FLUID RECOVERY PROCESS AND APPARATUS FOR XENON AND/OR KRYPTON RECOVERY

A process for recovering at least one fluid (e.g. xenon gas and/or krypton gas, etc.) from a feed gas (100) can include utilization of a compression system (11), primary heat exchanger unit (15), a pre-purification unit (PPU) (13), and other units to separate and recover at least one desired fluid....

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A process for recovering at least one fluid (e.g. xenon gas and/or krypton gas, etc.) from a feed gas (100) can include utilization of a compression system (11), primary heat exchanger unit (15), a pre-purification unit (PPU) (13), and other units to separate and recover at least one desired fluid. In some embodiments, fluid flows output from a first heat exchanger (15) or separation system (17) of the plant (10) can be split so that a portion (110) of a stream (105) is output for downstream processing (21) to purify xenon (Xe) and/or krypton (Kr) product flow(s) while another portion (108) of the stream (105) is recycled to a compression system (11) or the PPU (13) to undergo further purification and heat exchange so that the product output for downstream processing has a higher concentration of Xe or Kr. Some embodiments can be configured to provide an improved recovery of Xe and/or Kr as well as an improvement in operational efficiency.
