Benefits of technology

This technology allows us to reduce waste gas produced during production without losing its effectiveness or causing damage. It uses some other ways like directly exposed steam to remove moisture while still producing cleaned warm liquid called condensate (liquid).

Problems solved by technology

Technics: Compressors and Purifiers work together to remove unwanted substances like harmful chemical compounds found within exhaust streams produced during manufacturing processes. However, these systems require large amounts of energy due to their operation involving heat exchange between different components. Therefore there needs improvement over existing methods without sacrificing efficiency.

Embodiment Construction

[0056]The invention shall be described in more detail by referring to the figures.

[0057]FIG. 1 shows an apparatus and an integrated process for separating a mixture of carbon dioxide and at least one other gas and for separating air by cryogenic distillation according to the invention. FIGS. 2 to 4 show the details of various water cooling towers used to cool the air upstream of the air separation by distillation in FIG. 1, according to the invention. In FIG. 1, a stream of air 1 is cooled in a pre-cooling unit P comprising an air scrubbing tower with water and a water cooling tower with nitrogen 17. This type of cooling is well known in the “Industrial Gas Handbook” by F. G. Kerry, page 112. The air 3 cooled in the pre-cooling unit P is sent to an apparatus for separating air ASU wherein it is purified in order to remove the carbon dioxide and the moisture, cooled and separated in a system of columns in order to produce oxygen 5 and nitrogen 17. The oxygen 5 is sent to an oxy-fuel com
