Abstract

The separation of methane from a simulated natural gas mixture of 57% methane, 23% ethane, 13% propane, and 7% n-butane using a pilot scale pressure swing adsorption unit loaded with one of the Linde zeolite adsorbents 5A, 13X or SR115 silicalite is reported. The effect of operating parameters cycle time, cycle high and low pressure, and varying feed and purge flow rates, on the separation is investigated.The effectiveness of the adsorbents in the demethanization process is compared.
