20090259323ADSORPTION CONTROL METHOD - A method of controlling a pressure swing adsorption unit in which a manipulated variable such as a capacity factor used by such unit in setting the bed cycle time is updated with a manipulated variable computed within a controller. The controller has a feed forward level of control in which the updated manipulated variable is calculated from a probability function when the product is likely to go off spec as determined by the probability function. In such manner, an optimal manipulated variable can be calculated that will maximize recovery in a manner that the probability of the product going off spec will be acceptable. If a specific impurity within the product is above a targeted range, a change to the optimal manipulated variable is computed with the use of a feedback level of control utilizing fuzzy logic.10-15-2009
