PSA(Pressure Swing Adsorption)is an advanced air separation technology．It remains an irreplaceable
standing in site gas supply field．
Under adsorption balance condition，for any adsorbent，when adsorbs one sort of gas,the higher the air pressure is，the more quantity it can adsorb，vice versa．
As shown on the diagram above，carbon molecular sieve has obvious adsorption differences to oxygen and nitrogen. There are many tiny holes inside the carbon molecular sieve．Under certain pressure，the tiny holes have different adsorption capacity to oxygen and nitrogen．When air pressure increases，carbon molecular sieve adsorbs oxygen and produces nitrogen，when air pressure drops to normal condition，carbon molecular sieve desorbs oxygen and regenerates itself．Two towers are generally provided，when one absorbs oxygen and produces nitrogen，the other desorbs oxygen and makes regeneration．This alternate process constantly produces nitrogen．
Underground-Use Equipment
(1) Air Source Trailer
Mainly composed of air compressor, for providing compressed air with rated flow and pressure.
(2) Air Cleaning Trailer
Firstly, compressed air passes oil-removing purifier to have its most oil, water and dust removed. After that, it flows to fine filter, ultrafine filter, active carbon filter and active carbon oil-remover one after another for further removing of oil, water and dust. Finally, clean compressed air is obtained.
(3) Nitrogen Generation Trailer
Clean compressed air enters nitrogen generation system. By opening pipeline pneumatic valves, it flows into the two adsorption towers,filled with carbon molecular sieve (CMS) alternately with a certain pressure and time interval. In the adsorption towers, O2 molecule,smaller diameter, is adsorbed by CMS in priority while the N2 molecule whose diameter is bigger flows out of adsorption towers and is delivered via pipeline pneumatic valve. When tower A is being injected with air for adsorbing and producing N2,tower B is desorbing and discharging the adsorbed O2 for regenerating CMS. The so called course of desorption by discharging the adsorbed gases for CMS regeneration is realized as follows: By opening pipeline pneumatic valves, O2 adsorbed by CMS is discharged into atmosphere via muffler so as to pressure relieve CMS for its regeneration. In the mean time, part of the produced N2 gas flows back into adsorption tower that is desorbing via needle valve and check valve for purging purpose so as to improve CMS regeneration effect.
(4) Nitrogen Buffer Tank Trailer
N2 delivered from nitrogen generation trailer flows into nitrogen buffer tank. After having its dust removed by dedusting filter, its pressure and output flow are adjusted as needed by pressure regulating valve and throttle valve respectively. Meanwhile, a small part of N2 gas is delivered to CH4/O2 Analyzer via needle valve for O2 content inspection.
Ground-Use Equipment
(1) Compressed Air Cleaning Assembly
Compressed air from air compressor passes compressed air cleaning assembly first to have its most oil, water and dust removed by gas-water separator and pipeline filter and further processed by refrigerated dryer, fine filter and ultrafine filter. The specially designed oil remover protects carbon molecular sieve from even slight oil contamination, which ensures long life use of CMS. The clean compressed air after treatment could be used as instrument air.
(2) Air Tank Assembly
Air tank plays the role of buffering for the incoming clean air so as to reduce system pressure fluctuation and ensure stable pass of compressed air through compressed air cleaning package. It helps PSA O2/N2 Separation system relieve from heavy-load and when the two adsorption towers switch, it provides a huge amount of compressed air in a short time for fast pressure rise so that one tower's inside pressure reaches working pressure shortly and stable running of equipment is guaranteed.
(3) Oxyen And Nitrogen Separation Assembly
There are two adsorption towers (A and B) filled with CMS. When clean compressed air passes tower A, O2, CO2 and H2O are adsorbed while N2 gas flows out. After a period of time, adsorption of CMS in tower A is saturated and stops automatically. Compressed air then flows to Tower B for the same process and CMS in tower A is being regenerated. CMS regeneration is realized by fast reducing the pressure inside a tower to atmospheric pressure so as to desorb the O2, CO2 and H2O. Two towers' CMS adsorbs and regenerates alternately for continuous O2/N2 separation and N2 output. The above process is completely controlled by PLC. When gases are being exhausted to atmosphere, muffler helps reduce the noise to less than 85dBA.
(4) Nitrogen Buffer Tank Assembly
Nitrogen buffer tank is used for balancing the pressure and O2 content of N2 from PSA O2/N2 Separation System, so as to guarantee continuous and stable N2 supply. In addition, when the two adsorption towers switch, part of its N2 gas flows back to help raise pressure and protect their bed, which is an extremely important assistance for the technical process of the equipment.
