  • Pressure swing adsorption process with reduced pressure equalization time
    Patent number: 6565628
    Abstract: A method to reduce the cycle time in a pressure swing adsorption process by reducing the required pressure equalization time in a cycle, thereby reducing the overall cycle time and increasing product recovery per unit of adsorbent used. This reduces the amount of adsorbent required in the beds for a given feed rate while continuing to provide product at an acceptable product purity, and has the desirable effect of reducing the capital cost of the process equipment required for a given volumetric production rate.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 23, 2001
    Date of Patent: May 20, 2003
    Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.
    Inventors: Jianguo Xu, David Lester Rarig, Tracey Ann Cook, Kuo-Kuang Hsu, Michelle Schoonover, Rakesh Agrawal
