Title:
PRESSURE-SWING-ADSORPTION GAS PRODUCING APPARATUS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2017/169689
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a pressure-swing-adsorption gas producing apparatus in which the concentration of a gas being purified that is exhausted from an adsorption tower can be maintained at an appropriate concentration while an appropriate operation state is maintained. A membrane separation unit 9, which has a separation membrane 9A through which a miscellaneous gas passes quickly relative to a gas being purified, and a pressure-boosting unit 10 that boosts the pressure of an off-gas and feeds the off-gas to the membrane separation unit 9 are provided to an off-gas exhaust path 4 connected to multiple adsorption towers 1. A recycle gas return path 11 that returns a recycle gas that does not pass through the separation membrane 9A to a feedstock gas supply path 3 is provided. When the adsorption time for carrying out an adsorption step is changed or adjusted, an operation control unit sets the supply rate at which the off-gas is supplied from the pressure-boosting unit 10 to the membrane separation unit 9 to a flow-rate at which the off-gas amount exhausted from an adsorption tower 1 before the adsorption time is changed is equal to the off-gas amount supplied from the pressure-boosting unit 10 to the membrane separation unit 9, after the adsorption time is changed, between the start of a desorption step at an adsorption tower 1 and the start of a desorption step at a separate adsorption tower 1.
