Pressure swing adsorption
Also known as: PSA
Pressure swing adsorption is a common method for purifying hydrogen in a refinery by removing other hydrocarbon gases.
The PSA unit uses a molecular sieve to adsorb hydrocarbons other than hydrogen, resulting in a purified hydrogen stream. Pressure is used to release the adsorbed hydrocarbons once the hydrogen has been separated.
