Author(s) : CUZIC M., SERBAN A., POPA V.

Summary

Argon recovery is an important challenge for cryogenic industry. Its recovery is maximized by optimizing the number of theoretical stages in each section of low pressure air separation column and argon column and also the flow rates of the streams. For increasing argon recovery in a cryogenic air separation process, the crude argon column have a condenser in the top and the trays are a combination of conventional sieve trays and structured packing. The condenser is feed with oxygen enriched liquid from the kettle of high pressure column.
