Popis: The analysis of the cyclic adsorption process and the installation of separation of gas mixtures by the method of pressure swing adsorption as an object of optimization have been carried out. The study found operating (control) variables (the duration of the adsorption stage, the pressure at the compressor outlet, the coefficient of reverse flow for the regeneration of the adsorbent, the program of changes in the opening time of the inlet and outlet valves of the installation); undefined parameters (composition, temperature and pressure of the initial gas-air mixture); output variables of the installation (concentration of oxygen, nitrogen in the product gas flow, the productivity of the installation, the degree of extraction and reduced costs for the production of oxygen with a given purity of 40 - 90 and higher vol.%). A one-stage problem of optimization of the regimes of a stationary periodic process of adsorption separation of atmospheric air and oxygen concentration was formulated and solved by the method of short-cycle adsorption under conditions of partial uncertainty of the initial information in the presence of restrictions on the purity of the product gas, the productivity of the installation and the rate of gas flow in the “frontal layer” of the adsorbent. An iterative algorithm for its solution is proposed.
