Description
BDM Oxygen Plant
The free atmospheric air is sucked in the nitrogen oxygen gas plants by a multi-stage
air compressor through a filter and compressed to the working pressure. After
each stage, intermediate coolers and water separators are provided. The compressed
air then passed through the evaporation pre-cooler and then to the molecular
sieve battery where the moisture and carbon di-oxide are removed from the process
air. It then passes through the heat exchanger No.1 where it is cooled by the
out-going waste nitrogen gas and product oxygen produced in the oxygen gas plants.
A part of this cold air then flows through an expansion machine and the balance
through the 2nd heat exchanger. The ratio of the two air streams is controlled
by an expansion valve, RI. Both these streams of air then unite in the medium
pressure column where it partially liquefies.
The liquid air (rich liquid) then passes through the expansion valve R2 to upper
column which is at lower pressure then the medium pressure column. Similarly
the liquid nitrogen (poor liquid) travels from the medium pressure column to
the upper column through an expansion valve R3 where the separation of oxygen
and nitrogen occurs. Nitrogen being more volatile passes out as a gas from the
top of the column and this waste nitrogen flows through both the heat exchangers
cooling the in-coming air. Similarly the product oxygen is also passed through
the two heat exchangers to cool the incoming air and then to the filling manifold
via a liquid pump. If a small amount of air is vented out from the upper column,
higher purity nitrogen can also be obtained firm this plant.R4 valve is provided
in order to fasten cooling during start-up after defrost.
