Design and Construction of Portable Oxygen Concentrator Using Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Technology

EasyChair Preprint no. 9850

Abstract

Oxygen is used in various chemical processes and for medical purposes around the world. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the need for medical Oxygen has increased sharply in all hospitals in the world. In this thesis, we will design Oxygen Concentrator with use an adsorption column design for an effective Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) unit to utilize heat exchange between an isothermic adsorption process and an endothermic adsorption process. Efficient operation of the PSA process is required to utilize the adsorbent capacity as much as possible and reduce the processing power requirements. This research is expected to provide suitable operating conditions to develop a better PSA process using the adsorbent type zeolite Alam Bayah and Synthetic zeolite Na-X.

Keyphrases: adsorption column, Alam Bayah zeolite, oxygen, Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA), zeolite Na-X
