20110265644 | OXYGEN SUPPLY METHOD AND APPARATUS - A method and apparatus for supplying oxygen to meet a user demand in which oxygen is separated from air by an electrically driven oxygen separation device to supply oxygen to meet the user demand and to charge an adsorbent bed with all or part of the separated oxygen. When a user demand exists, oxygen can be supplied from both the electrically driven oxygen separation device and from oxygen desorbed from the adsorbent bed. | 11-03-2011 |
20140245781 | PURIFICATION OF ARGON THROUGH LIQUID PHASE CRYOGENIC ADSORPTION - The invention relates to a process for removing oxygen from liquid argon using a TSA (temperature swing adsorption) cyclical process that includes cooling an adsorbent bed to sustain argon in a liquid phase; supplying the adsorbent bed with a liquid argon feed that is contaminated with oxygen and purifying the liquid argon thereby producing an argon product with less oxygen contaminant than is in the initial liquid argon feed; draining the purified residual liquid argon product and sending purified argon out of the adsorbent bed. Regeneration of specially prepared adsorbent allows the adsorbent bed to warm up to temperatures that preclude the use of requiring either vacuum or evacuation of adsorbent from the bed. | 09-04-2014 |
20140245782 | ARGON PRODUCTION METHOD AND APPARATUS - A method and apparatus for producing a purified liquid argon product in which liquid argon having oxygen impurities is produced in a cryogenic air separation plant by separating argon from oxygen within an argon column. An impure liquid argon stream, composed of part of the liquid argon, is purified in an adsorbent bed by adsorbing the oxygen impurities in an adsorbent to produce a purified liquid argon stream that constitutes the purified liquid argon product. During adsorption, the adsorbent bed is maintained at a reduced temperature with a coolant to prevent vaporization of the liquid argon. The bed is then regenerated by draining residual liquid argon from the adsorbent bed, introducing the residual liquid argon back into the air separation plant and then desorbing the oxygen impurities with a regeneration gas. After regeneration, the adsorbent bed is refilled with purified liquid argon prior to being brought back on-line. | 09-04-2014 |
20140249023 | ADSORBENT COMPOSITION FOR ARGON PURIFICATION - An optimal material composition that allows for the purification of at least one feed component from a fluid feed stream such that the adsorbent has an oxygen capacity of at least 10 weight percent is described. More specifically, the material is an adsorbent for purification of a fluid feed stream having an oxygen to argon selectivity greater than or equal to a ratio of 3:1 and an oxygen capacity of greater than or equal to 10 weight percent, wherein the oxygen capacity is measured at a pressure in the range of about 9-10 Torr and a temperature of 77 degrees Kelvin after 4 hours of equilibration time and wherein the oxygen to argon selectivity is obtained by dividing the oxygen capacity by the argon capacity of the adsorbent measured at a pressure in the range of about 697-700 Torr and a temperature of 87 degrees Kelvin after 8 hours of equilibration time. The adsorption capacities are measured on a pure component basis. | 09-04-2014 |

20140094359 | GAS SEPARATION ADSORBENTS AND MANUFACTURING METHOD - The present invention generally relates to high rate adsorbents and a method for their manufacture involving the steps of component mixing, extrusion, spheronization and calcination. The component mixing can involve both dry mixing in addition to wet mixing of an adsorbent with a binder, if required, and a fluid such as water. The paste so formed from the mixing stage is extruded to produce pellets which are optionally converted to beads by spheronization using in one embodiment, a marumerizer. The product is harvested and calcined to set any binder or binders used and/or burn out any additives or processing aids. This basic manufacturing scheme can be augmented by extra processing steps including ion exchange and activation to alter the composition of the adsorbents, as required. | 04-03-2014 |
