Abstract

The capital and energy costs of production of oxygen enriched air by a rapid pressure swing adsorption (RPSA) process can be reduced by decoupling the air drying and the air separation duties of the process. Integration of the oxygen-RPSA process with an enhanced combustion application system allows thermal swing adsorption drying of air feed to the RPSA process. The air separation process then can be run using an ad(de)sorption pressure envelope of 2:1 atmospheres, which significantly reduces the cost and energy of operation of the air compressor.
