Pressure swing adsorption process: performance optimum and adsorbent selection.

Author(s) : KUMAR R.

Type of article: Article

Summary

Simulation results for an adsorptive gas separation process are presented. A feed gas mixture containing 25% methane and 75% hydrogen at a pressure of 20 atm is separated by a four-bed, nine-step pressure swing adsorption process to produce high purity hydrogen. The optimum operating conditions for producing maximum net product are identified. It is shown that improving mass-transfer characteristics of the adsorbent is helpful only up to a limit. The best adsorbent cannot be chosen by considering only the selectivity or working capacity.
