Abstract:
1. A temperature swing adsorption system comprising: a first adsorption bed configured to receive a feed stream and adsorb a contaminant from the feed stream to produce a product stream; a second adsorption bed configured to receive a cooling stream to reduce a temperature of the second adsorption bed; a heater configured to receive the portion of the product stream from the second adsorption bed and to increase a temperature of the portion of the product stream to generate a heated product stream; a third adsorption bed configured to receive the heated product stream to increase a temperature of the third adsorption bed; a cooler configured to receive the heated product stream from the third adsorption bed and to decrease a temperature of the heated product stream to generate a cooled product stream; a separation system to separate the cooled product stream into a first component stream and a second component stream; and a fourth adsorption bed configured to receive the first component stream, wherein the product stream of the fourth adsorption bed is directed to the second adsorption bed to provide the cooling stream.
