Embodiment 1

[0080] The results are modeled and in N 2 The MTC is about 14 / s for low-rate devices and N 2 The MTC is about 26 / s obtained on high rate devices. Table 2 shows the modeled and demonstrated effects of not opening the product valve before 0.25s before the inflection point of the bed top and surge tank. This prevents the device from producing target purities for low-rate materials, and results in results that are economically comparable to high-rate materials (more material is required, but power consumption is reduced).

[0086] By modeling and in N 2 The result is obtained on a high-efficiency device with an MTC of about 28 / s. Table 3 shows the modeling and demonstration effects of not fully opening the product valve until 2 s after the inflection point of the bed top and surge tank. This enables high-efficiency equipment to produce more O of the same purity 2 products, but has no effect on low-efficiency devices.

Embodiment 3

[0091] For low rate equipment, where economically relevant, start with a maximum maximum pressure of 11.3 psig. In this case, ASME has a limit of 12 psig and provides a 0.5 psig offset for the process safety valve. This also takes into account a 0.2 psig normal variation in peak pressure cycle-to-cycle as part of the necessary assumptions for supply pressure. Table 4 shows typical pressure drop curves.

Abstract

The invention relates to a process for modifying the VPSA / VSA / PSA cycle to allow for maximum product pressure without the need for a base load oxygen compressor (BLOC) or base load oxygen blower (BLOB), thus supplying low pressure oxygen (3 to 7 Psig) to the end user while at the same time lowering product costs 10 to 30%. The system of this invention preferably employs larger piping runs from theVPSA to the oxy-fuel control skids, larger piping for the oxy-fuel control skid, larger piping for the VPSA, low pressure drop flow measurements, and low pressure drop check valves.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a method for modifying the VPSA / VSA / PSA cycle to allow maximum product pressure without the need for a Base Load Oxygen Compressor (BLOC) or a Base Load Oxygen Blower (BLOB). Typical equipment produces oxygen in the range of 1 to 2 psig, while consumption for combustion and other applications requires 2 to 8 psig. According to the present invention, higher rate adsorbents can be recycled in an improved process for more effective and efficient delivery of oxygen to end customers while saving substantial capital and operating expenses. These benefits apply to any system that delivers pressures from 1 psig up to 11 psig without product compression. Background technique [0002] Usually, VPSA O 2 The production of O takes place at low pressure, making the need to compress the product O 2 flow to serve customers. The purpose of this invention is to use advanced materials to achieve higher oxygen delivery pressures so tha...
