Embodiment Construction
[0045] figure 1 An apparatus is shown for the separation of a stream 1 having carbon dioxide as one of the main components, which stream contains at least 50 mol%, or even at least 70 mol% carbon dioxide, and light impurities such as nitrogen and oxygen. This stream is compressed in compressor 2 and the compressed stream is cooled in heat exchanger 3 . After separation in separator tank 4 , the resulting liquid is expanded in valve 5 and then sent to the top of column 6 . In this column 6 liquid is separated to form overhead gas and bottom liquid 7 (liquid CO 2 ). The bottom liquid 7 is divided into 3 streams by a flow divider 8 . These 3 streams are expanded in valves 9, 10 and 11 at three different pressures. These 3 liquid streams evaporate in exchanger 3 . Two of these three streams are compressed in intermediate compressors 12 and 13 and these three streams, again at the same pressure, are brought together in mixer 14 . The mixed stream is introduced into a surge ta...
