“…This is similar to processes described in Malek and Farooq (1997) and Waldron and Sircar (2000). The adsorbent bed is packed with APHP and UOP 5A zeolite occupying one third and two thirds of the bed, respectively.…”

“…The dual-sorbent PSA process was operated with the same cycle sequence adopted in the previous single-sorbent study (Malek and Farooq, 1997b). Therefore, the assumptions of the extended model are broadly similar to those made in the previous study.…”

“…The equilibrium isotherm parameters and mass-and wall heat-transfer parameters used in (Malek and Farooq, 1997b) and compiled in Table 2 of that publication are used in the present study without any change. The additional equilibrium and mass-transfer parameters required in the extended dualsorbent model presented here are given in Table 2.…”

“…Typically a silica gel layer is added to remove the heavier hydrocarbons prior to reaching the activated carbon layer, which is more suitable for the lighter hydrocarbons. These deficiencies in the model developed in our previous publication (Malek and Farooq, 1997b) have been addressed in this study.…”

“…In an earlier article (Malek and Farooq, 1997b), we discussed the development of a simulation model for a six-bed, ten-step pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process. The performance of the numerical model was verified with experimental results from a laboratory-scale PSA unit.…”
