Abstract

Segregated external gas storage tanks are used to store gases of varying purity for use in the purge and pressure equalization and product repressurization steps of pressure swing adsorption operations, thereby enabling the bed size factor and the power requirements of pressure swing adsorption-gas separation operations to be significantly reduced.
