1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Working Principle:
Regeneration based air purification system termed as ‘’Molecular Sieve Battery’’ have two
recyclable vessels, battery-A & battery-B. One side works at a time to purify air and the other
recycles to be ready. This cycle is called regeneration & requires change over after each 8 hours.
Hence Air Purification Unit needs moisture & hydrocarbon free air to maintain the functionality of
Molecular Sieve, that’s why multilevel separators & filters has been provided withing the process
skid. Details are as below-

1.3 INSTALLATIOIN CONDITION
This equipment must be installed in a well-ventilated area. Maximum assembly height for
skid is 3500 mm and there should be minimum 5 mtrs. clearance from roof height so that lifting of
equipment and heat ventilation can be easy.
Process Skid designed and manufactured for indoor duty for applications where the process will be
subjected to extreme conditions for corrosive environment or harsh conditions.
Should be protected with direct contact with moisture/water.
Area should be free from Dust & heat should not be more than 40’C.
Vibration absorption technique should be applied during alignment of motor & pully there should
not be heavy vibration at installed floor from other equipment.
Foundation and Floorings
The foundation design is the end user’s responsibility. Local soil

conditions can affect the foundation design. Generally, vibration or shaking problems are less likely. As a rule of
thumb, when preparing the foundation, the mounting slab should be 8 to 10 inches thick with the overall length and
width 4 inches longer and wider on each side of the structural skid. Floor should be RCC Concrete 150 mm
thickness minimum and free from water logging.

3.0 Safe operating Procedure
• Verify before starting supply of air pressure to the through process skid, keep open the air vent/drain
valve for gradual adjustment of pressure, cooling water should be on, chiller Should be on. Booster
outlet should not be higher that 48kg/cm2
3.1 After Cooler:
Air Flow 1000 Nm3/hr Air Temp. inlet 40-55’C ~

Air Pressure 45 kg/cm2 Cooling Water Pressure 2-3kg/cm2
Water temp inlet 25’C Cooling Water flow 3-4m3/hr ~
Cooling water should not be hard as water softener is recommended to use in water supply line
There should not be any leakage from water line or cooler tank.
3.2 Moisture separator:

Air pressure 45 kg/cm2 Air flow 1000Nm3/hr
Drain valve operating time Every 20 mins Outlet safety valve Point 51 kg/cm2
Moisture Drain
Fail to drain moisture can affect the whole process
3.3 Cascade Cooler:
Waste Nitrogen based cooling system which works on heat exchange process with water filled inside
and makes the compressed air cold in order to decrease the load on chiller and save energy.
Water Inlet Water Level indicator

Air pressure 45 kg/cm2 Air flow 1000Nm3/hr
Inlet Temperature 30-35’C Water level maintained 4-8 inch maximum
3.4 Pre-cooling unit (coil cooler):
Coiled tube-based cooler which is attached with 4TR refrigeration unit to control the air temperature between
6-10’C, at this temperature moisture gets removed by further separators.
Coil cooler Specification:

Air pressure 45 kg/cm2 Air outlet temperature 6-10’C
Inlet Temperature 20-25’C Water level maintained 80%
Refrigeration Unit:
Power Supply 415V AC, 50HZ, 3φ Refrigerant Type R407 C
Inlet Air temperature 25°C Outlet Temp. Set point 6-10 °C
Do not run chiller in following conditions
• If water is not available in tank or water temp. less than 10°c.

• If Refrigerant leakage or abnormal sound.
• Continuos trip and not achieving the cooling range.
3.5 Oil adsorber: Air pressure before entering the oil adsorber should be free from moisture,
oil adsorber doesn’t need any operational changes as it is a static equipment.
3.6 Air Purification unit (Molecular Sieve Battery)

• Make sure incoming air from chiller should be 5-10’C, moisture and contamination should be filtered & drain
out by multi stage filters.
• MSB vessels should be pressurized gradually, sudden supply of high pressure is not allowed. Before opening of
battery inlet make sure there should not be pressure in compressor pipeline. In order to reduce this risk, first
keep the battery valve open then start compressors.
• Confirm the ready status of connected equipment Column and Expander
• Bypass valves for heater air inlet top-up at inlet line should be always CLOSE, in normal condition. This valve is
provided to use only when column is isolated or exceptional regeneration is required.
• Keep monitoring pressure maximum 45 bar for the main air supply. If other side in recycle then 0.5 bar for
heater.
• Check the safety valve for main air each month, set point to blow off at 50 bar.
• Do not run the process if Chiller to battery air temp is higher than 22’C
3.7 Automatic Regeneration Control Panel

MSB regeneration can be done by Automatic/Manual process but temperature should be monitored
and switching decision can be taken according process result. For more details se…..DRAWING 4.2
To start heating process, Supply air pressure 0.25-0.5 bar inside heater then start heater power. Target temp. at
TI-1 is 120’C then stop heater, and keep cooling up to TIC1201 achieves 40’c or less
Do not run heater without air flow/pressure 0.25kg/cm2.
4.0 Regeneration of Air purification unit:
Air Purification unit are used purify the compressed air before supplying into the column for air separation. It has filled
with special adsorption chemical which adsorbs co2 from atmospheric air and supply only purest form of gas which
contains O2, N2 & other rare gases only. This adsorption process could be run for 8hrs and after that the chemical gets
saturated and need to regenerate to re-use. This process rotates each 8hr cycle to change one MSB to another.

4.1 Regeneration Process & MSB Change over cycle

What is regeneration of Molecular Sieve Battery?
It is a reverse flushing process in which hot air is used to escape out co2 adsorbed inside the molecular sieve, this
process includes heating and cooling sequentially.
During regeneration of MSB hot & then cold air flow can used from Waste Nitrogen or moisture free air if N2 is not
available.
Regeneration process runs continuously with-in the plant production process, one MSB runs in line and the same time
another used for regeneration.
4.2 Check points for APU Regeneration:
1 Check the position of Air valves, only one MSB line should be used at a time.
2 Pressurising the APU Vessel and depressurizing should be always done gradually with special
attention.
3 Must have air pressure 0.25kg/cm2 in Heater inlet line before star-up the heating.
4 Hot air inlet to the MSB should not exceed 250˚C & outlet not more than 120˚C
5 Cooling/WN2 air inlet should be 15˚C or less
2 Power input in heater panel 415V AC. Status indicator should be on.
3 WN2 inlet outlet valve should be open to exhaust the hot air
4 Start heater and monitor temp and check ampere once in a day.
Never Open the APU valves suddenly when pressure before valve is more than 1 bar or higher, it can hit the
chemical due to sudden high pressure.
