COLD BOX (Cryogenic process)
Cold box installed on the syn gas compressor suction having
•Turbo expander
•Plate type exchangers
•Purifier & Rectifier
COLD BOX achieves the dew point of different gases in synthesis gas for the separation of inerts (CH4, Ar) and maintains H2:N2 ratio by liquefying Nitrogen which used as reflux in rectifier and purifier by JTE (Joule Thomson effect) valve. These inert gases used as waste gas for the regeneration of the dryers and also in primary reformer for combustion.
