Abstract
Both power and Hare produced from a gaseous mixture, comprising Hand CO, using first and second pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems in series. The gaseous mixture is fed at super-atmospheric pressure to the first PSA system, which comprises adsorbent that selectively adsorbs COat said pressure, and COis adsorbed, thereby providing an H-enriched mixture at super-atmospheric pressure. A fuel stream is formed from a portion of the H-enriched mixture, which is combusted and the combustion effluent expanded to generate power. Another portion of the H-enriched mixture is sent to the second PSA system, which comprises adsorbent that selectively adsorbs COat super-atmospheric pressure, and COis adsorbed, thereby providing a high purity Hproduct. In preferred embodiments, the division of H-enriched mixture between forming the fuel stream and being fed to the second PSA system is adjustable.
