  • Publication number: 20240109053
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are systems and methods for regenerating media in a siloxane removal system. In particular, the present disclosure relates to a method for regenerating an adsorption medium, comprising receiving a source gas stream comprising at least one hydrocarbon and carbon dioxide; separating the source gas stream into a carbon dioxide-rich gas stream, and a substantially carbon dioxide-free gas stream; directing the carbon dioxide-rich gas stream into a regeneration vessel containing an adsorption medium having one or more adsorbed impurities on the adsorption medium; desorbing impurities from the adsorption medium by contacting the adsorption medium with the carbon dioxide-rich gas stream to generate a carbon dioxide-rich gas containing desorbed impurities and a regenerated adsorption medium; and directing the carbon dioxide-rich gas stream containing desorbed impurities out of the regeneration vessel.

  • Patent number: 10843118
    Abstract: A filtration apparatus for filtering a fluid stream includes a vessel housing. At least one cartridge assembly is arranged within the vessel housing. The cartridge assembly includes filtration material arranged between at least one inlet and at least one outlet. The filtration material treats the fluid stream to form a filtered fluid stream. In use, the fluid stream is received a feed port of the vessel housing, flows through the filtration material in the cartridge assembly between the inlet and the outlet, and the filtered fluid stream is discharged from a discharge port of the vessel housing. The filtration apparatus can be used to remove siloxanes from the fluid stream.

  • Patent number: 10570792
    Abstract: A method of removing impurities from a gas including the steps of removing impurities from biogas comprising at least one adsorbents via a process vessel or reactor, directing the purified gas to an device to generate power and/or heat, regenerating the saturated adsorption media with the waste heat recovered from the engine exhaust and directing the regeneration gas (hot air or engine exhaust) to flare, engine exhaust stack, or atmosphere.
