High-temperature pressure swing adsorption cycle design for sorption-enhanced water–gas shift

Biogas Upgrading by Pressure Swing Adsorption

Producing Nitrogen via Pressure Swing Adsorption

Nitrogen gas is a staple of the chemical industry. Because it is an inert gas, nitrogen is suitable for a wide range of applications covering various aspects of chemical manufacturing, processing, handling, and shipping. Due to its low reactivity, nitrogen is an excellent blanketing and purging gas that can be used to protect valuable products from harmful contaminants. It also enables the safe...

Process intensification in duplex pressure swing adsorption

As an alternative to the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) based on the Skarstrom cycle or its variants, a novel two-bed PSA--called duplex PSA--has been proposed by Hirose and independently by Leavitt to get both products of high purities. Simulation and experimental studies on duplex PSA for CO2 capture indicate that CO2 can be enriched to 95 mol% of feed containing 20 mol% CO2 and 80 mol% N2. ...

Title : SIMULATION OF DYNAMIC PRESSURE - SWING GAS SORPTION IN POLYMERS

Title: SIMULATION OF DYNAMIC PRESSURESWING GAS SORPTION IN POLYMERS Heather Jane St. Pierre, Master of Science, 2005 Directed By: Professor Timothy A. Barbari Department of Chemical Engineering A transport model was developed to simulate a dynamic pressure-swing sorption process that separates binary gas mixtures using a packed bed of non-porous spherical polymer particles. The model was solved...

Advanced Strategies for Optimal Design and Operation of Pressure Swing Adsorption

With expanding areas of applications, increasing needs for efficient cycles, and growing demands for efficient modeling, it has become essential to develop new systematic strategies for optimal design and operation of PSA systems. Although industrial usage of PSA is widespread, we observe a drought of any systematic methodology to design PSA cycles in PSA literature due to inherent complexity o...
