ABSTRACT:
A system and method of controlling a vacuum swing adsorption process. During an adsorption step, the percent composition of the gas being processed is sensed as it is introduced into at least one train of beds which comprises a pretreatment bed and an air fractionation bed. The control system terminates the adsorption step when a predetermined high level oxygen composition is detected. During a rinse step the percent composition of the high purity nitrogen in the train is sensed. The control system terminates the rinse step when a predetermined low level oxygen composition is detected. During an evacuation step, the level of pressure in the train is sensed and predetermined subatmospheric pressure levels are detected for terminating evacuation in first, the air fractionation bed, and second, the pretreatment bed. During a pressurization step, the pressure level in the pretreatment bed is sensed and the control system terminates the pressurization in the train when a predetermined pressure level is detected in the pretreatment bed.
