Method for producing an air separation installation
View Patent ↗The invention relates to a method for producing an installation for implementing a method for cryogenic air separation, whereby at least one constituent of the air used is obtained as a product by means of a selected method variant. Said installation comprises at least one coldbox in which a module is arranged. The invention is characterized in that several classes are predefined, each class determining the dimensions of the coldbox pertaining thereto, and the coldbox of each class being large enough to hold the module for at least two different product quantity requirements and/or at least two different method variants. A coldbox of a certain class is selected and the module is arranged in the coldbox of said selected class.
1. A process for producing a system for carrying out a low-temperature air separation process in which at least one component of the feed air is obtained as product by means of a selected process variant, the system having exactly one coldbox in which there is at least one module, characterized in that several size classes are predefined, one size class fixing the dimensions of the coldbox of this size class and the coldbox of each size class being so large that in the coldbox the module for at least two different product amount requirements and/or at least two different process variants can be accommodated, and that one coldbox of a certain size class is selected and the module is located in the coldbox of the selected size class.
2. A process for producing a system according to claim 1 , wherein 3 to 10 size classes are predefined.
3. A process for producing a system according to claim 1 , wherein the system is suitable for processing more than 25000 Nm 3 /h of air.
4. A process for producing a system according to claim 1 , wherein 4 to 6 size classes are predefined.
5. A process for producing a system according to claim 4 , further comprising storing the dimensions of the several size classes of coldboxes, whereby multiple systems having different requirements can be produced on the basis of the different stored classes of the coldboxes.
6. A process for producing a system for carrying out low-temperature air separation process in which at least one component of the feed air is obtained as product by means of a selected process variant, the system having at least one coldbox in which there is at least one module, characterized in that several size classes are predefined, one size class fixing the dimensions of the coldbox of this size class and the coldbox of each size class being so large that in the coldbox the module for at least two different product amount requirements and/or at least two different process variants can be accommodated, and that one coldbox of a certain size class is selected and the module is located in the coldbox of the selected size class, further comprising storing the dimensions of the several size classes of coldboxes, whereby multiple systems having different requirements can be produced on the basis of the different stored classes of the coldboxes.
7. A process for producing a system according to claim 6 , wherein the system has at least two coldboxes.
8. A process for producing a system according to claim 6 , wherein 3 to 10 size classes are predefined.
9. A process for producing a system according to claim 7 , wherein 3 to 10 size classes are predefined.
10. A process for producing a system according to claim 7 , wherein 4 to 8 size classes are predefined.
11. A process for producing a system according to claim 7 , wherein 4 to 6 size classes are predefined.
12. A process for producing a system according to claim 6 , wherein the system is suitable for processing more than 25000 Nm 3 /h of air.
13. A process for producing a system according to claim 7 , wherein the system is suitable for processing more than 25000 Nm 3 /h of air.
14. A process for producing a system according to claim 8 , wherein the system is suitable for processing more than 25000 Nm 3 /h of air.
15. A process for producing a system according to claim 9 , wherein the system is suitable for processing more than 25000 Nm 3 of air.
16. A process for producing a system according to claim 6 , wherein the system is suitable for processing more than 50000 Nm 3 /h of air.
17. A process for producing a system according to claim 2 , wherein the system is suitable for processing more than 25000 Nm 3 /h of air.
