ABSTRACT:
The present invention discloses a means to improve the production capacity and feedstock handling flexibility of a simulated moving bed adsorptive separation process by introducing a second feed stream to the adsorbent chamber, such second feed stream comprising a feed material of a different concentration of the desired compound than the concentration of such desired compound in the first feed material stream. The introduction of this second feed material stream may be performed at any location on the adsorbent chamber between (i) a transfer point located immediately upstream of the point of the raffinate material stream withdrawal from the adsorbent chamber to (ii) a transfer point located immediately downstream of the point of extract material stream withdrawal from the adsorbent chamber. The specific transfer point used for the introduction of the second feed material stream will depend upon the concentration of the desired component in the second feed material stream.
