Abstract
In view of the poor deoxygenation and low safety for CH4/N2/O2 mixture a two-bed vacuum pressure swing adsorption (VPSA) process for separating 25%CH4/59%N2/16%O2 mixture was developed by numerical simulation and experiment based on the laboratory-made activated carbon adsorbent. The VPSA mathematical models were validated by comparing the influences of feed and replacement flowrates variations on experimental and simulative results, respectively. On the basis, safety analysis of entire VPSA process was performed systematically to seek for the steps in presence of potential safety hazard. On the basis of analysis, a more safe VPSA process was proposed to achieve safe separation operations. The research results showed that the two-bed VPSA process can obtain a rich-methane product with 51.36% methane purity and 85.65% recovery. The adsorption, pressure-equalization and pressurization were the dominating steps in the presence of potential safety hazard, which can be sought for a solution to realize the safe operations of VPSA process by feed gas inserting.关键词
