as pressure nitrogen products, allowing the rest nitrogen to enter a condenser-evaporator and condensing the rest nitrogen into liquid nitrogen; introducing part of the condensed liquid nitrogen serving as liquid nitrogen products, or pumping large amount of liquid nitrogen for internal compressing and reheating and then using the compressed and reheated liquid nitrogen as medium-pressure products. Because all nitrogen products are from the pressure nitrogen or internally-compressed liquid nitrogen pumped from the top of the lower tower, and the pumped amount is large, but not from the compressed low pressure nitrogen pumped from an upper tower, the pressure nitrogen is fully pumped, the rectification potentials of the upper and lower towers are fully utilized so as to reduce the energy consumption of air separation. Moreover, the backflow liquid of the top of the upper tower is pumped from the liquid nitrogen fraction on the upper part of the lower tower, which can further improve the rectification capacity of the upper tower, and reduce the energy consumption of air separation devices and the content of argon in nitrogen products. The process flow is characterized by optimum process organization, low investment cost of equipment and significant energy consumption reduction.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an air separation system, in particular to a method for reducing comprehensive energy consumption of air separation. Background technique [0002] The raw material of air separation comes from air, which is inexhaustible and inexhaustible. The economy of air separation is mainly reflected in energy saving. Traditional ideology constrains the consideration of reducing the comprehensive energy consumption of air separation, such as one-sided emphasis on purity and extraction rate, rather than overall consideration of energy consumption. With the enlargement of air separation plants and the development of internal compression air separation, how to save energy is of great importance. In addition, some chemical plants have lower requirements on the content of argon in nitrogen, and the existing technology is generally difficult to meet the requirements, or even if the requirements are met, the amount of processing air increases. ...
