Patent ID: 8758480

Claim:
A method of facilitating producing a purified gas output, comprising: generating a purified gas output via a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) from an ambient air that includes the following: pressurizing a first adsorption vessel to force the ambient air into a first filter medium, wherein the ambient air includes a portion of Nitrogen and a portion of Oxygen; adsorbing the portion of Nitrogen from the ambient air into the first filter medium; and de-adsorbing the portion of Oxygen from the ambient air via the first filter medium to produce the purified gas output; monitoring in situ the purified gas output in real-time to detect a parameter associated with the PSA, wherein real-time is a time at which the purified gas output is received from the first filter medium; the step of monitoring in situ the purified gas output includes utilizing an orifice in between a high pressure sensor and a low pressure sensor to detect the parameter of the purified gas output; dynamically analyzing the real-time parameter associated with the PSA to a threshold value; controlling the PSA based at least in part upon the in situ real-time monitoring of the purified gas output; controlling a compressor that distributes the ambient air into the first filter medium based on the dynamically analyzing of the real-time parameter; and de-activating an equipment that is down-the-line from the PSA and uses the purified gas output, wherein the deactivating of the equipment is based on the dynamically analyzing of the real-time parameter.
