摘要:
The invention relates to an inerting method as well as an inerting system (1) to set and/or maintain a reduced oxygen content in an enclosed room (2), wherein a gas separation system (3.1, 4.1; 3.2, 4.2; 3.3, 4.3) is provided which separates off at least a portion of the oxygen from an initial gas mixture provided in a mixing chamber (6) and by so doing, provides a nitrogen-enriched gas mixture. In order to optimize the operation of the inerting system (1), the invention provides for a portion of the air to be withdrawn from the enclosed room (2) and admixed with fresh air in the mixing chamber (6).

In the present invention high performance cross-linked polybenzoxazole and polybenzothiazole polymer membranes and methods for making and using these membranes have been developed. The cross-linked polybenzoxazole and polybenzothiazole polymer membranes are prepared by: 1) first synthesizing polyimide polymers comprising pendent functional groups (e.g., —OH or —SH) ortho to the heterocyclic imide nitrogen and cross-linkable functional groups in the polymer backbone; 2) fabricating polyimide membranes from these polymers; 3) converting the polyimide membranes to polybenzoxazole or polybenzothiazole membranes by heating under inert atmosphere such as nitrogen or vacuum; and 4) finally converting the membranes to high performance cross-linked polybenzoxazole or polybenzothiazole membranes by a crosslinking treatment, preferably UV radiation. The membranes can be fabricated into any convenient geometry. The high performance cross-linked polybenzoxazole and polybenzothiazole polymer membranes of the present invention are suitable for a variety of liquid, gas, and vapor separations.

The invention relates to an apparatus for creating an air-conditioned atmosphere in a transportation container (14), having a compressor (3) for generating compressed air, a cooling device (5) for cooling the compressed air and a gas-separation diaphragm (10), which is connected downstream of the compressor (3) and the cooling device (5), for producing a nitrogen-rich gas stream, and a wetting diaphragm (12), with the apparatus permitting controlled wetting of the nitrogen-rich gas stream. The invention also relates to a method for creating an air-conditioned atmosphere in a storage or transportation container, in which method compressed air is generated by means of a compressor, the compressed air is then cooled using a cooling device and a nitrogen-rich gas stream is produced from the compressed air for the purpose of conduction into the transportation container by means of a gas-separation diaphragm.

A gas purifier of the present invention includes a purifier in which a gas-purifying agent is packed, wherein a gas is fed into the purifier, and impurities in the gas are removed by a thermal swing adsorption method, in which an amount A of the gas-purifying agent is determined such that an impurities-removing capacity possessed by half of the amount A of the gas-purifying agent is equal to the total amount of impurities in the gas to be purified in one purification step, and the amount of the gas-purifying agent packed in the purifier is the amount A or more.
摘要:
At least one gaseous impurity, for example silane, is removed by absorption from a feed gas stream, for example a gas stream comprising nitrogen and hydrogen, the gaseous impurity being less volatile than the feed gas stream. The absorption is effected by a sub-cooled absorbent at a first cryogenic temperature and a first pressure. The absorbent is typically propane. The absorption may be conducted in a liquid-vapour contact column (130). Absorbent containing impurity may be regenerated in a regeneration vessel 150 and returned to the column (130).
摘要:
A shipboard system provides dry, oil-free utility air and inert gas for use on a marine vessel. A compressor converts ambient air into a pressurized air stream. The air stream is cooled by heat exchange with sea water in the vicinity of the vessel. The air stream is then dried in a dehydration membrane module, and some of the product of the dehydration module is taken for use as utility air. The remainder of the dried air is passed through an air separation module which includes a polymeric membrane. The product of the air separation module includes a nitrogen-enriched gas which is used as an inert gas on the vessel. The compressor is the only mechanically moving component of the system.
摘要:
Large quantities of high purity and high pressure nitrogen or oxygen gas are produced using a portable system. A PSA, VSA, TSA, or permeable membrane system cleans the air of water and carbon dioxide, as normally required by the cryogenic distillation cycle, but additionally, a significant amount of the oxygen or nitrogen is also removed, depending on the desired produced gas. The removal of the oxygen or nitrogen before the cryogenic process permits the distillation column to be significantly shorter than would otherwise be required. This in turn reduces the size of the equipment such that it can easily be transported and setup. Additionally, a high pressure liquid pump is used to boost the pressure of the nitrogen or oxygen immediately before it goes through the last pass of the cryogenic heat exchanger where the liquid is vaporized and the incoming gas is cooled.
摘要:
An apparatus and a method for separating a specified gas from a gas to be treated containing the specified gas comprising at least one ingredient, which comprises allowing the gas to be treated to flow through a column without the use of another gas for transferring the gas to be treated, while keeping the inside of the column packed with a packing material at a reduced pressure. The above apparatus and method can be suitably used for separating a specified gas having a high purity at a low cost.
摘要:
A method for controlling an adsorption unit and associated compressor that adjusts the flow rate of a compressed feed stream produced by the compressor so that it increases from a nominal flow rate and then decreased back to the nominal flow rate. The increase and decrease of the feed stream flow rate are controlled in accordance with increase and decrease rate functions of adsorbent bed pressure ratio between off-line and on-line adsorbent beds and a triggering pressure ratio at which the feed flow rate decreases. Each of the increase and decrease rate functions is tuned to produce a similar response in the flow of a product stream produced by the adsorption unit. Additionally, repressurization time is controlled by driving it toward a target value that allows the purge stage of regeneration to be maximized and therefore, the degree to which each of the adsorbent beds is regenerated.
