Abstract: Pressure shift adsorption (PSA) process for producing a gas stream enriched with compound X from a feed gas stream, using N adsorbers with N?5, each adsorber being subjected to a pressure cycle having a phase time corresponding to the duration of the pressure cycle divided by the number of adsorbers, and a series of active steps, characterized in that each adsorber n follows the pressure cycle with an offset of one phase time with respect to the pressure cycle of the adsorber n?1 with n?N, and during each phase time, only one active step or a part of active step takes place.

Abstract: TSA method for purification by means of adsorption of a synthetic gas including hydrogen, CO and/or methane, implementing at least one adsorber having at least one adsorbent and subjected to a pressure cycle comprising at least an adsorption step, a step of producing a flow enriched with a main component and a regeneration step, characterized in that the regeneration step includes: regenerating the adsorbent using a regeneration gas including more than 95 mol of nitrogen; and scavenging the adsorbent using a scavenging gas corresponding to a fraction of the synthetic gas to be purified or a fraction of the purified synthetic gas.

Abstract: Process for producing hydrogen from a gas mixture comprising hydrogen, CO2, CO, CH4 and water, employing a CO2 PSA unit, a cryogenic unit and an H2 PSA unit, in which process: a) said gas mixture is introduced into the CO2 PSA unit, producing a CO2-enriched fraction and CO2-depleted fraction; b) CO2-enriched fraction is introduced into the cryogenic unit, producing a CO2-enriched fraction and an H2-enriched fraction; c) the H2-enriched fraction is recycled upstream of the H2 PSA unit; and d) the CO2-depleted fraction coming from step b) is introduced into the H2 PSA unit, producing a hydrogen-enriched stream and a waste gas.
