Definitions
- the present subject matter relates, in general, to gas purification and, in particular, to purification of a mixed gas feed to produce a product gas.
- Gases such as hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen are widely used in fertilizer industries, chemical processing plants, refineries, and steel industries.
- pure hydrogen is used for desulfurization of petroleum products in refineries, in fertilizer industries, and for fats and oil hydrogenation.
- the gases are generally produced at industrial scale by utilizing gas purification techniques.
- One such gas purification technique is Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA).
- PSA Pressure Swing Adsorption
- the PSA technique is used for separation and purification of hydrogen from a mixed gas feed containing one or more undesirable gases as impurities.
- the PSA technique generally includes subjecting the mixed gas feed to a cyclic process of adsorption, desorption, and regeneration through sequential valve operations.
- the mixed gas feed is introduced at high pressure to adsorption beds within a PSA unit.
- the high pressure of the mixed gas feed facilitates loading of gas molecules of the impurities on adsorbent surface to separate the impurities from the mixed gas feed and provide hydrogen gas.
- Desorption is performed by decreasing pressure of the adsorption beds and separating the impurities from the adsorption materials to obtain regenerated adsorption beds.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a gas purification system, in accordance with an implementation of the present subject matter
- FIG. 2 illustrates a flowchart of a method of purifying a mixed gas feed to produce hydrogen, in accordance with an implementation of the present subject matter.
- product gases are obtained at industrial scale by utilizing gas purification units installed in industries and chemical processing plants to purify large volume of gases.
- the gas purification units may have multiple vessels or adsorption beds having adsorption materials through which a mixed gas feed having other gases and particles as impurities is passed.
- the adsorption materials adsorb the impurities from the mixed gas feed and provide a pure form of a product gas.
- the multiple adsorption beds are used for purifying large volumes of mixed gas feed and therefore, with time, may become saturated and show reduced adsorption efficiency.
- the adsorption materials are generally regenerated at a positive pressure.
- the regeneration of the multiple adsorption beds may separate the impurities from the adsorption material such that the adsorption beds may regain adsorption efficiency and can be used for subsequent cycles of purification.
- regenerating the adsorbent materials at the positive pressure may have lower efficiency of regeneration and reduced desorption efficiency of the regenerated adsorption materials. Therefore, such regenerated adsorption materials may have decreased efficiency of separating the impurities from the mixed gas feed and may have to be regenerated in short intervals, thereby reducing overall efficiency of the process.
- the product gas supplied by such gas purification units is generally impure and includes traces of impurities in form of other gases and particles.
- impurities in the product gas may alter properties of the product gas and may affect usage and application of the product gas. For instance, the impurities may reduce calorific value of the product gas, thereby reducing burning efficiency of the product gas in furnaces.
- the gas purification units utilize large adsorption beds having bulk amount of adsorption materials to treat the mixed gas feed and supply the product gas. Such large adsorption beds and bulk amount of adsorption materials occupy large space and incur high capital and running expenses for the industries.
- the present subject matter describes a gas purification system to purify a mixed gas feed and provide a product gas.
- the gas purification system may include a Rotating Packed Bed (RPB) unit and a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) unit coupled to the RPB unit.
- the RPB unit may include a gas inlet, a solvent inlet, a solvent outlet, and a gas outlet.
- the PSA unit may include an inlet, multiple adsorption beds, a product gas outlet and an impure gas outlet.
- the inlet of the PSA unit may be coupled to the gas outlet of the RPB unit to receive a gas treated by the RPB unit.
- the gas inlet of the RPB unit may receive a mixed gas feed.
- the mixed gas feed may include multiple impurities, such as bulk impurities and finer impurities.
- the bulk impurity may include heavy hydrocarbons
- carbon dioxide gas Finer impurities may include light hydrocarbon impurities, inert gases like Nitrogen, Argon, , and carbon monoxide.
- the solvent may be utilized to eliminate a first set of impurities from the mixed gas feed in the RPB unit to obtain an enriched gas.
- the enriched gas may then be supplied through the gas outlet to the PSA unit.
- the first set of impurities may include one or more impurities present in the mixed gas feed, such as heavy hydrocarbons, light hydrocarbons, and carbon dioxide gas.
- the inlet of the PSA unit may receive the enriched gas through the gas outlet of the RPB unit.
- the enriched gas may then be passed through multiple adsorption beds in the PSA unit.
- the multiple adsorption beds may adsorb a second set of impurities from the enriched gas to obtain a product gas.
- the product gas may then be supplied through the product gas outlet of the PSA unit.
- the second set of impurities may include one or more impurities present in the enriched gas, such as one or more finer impurities and may be removed from the PSA unit through the impure gas outlet.
- the gas purification system purifies a mixed gas feed to produce a product gas efficiently by removing bulk impurities in the RPB unit and the finer impurities in the PSA unit.
- the gas purification system facilitates a compact PSA unit having reduced quantities of adsorbent materials for purification of the gas.
- the gas purification system facilitates purification of the mixed gas feed and regeneration of the adsorption beds at lower or negative pressures. Therefore, the gas purification system is space and process efficient and saves capital and running expenses. Further, the gas purification system reduces amount of hydrocarbon gas processed in a given time in a given space thereby enhancing safety of a user operating the gas purification system.

Abstract
L'invention concerne un système de purification de gaz (100). Le système de purification de gaz (100) comprend une unité de lit fixe rotatif (RPB) et une unité d'adsorption modulée en pression (PSA). L'unité RPB (102) comprend une entrée de gaz (106) pour recevoir la charge de gaz mixte comprenant de multiples impuretés, un solvant pour éliminer un premier ensemble d'impuretés afin d'obtenir un gaz enrichi, et une sortie de gaz (108) pour fournir le gaz enrichi. L'unité PSA (104) comprend une entrée (124) couplée à la sortie de gaz (108) de l'unité RPB pour recevoir le gaz enrichi, de multiples lits d'adsorption (126) pour éliminer un second ensemble d'impuretés du gaz enrichi, et une sortie de gaz de produit (128), pour fournir un gaz de produit.
