Abstract

Front-end purification units (FEPU) are an integral part of a modern air separation plant (ASP) and are intended for air deep purification from the impurities before its low-temperature separation. The above purification process implementation at high-capacity ASP required carrying out of a great scope of comprehensive sophisticated research and design works. Adsorptive layers adsorption, regeneration and aerodynamics processes of regenerating gaseshave been studied in details. The purification units calculation procedures have been developed. Various designs of adsorbers have been developed and their experimental and industrial testing has been performed. The plants of up to 205 thousand nm3/h equipped with new front-end purification units have been mastered at JSC «Cryogenmash» production facilities and implemented at a number of enterprises. The company possesses a certain experience in the equipment commissioning and operation. Some results of executed works that determined the engineering solutions adopted in the process of developing FEPU for JSC «Cryogenmash» new ASP are stated.
