Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an adsorption purification unit comprising the combination of a regenerative element comprising structured adsorbents and an adsorber filled with a particulate adsorbent.
  • adsorption processes can be used.
  • several adsorbers filled with selective adsorbent materials are used with respect to at least one of the constituents of the feed stream.
  • the gas circulates vertically through an adsorbent bed
  • the gas circulates radially, either from the inside to the outside (relative to the adsorption phase) in centrifugal configuration, or from the outside in centripetal configuration.
  • V PSA designating one or the other 2 units but also a combination of 2.
  • Axial technology is inexpensive but when dealing with high flow rates, head losses and attrition problems become limiting.
  • one solution consists in moving in radial geometry resulting in a limitation of the pressure drops without increasing the radius of the adsorber.
  • the radial adsorber provides an increased passage area for a given adsorber volume and is theoretically not subject to limitation vis-à-vis the attrition phenomena.
  • the adsorbent bed can be suspended between vertical perforated grids suspended from the top.
  • the most known disadvantages of this radial technology are an increase in dead volumes and a high manufacturing cost.
  • a PSA or TSA type adsorption process comprising two types of adsorbents (A and B) requiring a passage of gas in A before B in the adsorption phase and the amount of adsorbent B required is very large relative to the amount A.
  • the adsorber comprising 2 beds, 3 grids are generally used to maintain the particulate materials.
  • the material A is situated between the so-called “external” grid and the so-called “intermediate” grid, while the material B is maintained between the same intermediate grid and the so-called “internal” grid.
  • This disproportion A / B then accentuates on the one hand the difficulties of construction of said radial adsorber since the diameters of the outer and intermediate grids are close together, and consequently makes it difficult to maintain a regular thickness of the bed due to idealities and possible deformations of the grids may lead to preferential passages in areas where the thickness of sieve would be less.
  • one solution consists in reversing the flow direction of the gases as well as the distribution of the adsorbents, so that the adsorbent A is located between the internal gate and the intermediate gate and that the adsorbent B is between the intermediate grid and the external grid.
  • the adsorber With a flow of gas from the inside to the outside of the bottle in the adsorption phase, the adsorber is thus in a "radial centrifugal" configuration (FIG. 1).
  • centrifugal configuration may be less energy efficient than the centripetal solution.
  • VSA 02 where this centrifugal configuration substantially increases the pressure losses and therefore penalizes the specific energy of the process, as well as the case of TSA where the regeneration of the outside towards the inside will increase the losses. thermal.
  • VSA 02 are conventionally constituted of two beds, the first being a low-volume layer of alumina (silica gel or certain zeolites are also used alone or in combination) whose purpose is to stop the water contained in the supply air and the second is a layer of zeolite selectively retaining nitrogen with respect to oxygen.
  • alumina silicon gel or certain zeolites are also used alone or in combination
  • VSA 02. A geometry allowing to preserve the centripetal configuration called “mushroom” was used for these VSA 02. It consisted in installing in the bottom of the adsorber a layer of granulated alumina retained between two grids with a radial circulation of the fluid or more simply disposed in axial configuration. Yes this solution makes it possible to maintain a centripetal radial configuration for the zeolite, it nonetheless considerably complicates the construction and entails a significant additional cost.

  • the structured adsorbents have (in comparison with granulated adsorbents) the peculiarity of allowing very good kinetics and very low pressure losses without having a known limit of attrition.
  • the structured adsorbent used preferentially is a contactor with parallel passages.
  • parallel passage contactor is meant a device in which the fluid passes into channels whose walls contain adsorbent.
  • the fluid circulates in essentially obstacle free channels, these channels allowing the fluid to flow from an input to an output of the contactor.

  • the adsorber consists of a cylindrical shell and two bottoms and the particulate adsorbent bed is held in place by means of two perforated grids arranged in a concentric manner; the ratio of the volume of particulate adsorbent to the volume of structured adsorbent is between 2 and 100.
