Abstract:
An annular divided wall column for the cryogenic rectification of air or constituents of air is provided. The annular divided wall column includes a first annular column wall and a second annular column wall disposed within the first annular column wall to define an annulus column region and an interior core column region. The present annular divided wall column further includes structured packing elements disposed within at least the annulus column region as well as a ring-shaped cantilevered collector; and a ring-shaped distributor disposed in the annulus column region above or below the plurality of structured packing elements. The thermal expansion and contraction of the second annular column wall in a radial direction and in an axial direction is independent of the thermal expansion and contraction of the first annular column wall in the radial and axial directions.

Claim (Index 8):
The annular divided wall column of  claim 7 , wherein the plurality of structured packing elements of disposed within the annulus column region are structured packing elements of a first type and the plurality of structured packing elements disposed within the interior core column region are structured packing elements of a second type; and\n wherein the first type of structured packing elements and the second type of structured packing elements have different geometries.
