(54) Title: APPARATUS AND SYSTEM = 416 400 --,„k 1 = FOR SWING ADSORPTION PROCESSES RELATED THERETO (57) : Provided are apparatus and systems for performing a swing adsorption process. This swing adsorption process may involve passing , streams through adsorbent bed units to remove contaminants, such as wa- ter, from the stream. As part of the process, the adsorbent bed unit may provide access to the adsorbent material within the adsorbent bed unit • without having to remove one or more of valves, conduits and manifolds. 41 4•1 71 = 406 - MN tom_ = , I \" II I F 418 o lififfilliall 0 402 WO = 1111111111181 — 404 laiffiriffi , 1 1 110Thir 6 = IIIIIII II 11 — 408 412 iff = A At = — 90 „,.. 422 oimila is OP u tI ki q L a , \" , . ffw Figure 4A 424 = 416 AIF Mk M II — ia; 4\" 11 , IN 1 4 11 , 1 r ill f c ma ' i r = mum! 1 . # $ ‘ 4 ffiginwl 2 11 W MUM* INK ' 408 II. immos 1 IIII 11 I ei 412 iTt , -.4 lin )11 SD 1-1 IN 1-1 0 ei 1 ,,.„ t o6 ,i, 414 i l ,•_, Figure 4B 0 WO 2017/160521 Al MIDEDIMOMOIDEIR010130HIMINHOHNHOM BZ, CA, CH, CL, CN, CO, CR, CU, CZ, DE, DJ, DK, DK, EE, ES, FI, FR, GB, GR, HR, HU, IE, IS, IT, LT, DM, DO, DZ, EC, EE, EG, ES, FI, GB, GD, GE, GH, LU, LV, MC, MK, MT, NL, NO, PL, PT, RO, RS, SE, GM, GT, HN, HR, HU, ID, IL, IN, IR, IS, JP, KE, KG, SI, SK, SM, TR), OAPI (BF, BJ, CF, CG, CI, CM, GA, KH, KN, KP, KR, KW, KZ, LA, LC, LK, LR, LS, LU, LY, MA, MD, ME, MG, MK, MN, MW, MX, MY, MZ, NA, NG, NI, NO, NZ, OM, PA, PE, PG, PH, PL, PT, GN, GQ, GW, KM, ML, MR, NE, SN, TD, TG).
