The downsizing of a TSA system for an air purification unit using a high flow rate method

A high flow rate type air purification unit to reduce the size of adsorption vessel was developed. The setting area of air purification unit and the cost of adsorption vessel were reduced to 65% and 70% respectively. The downsizing was achieved by the way that a mass transfer zone (MTZ) was formed in the whole region of adsorbent layer and by the development of adsorbent for the high flow rate process. As regards the adsorbent, the adsorption performance to realize the process was investigated. Then the adsorbent which has larger size and higher adsorption performance was developed and TSA process experiment was carried out. As the result, the realization of the high flow rate process was made sure experimentally.
