Problems solved by technology

[0022] None of these prior art methods allow for automatic control of swing adsorption whereby the completion time of adsorbent bed regeneration can be varied by on-line displacement of the operating bed by the regenerated bed to match the completion time of simultaneous adsorption

Abstract

The concentration of adsorbate in the feed gas (1) to an on-stream bed (13) of a cyclical swing adsorption process is monitored (35) and the data processed (33) to predict the time required to complete the on-stream mode of that bed and the purge (27) flow rate and / or other regeneration mode operating condition (28) of the concurrently off-stream bed (14) is modified in response to changes in said predicted time whereby the regeneration mode of the off-steam bed is completed at the same time as the on-stream mode of the concurrent on-stream bed.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cyclical swing adsorption process for the separation of feed gas mixtures. The term "separation" as used in this specification includes the removal of contaminants and / or impurities from a gas stream, which can then be further separated. The invention has particular, but not exclusive application to removing carbon dioxide in a feed gas or at least reducing the level of carbon dioxide in a feed gas to render the feed gas suitable for downstream processing. The invention is particularly useful for removing carbon dioxide from air to be used as feed gas in cryogenic separation or purification processes of air. Background technique [0002] Carbon dioxide is a relatively high-boiling gaseous species, and its removal, along with other high-boiling species such as water that may be present in the feed gas, is necessary if the mixture is to be subsequently processed in a low-temperature (eg, freezing) process. If relative...
