ENERGY CONSERVATION AND MEDIUM PURITY OXYGEN.

Author(s) : FLOWER J. R.

Summary

AIR, AS A SOURCE OF OXYGEN IN MANY PROCESSES, COULD BE REPLACED BY OXYGEN OR OXYGEN-AIR MIXTURES AS A CONTRIBUTION TO ENERGY CONSERVATION. HEAT LOSSES VIA WASTE GASES AND COMPRESSOR LOADS AND EQUIPMENT COSTS MAY BE REDUCED. THE EXTRA COST OF PRODUCING THE OXYGEN OR OXYGEN-AIR MIXTURE IS A MAJOR FACTOR AGAINST SUCH DEVELOPMENTS. THIS PAPER REPORTS INVESTIGATIONS OF NEW DISTILLATION CYCLES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MEDIUM PURITY OXYGEN WHICH OFFER SIGNIFICANT REDUCTIONS IN COSTS. DIFFERENT FLOWSHEETS USING BOTH NOVEL AND EXISTING EQUIPMENT DESIGNS ARE DESCRIBED.
