An apparatus for purifying and liquifying an input gas containing natural gas and air. The apparatus comprises a plurality of molecular sieve assemblies operatable to clean the gas on a gas cleaning mode and to be regenerated on a heating mode and a cooling mode. A first assembly cleans the gas while a second sieve assembly is being regenerated. A three position valve associated with each molecular sieve assembly changes the modes of the sieve assemblies. A two position valve supplies hot air for heating the sieve assemblies during the heating mode, supplies cool air for cooling the sieve assemblies when the sieve assemblies are at a temperature above 400 DEG F. and supplies cool gas for cooling the sieve assemblies when the sieve assemblies are at a temperature below 400 DEG F.
