PRISM® VSA - On-Site Gas Generation for the Glass Industry | Air Products

Decarbonizing glass production is now a top priority for the industry. Glass manufacturers are seeking concrete solutions to reduce CO2 emissions while maintaining process quality and performance. Air Products is committed to supporting you. Our expertise and technologies guide you at every step of your transition toward a more sustainable glass industry. for your glass decarbonization project with oxygen. Prism VSA technology enables you to generate your own oxygen directly on site. How does it work? The process begins as ambient air is drawn into the system by a blower. This air passes through a filtration unit which removes particullet to ensure only clean air enters the next stage. The filtered air enters two vertical vessels filled with molecular saves. These cives selectively absorb nitrogen molecules allowing oxygen to pass through. The vessels operate in cycles. While one is absorbing, the other is regenerating. The oxygen produced is collected in a buffer tank. This tank maintains a steady and uninterrupted supply of oxygen to your process even during the cycles of the absorber vessels. Waste gases and water vapor are removed by a vacuum blower. The entire system is fully automated and monitored 24/7. Prism VSA adapts to your process with flexible performance and customizable options to maximize the decarbonization of your glass process. Air products offers a complete solution. Our low pressure oxifuel combustion system combines advanced technologies like prism VSA and clean fire hx burners fully compatible with hydrogen combustion and therefore ready for future fuels to deliver efficiency and reliability by eliminating the need for oxygen booster blowers. We help reduce capital investment, lower prism VSA power consumption by 16%, cut maintenance costs and increase system reliability. And beyond low pressure solutions, our glass decarbonization technologies enable glass manufacturers to achieve up to 63% CO2 emission reduction compared to conventional air fuel systems.
