Adsorbents for Purification in PSA/VPSA Air Separation Units
Non-cryogenic air separation processes use physical property differences such as molecular size and mass, to produce oxygen at sufficient purity to meet the needs of oxygen users. The most common technologies are PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption), VPSA (Vacuum-Pressure Swing Adsorption), which are used to separate a single component from ordinary air to produce oxygen.
- Advantages at a Glance:
- High N2/O2 selectivity
- High N2 adsorption capacity
- High adsorption and desorption rate
- High Water Adsorption Capacity
- Full Technical and After-sales Service
- High N2 adsorption capacity
- High adsorption and desorption rate
- Stable product specification
PSA and VPSA technology are used to produce oxygen by passing compressed air through a vessel containing adsorbent materials. In the process most of the desired molecule（O2） passes through the adsorbent bed, while molecular sieve adsorbent selectively removes water, CO2 and N2 from the feed air.
