Apparatus and Systems Having An Encased Adsorbent Contactor and Swing Adsorption Processes Related Thereto

摘要

Provided are encased parallel channel adsorbent contactor apparatus and systems and swing adsorption processes related thereto. Encased parallel channel adsorbent contactors are useful in swing adsorption processes. A plurality of the encased adsorbent contactors are loaded and sealed together in a swing adsorption vessel such that substantially an entire feed stream must pass through the channels of the contactors and not through stray gaseous stream paths between contactors.

主权项

1. A swing adsorption contactor system comprising:
a plurality of hollow rigid liners each having an inner surface and open axial ends, adjacent liners being fixedly connected to each other; a monolith adsorbent contactor being disposed within each liner, each monolith adsorbent contactor having an outer surface spaced from the inner surface of the liner; and a bonding agent being disposed in the space between the outer surface of the monolith adsorbent contactor and the inner surface of the liner to form a seal to prevent gaseous flow in the space.
