Description

1. Product Overview

This system is designed for the treatment and concentration of oxygen-containing low-concentration coalbed methane. It adopts a micro-pressure Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) process to selectively separate methane (CH₄) from nitrogen (N₂) and oxygen (O₂).

Compared with conventional methods such as membrane separation, deoxygenation, and direct liquefaction, this system focuses on low-energy, low-pressure methane enrichment.

Developed by Chengdu Huaxi Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., the system is suitable for industrial-scale coalbed methane utilization and energy recovery.
