Abstract:
A method for removing adsorbable pollutants from an inlet gas stream using a rotary concentrator having adsorbent media including an adsorption zone and at least one desorbent zone, said method comprising the following steps:a rotating said adsorbent media;passing said inlet gas stream including removable adsorbable pollutants over said media in an adsorbent zone, thereby removing said adsorbent pollutants;passing a first gas stream having a temperature equal to or greater than a desorption temperature of adsorbable pollutants on said adsorbent media over said media in said desorbent zone for a time sufficient to heat said media in said desorbent zone to generally the desorption temperature of said adsorbable pollutants on said adsorbent media;then passing a second gas having a temperature less than said desorption temperature of said adsorbent media over a said media in said desorbent zone to remove said adsorbable pollutants from said desorbent zone; andprocessing said gas containing said adsorbent pollutants received from said desorbent zone in a processor by destroying or removing said adsorbable pollutants.
