Pressure Swing Adsorption: A Functional Apparatus and Future Teaching Tool
Pressure Swing Adsorption: A Functional Apparatus and Future Teaching Tool
Pressure swing adsorption, often abbreviated as PSA, is a common separation technique that is used to generate high-purity gas streams in industries such as manufacturing, food processing and even healthcare. Our team designed and built a PSA apparatus that will generate streams of oxygen and nitrogen for use in the chemical engineering laboratories. Further, our team completed a scale up and economic analysis of this technology for producing medical grade oxygen on-site at a medical facility.
