METHOD FOR SEPARATING AIR BY CRYOGENIC DISTILLATION

A method for separating air by cryogenic distillation, wherein air is compressed in a first compressor, cooled in a heat exchanger and then separated in a system of columns, liquid oxygen is vaporized in the heat exchanger countercurrent to a flow of pressurized gas which pseudo-condenses, a flow of...

Zusammenfassung:A method for separating air by cryogenic distillation, wherein air is compressed in a first compressor, cooled in a heat exchanger and then separated in a system of columns, liquid oxygen is vaporized in the heat exchanger countercurrent to a flow of pressurized gas which pseudo-condenses, a flow of gas which is air or a gas delivered from the system of columns is expanded in a cryogenic expansion turbine having a single wheel, the turbine having an inlet temperature lower than −100° C., a gas which is air or a gas delivered from the system of columns is compressed in a first booster compressor having a single wheel, with an inlet temperature higher than −50° C., a gas which is air or a gas delivered from the system of columns.
