Abstract
Gas with >=1 contaminant is purified in multiple parallel absorbers, which may comprise pairs of vessels contg. e.g. activated alumina and molecular sieve packings. The absorbers are operated alternately, the phases of the process being; regeneration, by vacuum and/or elution; partial pressurisation by back flow of purified gas, (to displace the zone of residual impurities). pressurization by, and isobaric flow of treated gas; reduction of absorber to atmospheric pressure by vent to air, or pref. by equilibrium in co-current flow with a second absorber undergoing repressurization, (to conserve product). The apparatus may be used to remove H2O and CO2 from air; or to produce pure H2 from natural gas, in which case impurities removed during regeneration may be recompressed and used to heat the reformer. Process cycle time may be e.g. 90 secs, with purification phase occupying 30 secs, so that using three absorbers, ballast tanks are not necessary. The process may be automatic, sensors to detect the position of zone of impurity being used for control.
