Two-column relay simulated moving-bed for gas-phase separations

Conference Dates

Abstract

A new two-column, relay, simulated moving bed process (2-column R-SMB) for gas-phase separations has been designed and implemented experimentally in this work. R-SMB differs from classical SMB processes by avoiding the partial withdrawal of products, since the outlet streams are handled in a relay mode. The outlet streams are either fully collected as product/waste or completely recycled to another column.

In this work, the relay concept is applied for the first time in 2-column SMB processes and gas-phase separations. The process is designed and optimized through model-based computational simulation and the results obtained are validated experimentally. For the purpose, a new experimental lab-scale unit was designed and assembled.
