Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Modeling

The RAPID Center for Process Modeling (CPM) team has developed a number of Pressure Swing Adsoprtion (PSA) models. Two separate models and the toPSAil simulator developed under this effort are currently available for use.

Totally Open Pressure Swing Adsorption Intensification Laboratory (toPSAil)

About

The RAPID Center for Process Modeling team at Georgia Tech has developed a Totally Open Pressure Swing Adsorption Intensification Laboratory (toPSAil) that referred to as the simulator.

    • toPSAil is a complete framework for dynamic modeling and simulation of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes, written in MATLAB®
    • Novel methods for modeling and implementing various pressure-flow relationships and controlled boundary conditions are implemented in toPSAil
    • Novel methods for improving efficiency and reducing extensive trial-and-error tuning often required to produce working PSA cycles are implemented in toPSAil
    • The user-interface of toPSAil is based on the MATLAB® GUI app and macro-enabled Excel® spreadsheets
    • The release comes with a set of working example simulations

      • The release comes with a set of working example simulations
      • The code for toPSAil is released on GitHub as a public repository
      • The toPSAil repository contains all the necessary .m MATLAB® files for simulating pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes, including the main function (and accompanying MATLAB® GUI), source codes, example folders, as well as the macro-enabled .xlsm Excel® spreadsheet files for each example
          • Within the toPSAil repository, there are 6 main folders
            • 1_config
              • Supporting files for the repository that are not directly used by the simulator
                • e.g., image files
            • 2_run
              • .m files for running PSA process simulations
              • MATLAB® GUI for running PSA process simulations
            • 3_source
              • Helper function .m files that are called by the main function to run simulations
              • Implementation of the dynamic models for PSA process simulation given as .m files
            • 4_example
              • Example folders, each containing .xlsm files for specifying simulation input parameters
              • Simulation output results, saved as .csv files, for each example
            • 5_reference
              • .pdf files of published papers used to obtain the parameters for the example simulations
            • 6_publication
              • Figures generated for the publication of the simulation results
