Use of Process Analytics in Cryogenic Air Separation Plants

چکیده
For further treatment of primary and intermediate materials, large amounts of oxygen and nitrogen are required by many industries, e. g. chemical and petrochemical, metal, semiconductor and food industry, in machine construction and many others. Oxygen and nitrogen are, together with Argon, the main constituents of ambient air. They are obtained from there by means of the air separation technology in highly automated air separation plants. Siemens is a leading supplier of Process Analytical Instrumentation and offers very capable gas analyzers which meet perfectly the demanding requirementsof air separation plants. Furthermore, Siemens offers complete analytical solutions from planning and engineering up to installation and maintenance. This Case Study explains the cryogenic air separation process and the related analysis tasks.

A Decision Tree for Technology Selection of Nitrogen Production Plants
Nitrogen is produced mainly from its most abundant source, the air, using three processes: membrane, pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and cryogenic. The most common method for evaluating a process is using the selection diagrams based on feasibility studies. Since the selection diagrams are presented by different companies, they are biased, and provide unsimilar and even controversial results. I...

متن کاملSimulation of a membrane air separation unit using industrial process simulators
Nowadays, membrane processes are widely used for high purity Nitrogen production. Separation of air by membranes is a flexible process in which the investment and operational costs are lower than for example adsorption or cryogenic processes. Such processes are based on relative permeability of air components which are transported by the pressure difference between two sides of the membrane. M...
متن کاملCompartmental modeling of high purity air separation columns
High purity distillation columns are critical unit operations in cryogenic air separation plants. The development of nonlinear control technology is motivated by the need to frequently change production rates in response to time varying utility costs. Detailed column models based on stage-by-stage balance equations are too complex to be incorporated directly into optimization-based strategies s...
