Which module should be used in Aspen Plus to simulate air separation for nitrogen production (using carbon molecular sieves)? Can a separator be used directly, or is a distillation tower necessary?
When simulating the air separation process for nitrogen production in Aspen Plus, separator or distillation column modules are not typically used directly. Since carbon molecular sieve adsorption technology is involved, the Adsorption module should be used to simulate this process. The Adsorption module can more accurately simulate the interaction and separation behavior between adsorbents (such as carbon molecular sieves) and gases. You need to set parameters such as the adsorption bed, adsorbent selection, feed composition, and operating conditions. .
