Abstract
The operating pressure of the PSA unit was used as the driving force for permeation, which assists the pressurization and high-pressure adsorption steps of the pressure swing adsorption process. To fully explore the synergy between both units for a wide range of separation scenarios, two cases were considered, i.e., H2/CH4 separation and CO2/N2 and CH4/CO2 separations. Adsorption equilibrium measurements of N2, CO2, and CH4 were performed on a coal-based, high activity, extruded carbon. The inclusion of a membrane module into a periodic PSA process, by a truly synergistically scheme, was an innovative method to improve separation performance of several gas systems when compared with the more common stand-alone units. This is an abstract of a paper presented at the 2006 AIChE National Meeting (San Francisco, CA 11/12-17/2006).
