Translated abstract:
With indirectly heated and cooled adsorbers, bulk separation by temperature swing adsorption becomes economically feasible. A three adsorber quasi-continuous process to remove CO2 from an N2/CO2 mixture is established in a pilot plant. Experimental tests are performed to optimize the CO2 capacity and the N2 recovery. The experimentally determined data are used to validate a 2D simulation model. The validated model is applied to analyze additional process parameters.
