摘要:
A method of enriching and recovering gaseous oxygen contained in raw gas by a single tower PSA method performed by using a single adsorption tower (1) having adsorbent filled therein, comprising the repeated cycles of an adsorption process for leading the raw gas into the adsorption tower (1), a detaching process for detaching the unnecessary compositions adsorbed to the adsorbent from the adsorbent, a cleaning process for exhausting the residual gas remaining in the adsorption tower (1) by leading cleaning gas into the adsorption tower (1), and a pressure-building process for raising a pressure in the adsorption tower (1), the detaching process comprising a process for recovering the quasi-oxygen enriched gas in the adsorption tower (1) at the end of the adsorption process, the cleaning process comprising a process for leading, as cleaning gas, a part of the quasi-oxygen enriched gas in a recovery tank (3) to the adsorption tower (1), the pressure building process comprising a process for leading the quasi-oxygen enriched gas remaining in the recovery tank (3) to the adsorption tower (1).
摘要:
A process is provided for recovering oxygen-rich gas by enriching gaseous oxygen contained in crude gas by a single-tank PSA process which utilizes a single adsorption tower (1) loaded with an adsorbent. In the process, a cycle is repeated which includes an adsorption step of introducing crude gas into the adsorption tower (1), a desorbing step of desorbing unnecessary components from the adsorbent, a washing step of introducing washing gas into the adsorption tower (1) for discharging the remaining gas from the adsorption tower (1), and a pressurizing step of raising the internal pressure of the adsorption tower (1). The desorbing step includes recovering semi-enriched oxygen gas existing in the adsorption tower (1) after finishing of the adsorption for retention in a recovery tank (3). The washing step includes introducing part of the semi-enriched oxygen gas existing in the recovery tank (3) into the adsorption tower (1) as the washing gas. The pressurizing step includes introducing the rest of the semi-enriched oxygen gas retained in the recovery tank (3) into the adsorption tower (1).
