The issue of the amount of crude argon gas
Thread Content
I’m new to air separation technology and have a question for the experts: what determines the flow rate of crude argon in an air separation unit? Our facility is used for hydrogenation and purification of argon; what effects and consequences will occur if too much or too little crude argon gas is drawn off? All I know is that if too much argon is drawn from the argon extraction section, the oxygen content in the crude argon increases, which in turn raises the temperature of the reaction furnace; conversely, the temperature decreases
There’s also the hydrogenation extraction process now; please upload the relevant materials.
Generally, the extraction rate for the argon fraction is controlled at around 25% of the air volume, while that for crude argon is kept between 1/25 and 1/30 of the amount of the argon fraction. This is mainly determined by the parameters set by the equipment manufacturer, with the aim of ensuring both an adequate extraction rate and high purity~~
