The Dynamic Response and Characteristics of an Oxygen Vacuum Swing Adsorption Process to Step Perturbations. Part 2. Sensitivity Analysis and Controller Pairings

The application of vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) as a method for the production of low-purity oxygen is now a mature and widely used technology. However, unlike other unit operations, VSA processes remain difficult to understand and, coupled by the lack of theoretical developments in batch process c...
