Gas purification & gas drying
TIL Adsorption
Dynamic plant simulation for gas purification and gas drying
The TIL Add-On Adsorption allows the simulation and analysis of transient drying and separation processes for gas mixtures. The physical principle of adsorption is the basis for all models.

Air drying for battery production
Battery production places extremely high demands on the conditioning of the room air. The relative humidity must be below 1%. At room temperature, this corresponds to a dew point of around -34°C.
The drying of the air to such low residual humidities is carried out in multi-stage processes with sorption wheels. The energy required for drying can be minimized by smart process control and heat recovery.
With TIL Adsorption you will find a plant configuration and control system that meets the requirements of battery production and protects the environment by minimizing energy consumption.
Direct Air Capture
Direct Air Capture offers the possibility of recovering carbon dioxide directly from the ambient air. Here, too, the basic principle is adsorption.
The CO2 from the environment is passed over large adsorbers via fans and adsorbed there. The subsequent desorption at about 100°C yields highly concentrated CO2 that can be utilized or stored.
At present, the technology still has a rather high energy requirement. In the MoGaTEx research project, we are investigating model-based design to increase energy efficiency with TIL adsorption.
Models for numerous adsorption systems
The library contains examples of adsorber columns, multiple discretized sorption wheels up to complete pressure swing adsorption (PSA) systems.
With the models you can e.g. optimize the dimensioning of adsorbers, investigate which sorbent is suitable for your process or improve control concepts and switching times for an adsorption plant.
