Process and system for providing acetylene
View Patent ↗A system for providing a high purity acetylene comprising 100 ppm or less solvent to a point of use comprising a storage vessel that houses an acetylene feed steam comprising acetylene and solvent; a cooling system that maintains the storage vessel and provides the acetylene feed stream at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to −50° C.; and a purifier in fluid communication with the storage vessel wherein the acetylene feed stream is introduced into the purifier at a temperature ranging from −50° C. to 30° C. to remove at least a portion of the solvent contained therein and provide the high purity acetylene.
1. A system for providing a high purity acetylene comprising 100 ppm or less solvent to a point of use comprising:
a storage cylinder that houses an acetylene feed steam comprising acetylene and solvent;
a cooling system that maintains the storage cylinder and provides the acetylene feed stream at a temperature ranging from 20° C. to −50° C.; and
a purifier in fluid communication with the storage cylinder wherein the acetylene feed stream is introduced into the purifier at a temperature ranging from −50° C. to 30° C. to remove at least a portion of the solvent contained therein and provide the high purity acetylene.
2. The system of claim 1 wherein the system further comprises an additional storage cylinder.
3. The system of claim 1 wherein the system further comprises a central processing unit in electrical communication with the cooling system.
4. The system of claim 1 wherein the storage cylinder further comprises a regulator and a flash arrestor.
5. The system of claim 1 wherein the system further comprises a plurality of purifiers.
