Process Description:
Atmospheric Air mainly consists of Oxygen and Nitrogen gases along with small quantities of water vapour, Carbon Dioxide, Argon, Helium, etc. Oxygen and Nitrogen from the air separated due to difference in boiling points by distillation through a fractional column.
Atmospheric air is sucked in by multi stage Compressor through a filter and is compressed to the design pressure. The Compressed Air then passed through after cooler, Moisture Separator, Cascade Cooler, Chilling unit, Moisture Separators, and them to the Molecular Sieve Battery for removal of Carbon Dioxide, Hydrocarbons and Moisture from the process Air. This pure Air then passes through the 1st Heat Exchanger, where it is cooled by the out going Nitrogen and Oxygen. Part of this cooled Air is passed through Expansion Engine and the other part through the 2nd Heat Exchanger. Both the Expansion Engine and 2nd Heat Exchanger help in further cooling down the Air, which is finally released to the bottom of the column through an expansion valve. The Air becomes liquid at this stage.
The column consists of two parts, the lower column and upper column. In between the lower and upper columns there is a condenser, which acts as a re-flux for the lower column and as a re-boiler for the upper column. The liquid air at the bottom of lower column separates through the trays to give crude Oxygen at the bottom and approximately 90% pure Nitrogen at the top. Crude Oxygen termed as rich liquid is then expanded through an expansion valve from the lower column to the middle of the upper column to the top of the upper column. Due to difference in the boiling points, the pure nitrogen boils over and accumulates at the top of the upper column and Oxygen, which accumulates at the bottom of the upper column.
Both Nitrogen and Oxygen are removed through separate paths in Heat Exchangers, for cooling the incoming air. Oxygen is compressed to a prescribed settled pressure by a liquid pump and is directly filled into cylinders. Nitrogen is however available at a pressure of approximately 0.5kg/cm2 and the same can be compressed into cylinders with help of an independent high-pressure compressor.
Normally the Nitrogen available is of 98.5% purity only and is let out into the atmosphere as waste product. However, when Nitrogen is to be filled, into the cylinders for commercial use, the plant is controlled by a change in the valve setting to make the mixed Air chamber operative to achieve the required Nitrogen purity.
Note: High purity Nitrogen of upto 2 PPM can also be tapped simultaneously with a separate liquid Nitrogen pump in modified plants , at an additional cost.
Uses of Oxygen:
Oxygen is obtained on a commercial scale through the liquefaction and distillation of ambient air at air separation plants.
Oxygen (O2) is a colorless and odorless gas. It is vital for most life forms on earth. We absorb oxygen through the air we breathe. Medical oxygen is essential in hospital and clinical care for resuscitation and surgery and for various therapies. It is also mixed with nitrogen or helium to create underwater diving mixtures.
The main industrial application of oxygen is combustion. Many materials that do not normally burn in air will burn in oxygen so mixing oxygen with air greatly enhances combustion efficiency in iron and steel, non-ferrous, glass and concrete industries. It is widely combined with a fuel gas for cutting, welding, brazing and glass blowing, offering much higher flame temperatures and thus greater efficiency than just air. With oxyfuel, plasma and laser processes, a jet of gaseous oxygen is used to cut steel. Oxygen is also popular in thermal lancing to drill or cut through materials such as concrete, brick, stone and various metals.
Due to its ability to help stabilize the arc and reduce surface tension, oxygen is used as an ingredient in some shielding gas mixtures. The chemical industry relies on pure oxygen to increase the efficiency of oxidation reactions, for instance. High-purity oxygen is used in laboratories, process-control operations, gas-cooled nuclear reactors, metal analysis instruments, and in semiconductor and optical fiber production.
On the water treatment front, oxygen is an effective way of purifying waste water and treating sewage. Other applications include sealing glass ampules in the pharmaceutical industry, oxygenation of water for aquaculture, modified atmosphere packaging mixtures and liquid explosives
