Adsorptive decomposition of a gas mixture is performed by vacuum pressure swing adsorption. The gas mixture is condensed to the adsorption pressure by means of at least one condenser prior to being fed into the vacuum pressure swing adsorption process. Regeneration of the adsorber(s) is carried out by means of at least one vacuum pump. The condensed gas mixture (1, 5, 6) is at least periodically and/or at least partially temporarily stored (S1) and/or fed to a consumer at those times when no gas mixture is being fed to the vacuum pressure swing adsorption process; and/or at least one of the vacuum pumps (P) that is not required for the regeneration is used at least occasionally for another application at those times when no regeneration of the adsorber or an adsorber (A, A′) is being carried out. |
