Description Process synthesis is one of the important aspects in the design of adsorption processes, especially in the case of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes. A process simulator which can help in taking decisions on the number of beds, operating configurations and operating parameters (pressure ratio, cycle step times, flow velocity, feed/purge ratio, etc.) can minimize the necessity of pilot plant studies, resolve commissioning problems and help in optimal operation. This work makes an attempt at simulation based on-line synthesis, design and optimization of PSA processes. A simulation/tuning/optimization software has been developed for PSA processes for multicomponent separation. Adaptive simulation based process synthesis and optimization strategies have been demonstrated using a rigorous simulation (called Process) as an emulation of a flexible PSA plant instead of an actual plant and a less rigorous model as its simulation. The findings based on this study appear to be an effective approach to optimal synthesis, design and optimization of any PSA processes.
