Coldbox-column Application: Agriculture

PI7 Coldbox ColumnProcess used in Oxygen Nitrogen plants -Medium PressureConstruction Materials for Air separation plants:The
materials used in an air separation plant are exposed to wide range of
temperatures, pressures, and purities during operation. Materials are
selected that are compatible with the expected condition including
normal operation, startup, shutdown, and process upsets.
For the oxygen system to operate safely, all parts of the
system should be reviewed for compatibility with oxygen under all
conditions they will encounter. The system is designed to prevent oxygen
combustion by:Selecting the optimum cryogenic grade material.Operating within the designed pressure, temperature, and flow limits; andObtaining proper cleanliness.BOSCHI 5 step process
PROCESS DESCRIPTION:
STEP 1 - Air Compression In the first
stage air is compressed at a low pressure of 5-7 bar (Gas plants) to 10
Bar (liquid plants). Air can be compressed at such low pressure by
trouble free rotary compressor (Screw / Centrifugal Type advanced
technology is employed in lieu of old bulky piston reciprocating
compressor).
STEP 2 - Air Pre-CoolingThe second stage
of the process uses a low pressure refrigerant (R-407A as per CE
regulations) for pre-cooling the processed air to temperature around 12
deg c before it enters the purifier.
STEP 3 - Purification of Air by PurifierThe
air enters a purifier consisting of twin Molecular Sieve driers,
working alternatively. The Molecular Sieves remove the Carbon dioxide
& moisture from the process air before the air enters Air Separation
Unit.
STEP 4 - Separation of Liquid Air into Oxygen and Nitrogen in Air Separation ColumnOil
free, moisture free and Carbon Dioxide free air enters into low
pressure plate fin type Heat exchanger where the air is cooled below sub
zero temperatures by air expansion process in the turbo expander. Due
to the excellent thermal efficiency we can achieve a temperature
difference delta t as low as 2 deg c at the warm end of these
exchangers.
The air has to be cooled to sub zero temperatures for
liquification & the cryogenic refrigeration & the cooling is
provided by highly efficient turbo expander, which cools the air to
temperature almost below -165 to-170 deg C. Air gets liquefied when it
enters the air separation column & gets separated into oxygen &
nitrogen by the process of rectification.
Oxygen is available in gas or liquid form (as per requirement)
at the outlet of the ASU at a purity of 99.6%. Nitrogen is also
available at the outlet as a second product at purity of 99.99% upto
3ppm simultaneously without loss of oxygen product (or as specified).
STEP 5 - Product storage
For Gas: The final product in the form compressed
Oxygen/Nitrogen goes to the high pressure oxygen cylinders at 1 50 bar
or upto higher as required. OR, for pipeline supply or captive
consumption.                                                                                                                                                        
For Liquid: Liquid Oxygen / Nitrogen to fill in cryogenic liquid tanks.
