Abstract

Dans un procédé de séparation d'air par distillation cryogénique dans une unité de séparation comprenant une colonne moyenne pression (23) et une colonne basse pression (25), on envoie un débit de liquide riche en oxygène en tête de la colonne d'oxygène pur, ayant un rebouilleur de cuve (61), où il s'épure pour former un liquide de cuve contenant au moins 98% mol. d'oxygène et on soutire du liquide de cuve comme produit,on envoie un débit d'air surpressé à une deuxième pression supérieure à la première pression au rebouilleur de cuve de la colonne d'oxygène pur et à un vaporiseur d'oxygène liquide (51),on soutire un gaz riche en azote en tête de la colonne moyenne pression, on l'envoie à un rebouilleur intermédiaire de la colonne basse pression et on envoie le gaz condensé à la tête de la colonne moyenne pression, et on envoie un gaz riche en azote ou de l'air à un rebouilleur de cuve (36) de la colonne basse pression et on envoie le liquide qui s'y condense à la colonne moyenne pression.
