Modelling and simulation of a pressure swing reactor

A Pressure Swing Reactor is a unit designed to incorporate simultaneous reaction and separation into one unit operation. The concept expands on the well-established method of Pressure Swing Adsorption, with the addition of catalyst to allow reaction to take place. The PSR is operated with a four step cycle, according to the Skarstrøm process. This thesis uses a combination of analytical and numerical analyses on a mathematical model of the PSR to characterise the units general behaviour under various conditions.
