Abstract:
1. An adsorber vessel for the adsorption of gas contaminants from a gaseous stream comprising: a vertical wall baffle positioned on an inner surface of an adsorber vessel wall, wherein the vertical wall baffle comprises a first section having a first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the first section is affixed along the periphery of the inner surface of the adsorber vessel wall and wherein the second end of the first section extends outwardly from the periphery of the inner surface of the adsorber vessel wall; and a second section having first end and a second end, wherein the first end of the second section is affixed proximate to the second end of the first section, and wherein the second end of the second section extends vertically upward in the adsorber vessel such that the second end of the second section is in a spaced relationship with a portion of the inner surface of the adsorber vessel wall above the second section creating a volume between the vertical wall baffle and the inner surface of the adsorber vessel wall; and a bed support positioned spatially apart from and below the vertical wall baffle and affixed to the inner surface of the adsorber vessel wall to support an adsorbent material, wherein the adsorbent material is interned by at least the bed support and the vertical wall baffle such that at least 90% of the volume created between the vertical wall baffle and the inner surface of the adsorber vessel is free of adsorbent material.
