摘要 |
The invention concerns a method involving the intake (through 16 ) of air in an intake of an air separation plant ( 14 ), supplying (though 16 ) at least a fraction of the intake air from a gas turbine compressor section ( 2 ), and extracting from the air separation plant ( 16 ) two gas streams (through 20, 24, 32 , and 36 ) respectively nitrogen-enriched and oxygen-enriched streams; detecting (through 18 ) a substantial decrease in the flow rate of the air fraction from the gas turbine compressor section ( 2 ), then recycling (through 28, 42 ), to the inlet of the air separation plant ( 14 ) at least part of one of the two gas streams, and thus avoiding any major fluctuation of the intake air flow rate of said air separation plant.
