Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0430803A1] Upper rich liquid (LR2) drawn off at an intermediate point of the intermediate-pressure column (4) is decompressed and sent as reflux to the low-pressure column (5). The lower rich liquid (LR1) drawn off at the vessel of the intermediate-pressure column (4) and less rich in argon than the preceding one, is employed at least partly to form a residual gas of the plant, for example after remixing in a column section (3) with impure nitrogen drawn off at the head of the low-pressure column. <IMAGE>
