AM-07-13 Rapid Cycle Pressure Swing Adsorption (RCPSA) for Hydrogen Recovery and Optimization

Description:

RCPSA technology focuses on refinery H2 recovery and optimization • Capital/operating cost for H2 recovery using conventional PSA (cPSA) is only ~ 45% of H2 generation via SMR1 • CO2 emissions lowered by ~ 7,500 tons per MSCFD of H2 generated RCPSA technology offers inherent advantages over conventional “cPSA” technology • Proprietary structured adsorbent replaces conventional beads • Up to 100 times higher mass transfer coefficient than conventional adsorbent • Significantly increased productivity per unit volume of adsorbent bed • Proprietary multi-port rotary valves replace complex network of switching valves • Rapid and efficient switching of gases between beds • Effectively capturing increased capacity of adsorbent bed
