Cryogenic Rectification System For Producing Low Purity Oxygen And High Purity Oxygen
US Patent:
5806342, Sep 15, 1998
Filed:
Oct 15, 1997
Appl. No.:
8/950744
Inventors:
Dante Patrick Bonaquist - Grand Island NY
Nancy Jean Lynch - North Tonawanda NY
Susan Marie Sattan - Amherst NY
James Richard Handley - East Amherst NY

Assignee:
Praxair Technology, Inc. - Danbury CT
International Classification:
F25J 302
US Classification:
62646
Abstract:
A cryogenic rectification system for producing low purity oxygen and high purity oxygen employing an offset dual column with bottom reboil of the lower pressure column effected by condensing feed air, with intermediate reboil of the lower pressure column effected by condensing higher pressure column top vapor, and with waste nitrogen turboexpansion to generate refrigeration.
Process To Separate Nitrogen And Methane
US Patent:
4664686, May 12, 1987
Filed:
Feb 7, 1986
Appl. No.:
6/827165
Inventors:
Ravindra F. Pahade - North Tonawanda NY
James J. Maloney - Tonawanda NY
James R. Handley - Amherst NY
James J. Maloney - Tonawanda NY
James R. Handley - Amherst NY
Assignee:
Union Carbide Corporation - Danbury CT
International Classification:
F25J 302
US Classification:
62 24
Abstract:
A process for more efficiently separating nitrogen and methane using a double column cryogenic rectification nitrogen rejection unit wherein feed is passed through a high pressure stripping column prior to the nitrogen rejection unit. As a result, higher pressure methane can be recovered with reduced compression requirements, and an upgraded feed to the nitrogen rejection unit enables more efficient separation.
Cryogenic Rectification System For Producing Low Purity Oxygen And High Purity Oxygen
US Patent:
5916262, Jun 29, 1999
Filed:
Sep 8, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/148877

Assignee:
Praxair Technology, Inc. - Danbury CT
International Classification:
F25J 300
US Classification:
62646
Abstract:
A cryogenic rectification system wherein low purity oxygen is recovered from a side column or the lower pressure column of a double column while a portion of the low purity oxygen is fed to an auxiliary column driven by fluid having a high nitrogen concentration wherein high purity oxygen is produced.
Cryogenic Rectification Process For Separating Nitrogen And Methane
US Patent:
4878932, Nov 7, 1989
Filed:
Mar 21, 1988
Appl. No.:
7/326727
Inventors:
Ravindra F. Phade - Getzville NY
James R. Handley - Amherst NY
James R. Handley - Amherst NY
Assignee:
Union Carbide Corporation - Danbury CT
International Classification:
F25J 302
US Classification:
62 24
Abstract:
A cryogenic rectification process for the separation of nitrogen and methane wherein feed is preseparated in a high pressure column or phase separator into vapor and liquid portions, the vapor is condensed and at least partly employed as reflux for a main column, the liquid is passed into the main column at an intermediate point, and a portion of the liquid is vaporized against itself to provide additional column vapor upflow.
Cryogenic Distillation With Unbalanced Heat Pump
US Patent:
4987744, Jan 29, 1991
Filed:
Jan 26, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/470715
Inventors:
James R. Handley - Amherst NY
Ravindra F. Pahade - Getzville NY
Ravindra F. Pahade - Getzville NY
Assignee:
Union Carbide Industrial Gases Technology Corporation - Danbury CT
International Classification:
F25J 302
US Classification:
62 24
Abstract:
A cryogenic distillation system wherein a first heat exchange fluid transfers heat in part from a process stream to the bottom of a column, and in part from a process stream to a second heat exchange fluid and out of the system, thus generating net refrigeration.
Feed Compression Method And Apparatus For Air Separation Process
US Patent:
2012012, May 24, 2012
Filed:
Nov 19, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/950196
Inventors:
Neil Mark Prosser - Lockport NY, US
Minish Mahendra Shah - East Amherst NY, US

International Classification:
F25J 3/00
US Classification:
62643
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for separating air to produce a gaseous oxygen product in which the air is separated in an air separation plant to conduct a cryogenic rectification process that utilizes higher and lower pressure compressed air streams. The higher and lower pressure compressed air streams are generated in two multistage compressors linked together so that the lower pressure compressed air stream is produced from intermediate stages and the higher pressure compressed air stream is produced from higher pressure compression stages. During turn-down operational conditions, one of the two multistage compressors can be shut down to decrease the flow of air and therefore, the production of the oxygen product.
Separation Of Nitrogen And Methane With Residue Turboexpansion
US Patent:
5041149, Aug 20, 1991
Filed:
Oct 18, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/599415
Inventors:
James R. Handley - Amherst NY
Assignee:
Union Carbide Industrial Gases Technology Corporation - Danbury CT
International Classification:
F25J 302
US Classification:
62 27
Abstract:
A method for separating nitrogen and methane by cryogenic distillation wherein methane residue is turboexpanded to generate refrigeration to drive the separation.
Cryogenic Helium Production System
US Patent:
5329775, Jul 19, 1994
Filed:
Dec 4, 1992
Appl. No.:
7/985982

James R. Handley - East Amherst NY
Assignee:
Praxair Technology, Inc. - Danbury CT
International Classification:
F25J 302
US Classification:
62 24
Abstract:
A cryogenic helium production system wherein a feed which includes carbon dioxide is processed in a dual temperature system including an upstream higher temperature and higher pressure column or dephlegmator, thus eliminating the need for a separate non-cryogenic carbon dioxide removal step.
