The Potential of Liquefied Oxygen Storage for Flexible Oxygen-Pressure Swing Adsorption Unit

The pressure swing adsorption (PSA) units are widely used as an oxygen source. Start-up time taking minutes is an undeniable advantage of PSA technology compared to cryogenic air separation start-up time taking hours or days. The increasing share of renewable electricity causes intraday electricity...

description The pressure swing adsorption (PSA) units are widely used as an oxygen source. Start-up time taking minutes is an undeniable advantage of PSA technology compared to cryogenic air separation start-up time taking hours or days.

These fluctuations can be an opportunity to improve the economy of a plant and/or to accumulate electricity in the form of liquefied products. This paper aims to demonstrate the possibility of a flexible PSA unit connected to a small oxy-fuel combustion unit.
