Abstract
A method for producing oxygen from air using vacuum swing adsorption by means of a unit including at least two adsorbers each following, with an offset a pressure cycle, with a decompression step including at least a co-current first decompression sub-step for the partial balancing of pressure with the other adsorber which is performing counter-current recompression by means of a balancing valve, and, at least for one cycle out of three, a dead time sub-step which succeeds the first decompression sub-step, the method including a pressure of X bar at the end of the first decompression sub-step for the cycles that do not have a dead time sub-step, and a pressure of X bar at the end of the dead time sub-step, opening the balancing valve identically during the first decompression sub-step and the dead time sub-step, for the cycles that do have a dead time sub-step.
