Abstract
A pressure-swing adsorption (PSA) system includes a plurality of substantially similar pairs of towers, each tower containing adsorbent material for separating a gas into components. Each tower has a top header and the bottom headers, the headers being connected to extensions which define conduit segments. When a new pair of towers is placed alongside an existing pair of towers, the conduit segments are aligned to define longer conduits spanning all of the pairs of towers. Thus, the longer conduits can be used to direct gas into towers from all of the pairs, and to withdraw product gas from towers in all of the pairs. The capacity of the PSA system can thus be easily expanded or reduced. Some or all of the piping used to direct gas to and from the towers is replaced by one or more control blocks, which define passages for gas flow.
