Devices, systems, and methods for treating ethylene oxide waste gas
The present disclosure discloses a device, system, and method for treating an ethylene oxide waste gas. The system includes a first pressure swing adsorption tower, a first thermostatic assembly, a gas storage tank, a first branch pipe, and a second branch pipe. The first pressure swing adsorption tower comprises a first accommodating chamber which accommodates an adsorption material. A first vent port and a first exhaust port are in communication with the first accommodating chamber. The first pressure swing adsorption tower is partially disposed in the first thermostatic assembly. The gas storage tank comprises a gas inlet/outlet port. The first branch pipe and the second branch pipe are in communication with the first vent port. The first branch pipe couples the first vent port with the gas inlet/outlet port and the second branch pipe introduces an ethylene oxide waste gas into the first pressure swing adsorption tower.
Method and apparatus for reducing process disturbances during pressurization of an adsorber in an air separation unit
A method for reducing process disturbances during pressurization of an adsorber in an air separation unit is provided, in which the air separation unit includes a front end purification unit and an air buffer tank. In one embodiment, the method can include the steps of: pressurizing a first adsorber while a second adsorber operates in an adsorption cycle, wherein the step of pressurizing the first adsorber further includes the steps of withdrawing a pressurized air stream from the air buffer tank and introducing the pressurized air stream to the first adsorber until the first adsorber is at a target pressure, wherein the air buffer tank is in fluid communication with the booster air compressor, wherein the method further includes the step of continually sending a first portion of air flow from the booster air compressor to the air buffer tank and continually sending a second portion of air flow from the booster air compressor to a system of columns within a cold box for rectification therein.
