ABSTRACT:
A process for separating the components of a gas mixture in a single adsorption vessel pressure swing adsorption system including the steps: (a) cocurrently passing the gas mixture through the adsorption vessel at a desired adsorption pressure and collecting the nonadsorbed product gas in a storage vessel, (b) cocurrently depressurizing the adsorption vessel and pumping gas removed from the adsorption vessel during this step to the storage vessel, (c) regenerating the adsorbent in the adsorption vessel by countercurrently depressurizing the adsorption vessel, and (d) repressurizing the adsorption vessel to the desired adsorption pressure. Steps (a) and (b) are carried out using gas pumping or compressing devices, and the same or different gas pumping or compressing devices can be used for steps (a) and (b). Step (c) can also be carried out with the pumping device used in step (a). The apparatus used to carry out the process includes a single adsorption vessel adsorption system, a pump to charge feed gas into and withdraw strongly adsorbed gas from the adsorption vessel and a pump to transfer nonadsorbed product gas from the adsorption vessel to the storage vessel, and the system may have a single pump or a pair of pumps for the gas transfer operations.
