Nitrogen plant transported abroad Ⅱ

The warm end has been installed in the XLA factory. After the plant arrives at the site, which only needs to connect electricity to operate directly. While the common plants require 3-4 months to complete the commissioning and operation.
The significant feature of the plant is unattended and remote control. Besides, if the internal overhaul pipe required, a person could be free in and out.

Scope of application-helium

Helium is mainly used for the detection of leakage in medical and military refrigeration semiconductor pipelines, high-precision welding metal, manufacturing deep-sea diving photoelectronics, production of balloon borne scientific research and military, etc.
1.Nuclear magnetic resonance (cryogenic superconductivity) field
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses the cryogenic superconducting magnet technology requires cooling liquid helium, according to the statistics, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging accounted for 34% of the world’s dosage of helium, one of the biggest end use industry. Although demand for magnetic resonance imaging in developed countries is declining, but demand is still strong growth in developing countries, so as to keep the strong demand of liquid helium.
2.Refrigeration (home appliances) field
Helium gas is mainly used for detecting the leakage of condenser, evaporator and pipeline system.
3.Semiconductor, fiber field
Helium is mainly used for protecting gas of germanium and silicon crystal growing in semiconductor industry. Cooling and protective atmosphere gas in fiber prefabrication and fiber drawing processes.
4.Welding shielding gas
Usage: When some metals are heated or melted, an inert atmosphere must be used to prevent them from reacting with oxygen and nitrogen in the atmosphere. A lot of helium is consumed in metal welding. In inert gas shielded tungsten arc welding (TIG), unmelted tungsten electricity, searing metal filler and welding areas are protected by a continuous mixture of helium or helium-argon. The gas mixture used in the welding can be prepared in different proportions by helium and argon. Depending on the welding process, the welding wire and the difference of base material welded, the mixture can be composed differently, and the helium content in the helium-argon mixture is usually 15-70%.
5.Cryogenic engineering
Usage: Due to the chemical inertness of helium and extremely low liquefaction point, it is at all except for extremely cryogenic is close to the ideal gas behavior, and the unit mass of high heat capacity, low viscosity and high thermal conductivity characteristics, so the helium is typically used as the working medium of closed cycle cryogenic refrigerator, cryogenic superconducting magnet in major national science and engineering, and superconducting cavity cooling medium, and the college scientific research experiments, etc
6.aerospace
Usage: In rocket and space vehicle fuel systems, helium is used to clean cryogenic fuel and oxidize tanks, as well as pressurized cryogenic tank liquid surface space to provide pressure for direct delivery of liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen or only to provide net positive suction pressure to infusion pumps. Helium is often used as a working medium in pneumatic control systems.
7.Automobile manufacturing field
Usage: Helium is used in automobile airbag, air tightness detection of aluminum alloy wheel hub, air conditioning evaporator, compressor and condenser, and application of helium in laser welding of automobile frame.
8.Other field
Physiological and medical treatment, nuclear reactor, electric light source, metallurgy and metal processing technology, analysis and test of carrier gas, etc. This part of gas is generally not recycled.

What does distillation mean?

For two substances of different boiling point (such as oxygen and nitrogen) compositing mixed solution, while after absorbing heat and partial evaporation, volatile composition nitrogen will evaporate more. Mixed steam releases heat and part of it condensates, while composition oxygen which is difficult to volatilize will condensate more. If you make saturated steam with higher temperature and saturated solution mixed, then steam gives off heat to saturated solution. After releasing heat, part of steam will condensate. Solution will absorb heat and part of it will evaporate. When partial steam’s condensation happens, due to oxygen condensates more, so the concentration of lower boiling point composition (nitrogen) in steam would be promoted.
During partial evaporation of solution, owing to nitrogen evaporates more, the concentration of higher boiling point composition (oxygen) will be promoted. If after partial evaporation and partial condensation are executed once, steam of higher concentration nitrogen and solution of higher concentration oxygen mix with solution and steam respectively with different temperature, then partial condensation and partial evaporation happen again, then the nitrogen concentration in steam and the oxygen concentration in solution will be promoted more procedures like this happen more times, then nitrogen concentration in steam will become higher and higher, at last we can achieve the purpose of separating oxygen and nitrogen.The whole press we call it distillation.
Generally speaking, the distillation is making use of different boiling point of two substances, and let the press of partially condensation of mixed steam and partially evaporation of mixed solution repeated, then finally we can achieve the purpose of separation.

Deep freezing technology

Deep freezing technology is the most widely used air separation technology at present, and it is also the focus of competition among countries in air separation technology.
Cryogenic technology uses the principle of different boiling points of oxygen and nitrogen gases under the same pressure to separate gases
Compared with the separation device of other processes, the air separation device developed by cryogenic technology can easily meet the requirements of high yield and high purity, which can meet the requirements of modern large-scale industrial production.
Therefore, the most discussed and widely used in the air separation industry is the air separation device using cryogenic technology.
