Adsorption Plants

Over 500 PSA plants - including the world‘s largest units - have been designed and supplied by Linde. The well proven Linde High Performance PSA Systems provide an economic and reliable separation and purification of a wide range of process gases. The capacities range from small plants of some 100 Nm³/h to large scale plants of over 400,000 Nm^³/h feed gas flow. These PSA systems are suitable for the most different applications in the refining, petrochemical, chemical, iron/steel-making and mining industry.

Main applications of Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) plants are: 

• Hydrogen recovery and purification

• Carbon dioxide removal and purification

• Oxygen generation

• Nitrogen generation

• Helium recovery and purification

• Methane purification

The particular features of Linde‘s PSA technology are high product recovery rates, low operating costs and operational simplicity. Highest reliability and on-stream availability of the plants is achieved by special design features and the use of proven high-quality plant components.

Modular skid design of the PSA plants reduces erection time and costs at site. The fully prefabricated skids are thoroughly tested before they leave the workshop. Commissioning and start-up of the plants as well as operator training and after-sales service are performed by experienced specialists.
