Abstract
A method for tuning a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) system aimed to achieve symmetrical operating conditions based on pressure differential in the adsorption vessels is developed in this study. Simulation of an oxygen Pressure-Vacuum Swing Adsorption (PVSA) process indicates that the pressure drop inside the adsorption vessel is closely related to the nitrogen concentration and gas velocity. The technique is applied to the tuning of an oxygen PVSA process. Adsorbent vessels of the PSA system are monitored and tuned by making corrective adjustments in each of the steps in a PSA cycle in response to imbalances in the differential pressure profiles in each of the adsorbent vessels. The method developed in this study provides a faster, easier, and more effective way to bring a PSA plant to its symmetrical, optimal state than those based on other parameters such as concentration, temperature, and pressure profile.
