TSA meaning in oil and gas

temperature swing adsorption

Dehydration method This method is known as temperature swing adsorption (TSA). In classical applications, the TSA heater is realized as an ordinary burner or as a a global energy company and tube heat exchanger warmed by steam or by hot oil. The regeneration gas warms in the heater and flows into the column. In the column passes through the adsorbent and the water desorbs into the regeneration gas. The water saturated regeneration gas then flows into the cooler. The cooler usually uses cold air to decrease the temperature of the regeneration gas. When the water saturated regeneration gas is cooled, partial condensation of the water occurs. The regeneration gas is led further into the separator, where the condensed water is removed.
