Pressure Swing Adsorption: Separation of Nitrogen and Oxygen from Air
Pressure Swing Adsorption: Separation of Nitrogen and Oxygen from Air
Pressure Swing Adsorption, PSA, is a common separation technique that is used to produce high-purity gas product streams that can be used in a variety of industrial applications. The PSA design team designed and assembled a fully functional bench-scale PSA that produces streams of oxygen and nitrogen. This bench-scale system will serve as a teaching aid for the future senior chemical engineering laboratories. Our team completed scale up and economic analysis for use at an on-site medical center.
