Model PSA-1000

Model PSA-1000, the new dual-bed pressure swing adsorption (PSA) testing system, is designed for materials and process evaluations in a variety of gas-separation research studies. It is fully integrated and automated, and the computer-controlled protocols provide testing capability over wide ranges of gas flowrates, temperatures, and pressures (including vacuum). The instrumentation design and materials of construction permit the evaluation of all types of gases and adsorbate materials for chemical, petrochemical, gas-purification and energy-related applications in academic, industrial, and government R&D laboratory settings. The PSA system handles testing of activated carbons, zeolites, metal organic frameworks (MOFs), and molecular sieves, and is especially effective for mixed-bed testing and the study of adsorbate poisoning and critical time-cycling. With adsorbate bed volumes up to 1,200 cm3, gas flowrates up to 25 L/min, and pressures up to 1,200 psia, the system can be customized to meet specific requirements
