摘要 |
<p>The invention relates to an installation for high pressure oxygen production by means of air distillation. The inventive installation comprises: primary air compression means (3) which are driven by turbines (4); N(N>1) air distillation apparatus (8) which produce liquid oxygen and/or liquid nitrogen; at least one pump (9) for pumping the liquid oxygen and/or the liquid nitrogen at at least one high pressure; and secondary compression means (10) which are designed to compress a calorigenic fluid that is used to vaporise said liquid(s). The secondary compression means (10) are driven by electric motors (11) and an auxiliary turbine (12) drives an alternator (13) which supplies electric current to said motors. The invention is suitable for use in supplying synthetic hydrocarbon production units (2) with high pressure nitrogen and/or oxygen.</p> |
