Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé et un dispositif permettant l'obtention variable d'un produit gazeux sous pression (72; 73) par fractionnement de l'air à basse température dans un système de colonnes de distillation, qui comprend une colonne haute pression (21) et une colonne basse pression (22). La totalité de l'air d'alimentation est comprimée dans un compresseur d'air principal (2) à une première pression qui est supérieure d'au moins 4 bar à la pression de service de la colonne haute pression (21). Un premier flux partiel (8, 11, 14) de l'air d'alimentation (7) comprimé dans le compresseur d'air principal (2) est refroidi dans un échangeur de chaleur principal (13) à une température intermédiaire et est détendu avec production de travail dans une première turbine à air (15) et introduit (40; 18, 19, 20) dans le système de colonnes de distillation. Un deuxième flux partiel (12, 27, 29, 30) de l'air d'alimentation comprimé dans le compresseur d'air principal (2) est comprimé ultérieurement dans un premier post-compresseur (9), refroidi dans l'échangeur de chaleur principal (13) puis détendu (31) et introduit dans le système de colonnes de distillation. Un premier flux de produit (69; 75) est prélevé sous forme liquide du système de colonnes de distillation, soumis à une augmentation de pression (71; 76) à une première pression de produit, évaporé ou pseudo-évaporé dans l'échangeur de chaleur principal (13) et réchauffé et obtenu sous la forme d'un premier produit gazeux sous pression (GOX IC; GAN IC). La totalité de l'air d'alimentation est comprimée dans un compresseur d'air principal à plusieurs niveaux (2) d'une pression d'entrée à une pression finale. Une partie (65) du premier flux partiel (16) de l'air d'alimentation détendu avec production de travail est mélangée au moins temporairement en aval du premier niveau du compresseur d'air principal (2) au flux d'air total. Dans un premier mode de fonctionnement, une première quantité de premier produit gazeux sous pression est obtenue et dans un deuxième mode de fonctionnement, une deuxième quantité inférieure est obtenue. Dans le premier mode de fonctionnement, une première quantité d'air (65, 66) détendu avec production de travail, qui peut également être nulle, est comprimée dans le compresseur d'air principal (2), et une deuxième quantité plus importante est comprimée dans le deuxième mode de fonctionnement.
