Abstract

A PSA compiler is proposed. To cover various types of combination of columns, it has new commands relevant to PSA operation such as single-column modules and coupled-column modules. It also has commands for specifying conditions, managing column allocation and displaying outputs. The user describes the system structure and operating conditions by these commands, and the compiler interprets his program and returns the data that he wants. Hence he can investigate the effect of various manipulating variables as well as various system structures promptly. Up to six components, eight columns and four kinds of adsorbents in each column can be treated. In spite of such high flexibility, this compiler is implemented in a personal computer for handiness.
Oxygen enrichment in air by a triple-column PSA is simulated for two different types of column combinations.
