In this work, we present a new framework for synthesizing the PSA cycle with the lowest predicted CO2 capture costs. In this framework, we train artificial neural networks (ANNs) using Bayesian regularization methods as surrogate models for the various PSA steps. The ANNs are trained on simulation data collected from our PSA model consisting of a system of partial differential algebraic equations incorporating mass and energy balances, pressure drop across the column, competitive multi-site Langmuir isotherms and the linear driving force model.2 With the ANN surrogate models, we propose a mixed integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) model to determine the ideal ordering and duration of steps in order to minimize the energy requirements and maximize the adsorbent productivity. We evaluate this model with several adsorbents, including Ni-MOF-74, UTSA-16 and zeolite 13X to compare the adsorbents under optimized cycle conditions.
